The short version
- Only Comet ML has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Comet ML the free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention; inFlow user interface feels outdated and difficult for new users to navigate
- They diverge on capability: Comet ML covers Experiment tracking, inFlow covers Easy inventory tracking.

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
inFlow
- User interface feels outdated and difficult for new users to navigate
- Customization options are limited with flaky screen customization functionality
- Poor performance with large or complex inventories
- Limited supply chain management features; focuses primarily on retail side
- Basic plan has limited reporting options requiring upgrades for more reports
- QuickBooks integration reported as problematic by users
- BOM costing does not automatically update when raw part costs change
- Audit trail limited to name and date, becoming insufficient as companies grow
