Voyage AI

Embeddings 3.6/10

Voyage AI (now part of MongoDB) offers state-of-the-art retrieval embeddings and rerankers, with a large free token allowance included on every account.

Voyage AI scores 3.6/10 for free value in Embeddings. The main constraint: First 200 million free tokens for most models (voyage-4-large/4/4-lite, voyage-context-3, voyage-code-3, rerank-2.5, rerank-2.5-lite) per account; 50M for specialized models (finance/law/code-2). No card needed to start.

Category Embeddings Kind Hosted embeddings + reranker API (free tokens) Caveats 200M tokens is a one-time per-account allowance (not monthly); rate-limit tiers progress with paid usage; multimodal pixels counted separately. Card required No Eligibility anyone

What you get

Confirmed on docs: 200M free tokens for most embedding and reranker models

Includes rerank-2.5 and rerank-2.5-lite rerankers in the free tier

Code- and domain-specialized models (voyage-code-3, finance, law)

Backed by MongoDB; strong retrieval benchmark performance

Limitations

  • 200M free tokens (main models)

    voyage-4-large, voyage-4, voyage-4-lite, voyage-context-3, voyage-code-3, rerank-2.5, and rerank-2.5-lite each receive 200 million free tokens per account — a one-time lifetime allowance that does not reset.

  • 50M free tokens (legacy/specialized models)

    Older specialized models voyage-multilingual-2, voyage-finance-2, voyage-law-2, and voyage-code-2 receive only 50 million free tokens per account.

  • 200M tokens + 150B pixels (multimodal)

    voyage-multimodal-3.5 and voyage-multimodal-3 receive 200M free text tokens and 150B free pixels per account as a one-time allowance.

  • Lowest rate-limit tier on free usage

    Free-tier accounts start at the lowest RPM/TPM rate-limit tier; limits scale up only as paid usage accumulates.

  • No free tokens on older models

    Models predating the current lineup (voyage-3, voyage-3-large, voyage-3.5, rerank-1, etc.) have no free token allocation and are billed from the first token.

  • No fine-tuned model access

    Fine-tuned dedicated instances and support channels require a sales engagement; there is no self-serve free-tier path.
