The short version
- Only RudderStack has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Chatwork no pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page; RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Chatwork
- No pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page
- The homepage highlights 256-bit encryption and ISO27001 certification as its main security claims without stating which plan tier includes them
RudderStack
- On the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
- The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
- Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
- Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step
