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
incident.io
- Free plan limited to single team and basic features
- Per-user pricing increases costs for larger teams
- Agentic features may require additional integrations
- Advanced features concentrated in higher price tiers
