The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Comet ML the free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention; Dataiku no pricing is published at any tier, and the plans page carries no figures at all
  • They diverge on capability: Comet ML covers Experiment tracking, Dataiku covers Visual data prep.

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

Dataiku

  • No pricing is published at any tier, and the plans page carries no figures at all
  • User, row and compute limits are not stated, so nothing about scale can be assessed before contacting sales
  • Access begins with a demo request or a trial rather than a self serve signup
