# Weaviate Cloud is now free to start

**[Weaviate](https://daily.dev/sources/weaviate)** · 4 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Weaviate Cloud is introducing a permanent free tier across its entire product suite, including the managed database, Query Agent, and Engram memory layer. Unlike the previous time-limited sandbox, the new free tier has no credit card requirement and no expiration — it remains active as long as you use it. The change was motivated by Weaviate's evolution from a standalone open-source database into a cloud platform with services that can't simply be self-hosted. When projects outgrow the free tier, upgrading to pay-as-you-go requires no migration.
