The short version

  • Only Dataiku has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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.; Rapid7 InsightVM insightVM is now sold inside Exposure Command rather than as a standalone product
  • They diverge on capability: Dataiku covers Visual Flow, Rapid7 InsightVM covers Asset discovery.
  • 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.

Rapid7 InsightVM

  • InsightVM is now sold inside Exposure Command rather than as a standalone product
  • Rapid7 states pricing is not publicly listed and is provided by custom quote based on the customer's environment
  • Billing counts billable assets including devices, software, identities, cloud compute instances and applications, so the asset count grows faster than a device inventory suggests
  • Cloud security, compliance, infrastructure as code scanning and application security testing require the Ultimate package rather than Essentials
  • Volume discounts are described as commonly available for larger asset counts, so smaller buyers pay the higher unit rate

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.

Rapid7 InsightVM: What is the starting price for Rapid7 InsightVM?

InsightVM starts at $1.62 per month per asset, with example pricing provided for 500-asset deployments.

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.

Rapid7 InsightVM: How much does InsightAppSec cost?

InsightAppSec starts at $175 per month per application for web application security scanning.

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.

Rapid7 InsightVM: What does InsightCloudsec cover?

InsightCloudsec starts at $5,775 per month for cloud security monitoring of up to 500 instances.

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.

Rapid7 InsightVM: Do Rapid7 products include unlimited user accounts?

Yes, all Rapid7 products include unlimited user accounts, 24/7 technical support, single sign-on, and customer-success team access.

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.
