The short version

  • Only Argo CD has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Amp purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase and subscription usage expires monthly, and Enterprise workspaces are billed at a 50 percent markup over individual and team rates, as of August 2026.; Argo CD licensed under Apache License 2.0 per the project's GitHub repository (argoproj/argo-cd LICENSE); as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
