The short version

  • Only Dataiku has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dataiku no pricing is published at any tier, and the plans page carries no figures at all; MATLAB a standard individual licence is $940 a year, and it is annual rather than perpetual
  • They diverge on capability: Dataiku covers Visual data prep, MATLAB covers Matrix computations.

Where each one falls short

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

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

MATLAB

  • A standard individual licence is $940 a year, and it is annual rather than perpetual
  • Add on toolboxes are bought separately through the web store rather than being included
  • No price is displayed for the academic, student, home or startup licences, each of which requires a quote
  • Eligibility rather than price separates most tiers, so a commercial user has one option
