Key Highlights
💎 Juris - Complete RAG Solution
Only $10/mo for full-stack RAG with frontend, auth, ingestion, chunking, vector DB, LLM ops. Multi-tenant and infinitely scalable on GCP.
Pinecone - Vector DB Leader
$50-$300+/mo. Popular managed vector database but requires additional components for complete RAG solution.
Weaviate - Flexible Architecture
$100-$500/mo. Strong GraphQL integration with some LLM capabilities, but still needs frontend and auth layers.
Qdrant - Performance Focused
$10-$30+/mo. Rust-based vector DB with comparable pricing to Juris, but lacks RAG pipeline components.
Lucidworks - Enterprise Platform
$1,000-$5,000+/mo. Complete enterprise search + RAG platform for Fortune 500, but 100x+ more expensive than Juris.
Cohere - LLM + Embeddings
$100-$2,000+/mo. Strong LLM and embedding APIs but requires separate vector database and storage infrastructure.
