The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dataiku visual recipes are stored as Dataiku's own configuration and do not export as runnable SQL or Python, so a Flow with hundreds of visual steps has to be rebuilt from scratch if the organisation ever leaves, and that cost rises with every project added.; Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
  • They diverge on capability: Dataiku covers Visual Flow, Fiix covers Work order management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dataiku

  • Visual recipes are stored as Dataiku's own configuration and do not export as runnable SQL or Python, so a Flow with hundreds of visual steps has to be rebuilt from scratch if the organisation ever leaves, and that cost rises with every project added.
  • Production requires separate automation and API nodes, each installed and licensed, so the figure quoted for building models is not the figure for running them.
  • Licensing is per user across tiers, and the lower tiers are constrained enough that occasional contributors frequently end up needing a full seat, which makes a wide rollout cost more than the initial estimate suggested.
  • A self-hosted installation needs a dedicated administrator for upgrades, connection management, permissions and node topology, so the licence is a fraction of the real cost of ownership.
  • Computation pushes down to the warehouse or Spark cluster where it is billed by that provider, so a platform sold on making analysts self-sufficient can generate a large warehouse bill that nobody attributes back to it.

Fiix

  • Integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
  • The $75 Professional plan still excludes e signatures, failure codes and any integration
  • The $45 Basic plan excludes multi site management, purchasing and advanced analytics
  • The free plan is limited in users and withholds almost every feature beyond basic work orders
  • Assets are unlimited on every tier, so the ladder is entirely about features rather than scale

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dataiku: Is there a free version?

There is a free edition with limits on users and features, adequate for evaluation and personal work. Anything a team runs in production is a negotiated commercial agreement.

Fiix: What is included in Fiix's free plan?

The free plan includes 25 active preventive maintenance tasks, unlimited work orders, basic asset management, and mobile app access.

Source
Dataiku: Do I have to write code to use it?

No. That is the premise. An analyst can build a complete pipeline through visual recipes, and a data scientist can write Python next to it in the same Flow.

Fiix: What is the price difference between Basic and Professional plans per user?

Basic costs $45 per user per month, while Professional costs $75 per user per month. Professional is marked as the most popular tier.

Source
Dataiku: Where does the computation actually run?

Wherever you connect it. Transformations are pushed down into the warehouse, database or Spark cluster where the data lives, which is efficient and also means the compute cost appears on that provider's bill rather than Dataiku's.

Fiix: What unique features does the Professional plan add compared to Basic?

Professional includes multi-site management, AI insights, and advanced analytics in addition to the unlimited preventive maintenance and reports included in Basic.

Source
Dataiku: Can I export my work if we leave?

Code recipes are your code and leave with you. Visual recipes do not export as equivalent code, so the visual portion of a Flow has to be reimplemented, and that portion tends to be the majority in the projects where the platform succeeded best.

Fiix: Are there flexible payment options for Fiix subscriptions?

Yes, Fiix offers both month-to-month subscriptions and annual subscription plans with the ability to upgrade anytime. No additional setup or hardware fees apply.

Source
Dataiku: Self-hosted or cloud?

Both are offered. Self-hosting gives control over data residency and networking and requires an administrator; the managed cloud removes that work and moves the constraint to what the vendor's environment supports.

Fiix: What add-on licenses are available, and how are they priced?

Fiix offers Lite License (Operator Access) for limited frontline team access and Fiix MAX AI assistant (requires Professional or Enterprise plan). Pricing for both requires contacting sales.
