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; NetSuite netSuite implementation and consultancy is listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at day rates ranging roughly £175 to £1,850 per unit per day across multiple suppliers, a public-sector contracted rate for the services layer rather than the core Oracle NetSuite licence itself, which remains quote-only.
  • They diverge on capability: Alteryx covers Data preparation, NetSuite covers Financial management.
