The short version

  • Only Baremetrics has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Baremetrics priced on the revenue it measures, so the bill rises with your ARR rather than with usage: $75 a month up to $360K ARR, $255 to $3.6M and $1,152 above that; Pluralsight core Tech plan lists at $49/month while the broader Complete plan across all domains lists lower at $29/month on the same pricing page
  • They diverge on capability: Baremetrics covers Revenue Metrics, Pluralsight covers Video courses.
