The short version

  • Only Redash has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Celonis no pricing is published anywhere on the site; the only path to a quote is a Contact Us sales form requiring company details, with no self-serve signup or published starting price; Redash a basic self-hosted deployment needs a minimum of 4GB of RAM, and more RAM and CPU as background workers and API processes grow

Where each one falls short

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

Celonis

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site; the only path to a quote is a Contact Us sales form requiring company details, with no self-serve signup or published starting price
  • The vendor's own contact page directs prospects to wait for a Celonis representative to get in touch rather than offering instant access

Redash

  • A basic self-hosted deployment needs a minimum of 4GB of RAM, and more RAM and CPU as background workers and API processes grow
  • The official Docker images were not updated for V10, so the documented route is to deploy a V8 instance and then upgrade it
  • Anyone not using a provided cloud image has to configure the environment variables and secrets by hand
