Chroma Db Plans Pricing
Chroma has two consumption models. The core Chroma server is open source (Apache 2.0) and free to self-host with no license fee - your only cost is the infrastructure you run it on. Chroma Cloud is the managed, serverless offering billed on usage. Cloud tiers observed on the pricing page: a Starter plan at $0/month with free credits, a Team plan with a monthly base plus usage, and a custom Enterprise plan. Cloud usage is metered on data written, data stored, data queried, and network egress rather than on a fixed per-request price.
