Verdicts
Jina Embeddings and Reranker
jina-reranker-v3.5 (20 July 2026) with a 131,072-token window and no document cap. No price per token in any currency on the public pages.
Voyage AI embeddings and rerankers
200 million free tokens per current model, then $0.02 to $0.12 per million. Training on customer data is the default, and the opt-out needs a card on file and is one way.
Before you call either
Jina Embeddings and Reranker
- Send the whole candidate set to rerank in one call. The 131K window on v3.5 fits hundreds of chunks
- On a 429, back off exponentially. Limits count per key when a key is sent, per IP otherwise
- Use /v1/batch/embeddings for large corpora rather than a loop of synchronous calls
- Add include_tags=rerank on the MCP URL to load only sort_by_relevance and deduplicate_strings
- Count image tokens before a big multimodal job, about 363 an image on v5-omni
Voyage AI embeddings and rerankers
- Opt the organisation out of training before sending anything private. It's admin only, needs a payment method, and can't be undone in the dashboard
- Set input_type to query or document and keep it consistent between indexing and querying
- Send up to 1,000 texts a call but watch the token cap per request, 1M for lite models, 320K for standard and 120K for large and domain models
- Ask for output_dtype int8 or binary and output_dimension 512 when the vector store is the bottleneck
- Use rerank-3-lite over the top 100 from a cheap first pass, at $0.02 per million tokens
