Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Comet ML
- The free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
- Retention stays at 60 days even on the paid Pro plan, and extending it is a $29 per 100k spans add on
- Overage on Pro is $5 per additional 100,000 spans
- The free MLOps tier is a single user with 100 GB of storage and training hours governed by a fair usage policy
- Pro MLOps is $19 per user per month and caps the team at 10 users
DataCamp
- Free tier limited to first chapter of every course only
- Premium plan requires annual billing with no monthly option
- Teams plan requires minimum 2+ users with annual upfront billing
- Free tier excludes access to 790+ courses and skill assessments
