Alternatives to Pinecone
Other Search and vector infrastructure vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Pinecone does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 25 that differ from Pinecone on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Pinecone has 4 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116). The column “publishes and Pinecone does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
