Machine learning in BigQuery using SQL
- From
- Free
- Free plan
- Yes
The short version
- Each has a real cost: BigQuery ML not available in BigQuery's Standard edition, so the cheapest tier cannot use it; LOVO the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 6 December 2022 listed LOVO Studio at three tiers in US dollars: Free at $0 with 3 downloads per month and 3 day access to premium voices for personal use only; Personal at $17.99 per month paid annually (or $25.99 paid monthly, both promotionally discounted from $34.99/$49.99) capped at 15,000 characters per download and up to 30 downloads per month with commercial rights; and Freelancer at $99.99 per month paid annually (or $149.99 paid monthly) with up to 100 downloads per month and commercial rights; API pricing required a custom quote
- They diverge on capability: BigQuery ML covers SQL-based ML, LOVO covers 500+ voices.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
BigQuery ML
- Not available in BigQuery's Standard edition, so the cheapest tier cannot use it
- Billed through BigQuery compute and storage rather than as its own product, so training cost tracks data scanned
- Remote models incur extra Agent Platform charges on top
- Externally trained model types such as boosted trees and AutoML run through Agent Platform rather than inside BigQuery
LOVO
- The vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 6 December 2022 listed LOVO Studio at three tiers in US dollars: Free at $0 with 3 downloads per month and 3 day access to premium voices for personal use only; Personal at $17.99 per month paid annually (or $25.99 paid monthly, both promotionally discounted from $34.99/$49.99) capped at 15,000 characters per download and up to 30 downloads per month with commercial rights; and Freelancer at $99.99 per month paid annually (or $149.99 paid monthly) with up to 100 downloads per month and commercial rights; API pricing required a custom quote
