Factory vs Humanloop
The short version
- Only Humanloop 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.; 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.
