Qdrant Cloud — managed cloud service for the Qdrant open-source vector database, offering scalable embedding storage and retrieval.
Qdrant Cloud provides zero-infrastructure vector search clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with a permanent free tier and hourly-billed usage-based scaling on paid tiers. The DB entry price of $49/mo is incorrect; Standard tier is fully usage-based with no fixed monthly floor and typically runs $30–$200/mo depending on cluster size. The permanent free cluster — 0.5 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 4GB disk, no expiry — is among the most generous in the managed vector database market.
Open-source core eliminates vendor lock-in; the managed cloud removes operational overhead while preserving full API compatibility with self-hosted Qdrant.
Per-resource hourly billing requires careful cluster sizing to avoid cost surprises in production; Premium tier pricing is opaque without a sales conversation.
