The short version

  • Only Argent has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Argent renamed Ready, and argent.xyz now redirects to ready.co, so the Argent name is retired; Nansen the vendor's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 2021 offered a 7-day trial for $9, described as access to a blockchain analytics platform with wallet labels, dashboards and alerts; the full subscription price beyond the trial was not shown on this capture, only linked from a separate Pricing page
  • They diverge on capability: Argent covers Smart Contract Wallet, Nansen covers Wallet Labels.
