AWS SageMaker

  • Vendor lock-in to AWS ecosystem makes migration to other platforms difficult
  • Opaque pricing can lead to unexpected expenses like forgotten EBS volume charges
  • Does not include native job scheduling, requiring Lambda or EventBridge integration

DeepSource

  • Open Source plan caps at 1,000 reviewed pull requests and 1,000 formatting runs per month.
  • AI Review beyond the included credit is billed per 10K lines of code, which can add unpredictable cost.
  • Self-hosted deployment and BYOK AI are Enterprise-only features.
  • Enterprise pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.
