The short version

  • Only DuckDB has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cloze four paid tiers run from $17 to $42 per user per month, and each withholds a different set of features rather than simply adding capacity; DuckDB client-server setup remains in beta and not recommended for production distributed scenarios
  • They diverge on capability: Cloze covers Contact management, DuckDB covers In-process Execution.
