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
Rytr
- Free plan caps generation at 10,000 characters per month
- The free and Unlimited plans support only 1 language; 35+ languages require the Premium plan
- Plagiarism checking is capped at 50 checks per month on Unlimited and 100 per month on Premium, and is unavailable on the free plan
- Tone matching is unavailable on the free plan and limited to a single tone match on Unlimited
