The short version

  • Only Alteryx has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Alteryx starter is $250 per user per month billed annually, and the Professional and Enterprise editions are quote-only; ChannelAdvisor now operating as Rithum; the pricing page publishes no figures and routes prospects to "request a demo" and "speak with commerce experts" instead
  • They diverge on capability: Alteryx covers Data preparation, ChannelAdvisor covers Marketplace integration.

  • Automation runs are metered, with 50 included on Starter and 15,000 on Professional, and more must be bought
  • Cost depends on three separate dimensions at once: edition, user role and automation capacity
  • Advanced analytics, governance and orchestration are withheld from the entry edition
