The short version

  • Only Trino has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Trino licensed under Apache License 2.0 and governed by the nonprofit Trino Software Foundation per trino.io; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
