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

Stata

  • The entry Stata/BE edition is capped at 2,048 variables and 798 independent variables in a model
  • Raising the variable limit to 32,767 requires Stata/SE and 120,000 requires Stata/MP
  • Stata/MP is licensed by core count, so 2 core and 4 core licences are priced separately
  • Student licences require proof of enrolment at a degree granting institution
  • Stata/MP is not sold on a 6 month student term
  • Perpetual student licences cost several times the annual price, for example $298 against $94 for Stata/BE
