How does Qdrant compare with the alternatives?
Qdrant also runs on your own servers and ARM machines, while Pinecone runs only as a managed service, in your cloud on Enterprise. Both start free, and Pinecone's Standard and Enterprise plans carry monthly minimums.
pgvector keeps vectors in the Postgres you already run, while Qdrant runs as its own database, self-hosted or on Qdrant Cloud. Qdrant indexes filters into its search, and pgvector filters after the index scan, with iterative scans from 0.8.0 to fetch more rows.
