The short version
- Each has a real cost: Deno the runtime itself is MIT licensed per the project's GitHub repository (denoland/deno LICENSE.md) with no cost, but Deno Deploy's free tier caps at 1 million requests and 15 CPU hours per month, per deno.com/deploy/pricing (Aug 2026); Humanloop the free plan caps at 2 members, 50 eval runs, and 10,000 logs per month; every tier above that requires contacting sales, with no self-serve paid plan published, as of August 2026.
Where they differ
Only the attributes on which Deno and Humanloop actually diverge.
Identical on both: starting price (Free), pricing model (freemium), free tier (Yes), platforms (Web), user rating (Not yet rated).
Where each one falls short
