description: >-
  Vectorize prices its RAG platform in subscription tiers keyed to the number of
  RAG pipelines and monthly page-processing volume, with a Forever Free tier, a
  paid Starter tier, a paid Professional tier, and a custom Enterprise tier. Plans
  bundle the built-in vector database, automatic vector-index syncing, vision-model
  PDF processing, source connectors, and retrieval queries. The Vectorize API is
  available across paid tiers and the same access token authorizes every endpoint.
notes: >-
  Tier names and headline limits as published on the Vectorize pricing page;
  verify current pricing, page allowances, and per-tier feature gates at
  vectorize.io / platform.vectorize.io during reconciliation, as the RAG platform
  pricing is iterated frequently.
