The short version

  • Each has a real cost: BentoML core BentoML framework is Apache 2.0 and free, but the managed BentoCloud enterprise tier has no published pricing: the README instructs buyers to sign up for personal access or contact sales for enterprise use, with no rate card shown.; IBM SPSS add-on packages are priced separately from the base subscription, and the promotional 45% discount on them excludes renewals
  • They diverge on capability: BentoML covers Model packaging, IBM SPSS covers Statistical analysis.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BentoML

  • Core BentoML framework is Apache 2.0 and free, but the managed BentoCloud enterprise tier has no published pricing: the README instructs buyers to sign up for personal access or contact sales for enterprise use, with no rate card shown.

IBM SPSS

  • Add-on packages are priced separately from the base subscription, and the promotional 45% discount on them excludes renewals
  • Subscription cost renews at the then current price at the end of the first year, so the advertised rate applies to the first term only
  • Prices shown are described by IBM as indicative, vary by country and exclude applicable taxes and duties
  • Extended access periods of 12 months or more are handled as tailored pricing rather than a published rate
  • Advanced statistics, custom tables, decision trees and forecasting are separate add-ons rather than part of the base product
