The short version

  • Only Comet ML has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Babbel the App Store listing for Babbel (seller of record: Babbel GmbH) states that subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, with payment charged to the buyer's Apple account; plans are sold in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month terms, and the listing itself discloses no price figure, so the actual monthly-equivalent cost is not visible without proceeding into a purchase flow.; Comet ML the free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
  • They diverge on capability: Babbel covers Bite-sized lessons, Comet ML covers Experiment tracking.
