Python, TypeScript, Rust and Java ship from one tag, which keeps version talk simple. The release notes have Breaking Changes and Deprecations sections, and recent entries require Node 22 and rename the job APIs. A rename in a minor still annoys me, announced or not. No notice period is stated anywhere. 493 issues are open, many filed by maintainers, with fixes merged on 1 October. CI passes, with Dependabot and cargo-deny. There's no hosted service and so no status page, and the docs' Enterprise OpenAPI link is a 404. Three, because it tells you what broke, and never before it ships.

What you pay is the disk or object storage your tables sit on, plus requests to the bucket, and I can't price either because they depend on where you point it. The managed route is LanceDB Enterprise, priced on request. Its pricing page is a contact form, so there's no rate card, no minimum, no per-1,000 figure and no free tier to read. A LanceDB Cloud dashboard still exists at cloud.lancedb.com, but the current docs cover only the library and Enterprise, and an open issue asks about Cloud billing. Whether Cloud still takes self-serve sign-ups is unchecked. Three because the free route costs $0 and the paid one can't be priced without a sales call.
