- From
- Free
- Rated
- -
The short version
- Only ClearML 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; ClearML broad scope means more to learn and more to run than a focused tracking tool
- They diverge on capability: Alteryx covers Data preparation, ClearML covers Experiment tracking.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Alteryx
- Starter is $250 per user per month billed annually, and the Professional and Enterprise editions are quote-only
- 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
ClearML
- Broad scope means more to learn and more to run than a focused tracking tool
- Self-hosting the server is real infrastructure — database, file storage and web server
- Documentation quality is uneven across the newer parts of the platform
- Smaller community than the most popular tracking tools, so fewer worked examples exist
