Hey, I'm from Pinecone. What we've found in the past two years is people need a lot more from a vector database than raw speed on a single-node index. In practice, as long as search latency meets requirements (like, say, 100ms p95), the deciding factors tend to be things like cost for a given scale, amount of engineering overhead required or saved, reliability, features that affect search quality such as filtering and hybrid search, and so on. Everyone has different workloads and different need. For example, I wouldn't recommend Pinecone to someone who just needs a pure ANN index like Faiss or HNSW on a single machine. Try out a few options and see what works for you... We make Pinecone easy + free to try for exactly this purpose, so you don't have to rely on a barebones "comparison" table from a third party.
