Where each one falls short

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

Cognite Data Fusion

  • The platform is only as good as the contextualisation work, and that mapping effort is a consulting project that regularly costs more than the first-year subscription.
  • Pricing is consumption-based and unpublished, so costs move with data volume and usage patterns you cannot forecast well until a year in.
  • It does not replace your historian, your ERP or your maintenance system, so Cognite is an additional recurring cost layered on systems you still pay for.
  • The reference base and data model lean heavily towards Norwegian and wider oil, gas and process industries; discrete manufacturing fit is weaker and the local partner network thinner outside energy.
  • Getting value out requires in-house Python and data engineering skill; organisations without a data team end up dependent on Cognite professional services for every new use case.

Jasper

  • The Pro plan at $59 a month billed annually is a single user, and adding seats requires contacting sales
  • Pro is capped at 2 brand voices, 5 knowledge assets and 3 audiences
  • API access, custom agents and advanced admin controls are all Business only
  • The Business plan is custom priced and carries a minimum 12 month commitment
  • Several image tools including upscaling and background replacement are excluded from Pro
  • No word or credit allowance is published for either plan

Jasper Pro costs $69 per month per seat or $59 per month when billed annually. Additional users and enterprise features require upgrading to the Business plan, which uses custom pricing available through sales contact.

Jasper: Is there a free trial for Jasper?

Yes, Jasper offers a 7-day free trial of the Pro plan with full platform access during the trial period, allowing users to test all features before committing to a monthly subscription.
