The short version
- Only Arduino Cloud has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Arduino Cloud the free plan allows 2 connected devices, 5 variables each and one day of data retention; Kaseya VSA no pricing information is published on the product page; the only route to cost is requesting a demo, per kaseya.com, August 2026

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Arduino Cloud
- The free plan allows 2 connected devices, 5 variables each and one day of data retention
- Free accounts are limited to 25 compilations a day and 10 trigger notifications a day
- The Maker plan at $72 a year lifts devices to 25 and retention to 3 months, still for a single user
- Team pricing jumps to $1,000 a year
- Two years of data retention and unlimited ingestion require Enterprise
Kaseya VSA
- No pricing information is published on the product page; the only route to cost is requesting a demo, per kaseya.com, August 2026
