Cost Breakdown
These figures estimate the cost of self-hosting the open-source Cognee SDK on your own infrastructure — they are not Cognee Cloud prices. Estimates are based on publicly available API pricing and typical Cognee processing patterns. Actual costs may vary based on content complexity, concurrency, and provider-specific factors such as batch discounts and caching. Infrastructure costs (bandwidth, scaling) may add marginal costs.
