Costs
Vault Creation
- Free - no charge to create vaults
- S3 buckets created on-demand
Storage Costs (AWS S3)
- Documents: ~$0.023/GB/month
- Vectors: ~$0.023/GB/month (much smaller)
- Example: 100 depositions (30GB) = ~$0.70/month
Ingestion Costs
- OCR: $0.01-0.03 per page (if scanned)
- Embeddings: ~$0.000026 per 1K tokens
- Example: 150-page scanned deposition = ~$2-4 for OCR + ~$0.15 for embeddings
Search Costs (Future)
- Per query: ~$0.000026 (embedding your search query)
- Vector search: Milliseconds, negligible cost
- Example: 1000 searches/month = ~$0.03
Total example: Managing 50 depositions (7,500 pages) = ~$100-150 one-time + ~$5/month storage
