The short version
- Only Git has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- 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.; Git licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 as stated on git-scm.com/about; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
