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; RapidMiner rapidMiner is now a Siemens product: rapidminer.com redirects to a Siemens product page and the former Altair page redirects there too
- They diverge on capability: Comet ML covers Experiment tracking, RapidMiner covers Visual workflows.

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
RapidMiner
- RapidMiner is now a Siemens product: rapidminer.com redirects to a Siemens product page and the former Altair page redirects there too
- Pricing is by quote only: the product page publishes no rate, no licensing unit and no minimum, offering only a Contact us button
- The product is now one component of a six product portfolio alongside Graph Studio, SLC, Monarch, Panopticon and Knowledge Studio
