The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Factory the $100 per month Plus tier only grants about 5 times the usage of the $20 Pro tier, so usage scales sub-linearly with price, as of August 2026.; Braintrust the free Starter tier includes only $10 of monthly model credits, 1 GB of processed data, and 10,000 scores before overage charges of $4 per GB and $2.50 per 1,000 scores apply, as of August 2026.
