The short version

  • Only AWS SageMaker has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AWS SageMaker vendor lock-in to AWS ecosystem makes migration to other platforms difficult; 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: AWS SageMaker covers Jupyter notebooks, NetSuite covers Financial management.
