The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dataiku no pricing is published at any tier, and the plans page carries no figures at all; Ollama requires user to provide computational hardware; no free cloud compute; models may not fit in available RAM on typical machines

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

Ollama

  • Requires user to provide computational hardware; no free cloud compute; models may not fit in available RAM on typical machines
  • No hosted service option for inference; all computational burden falls to user
  • Limited to open-weight models; cannot run proprietary models like GPT-4 or Claude locally
  • Performance depends entirely on user's hardware; no SLAs or guarantees on speed
