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.; Speakeasy no self-serve pricing is published; every plan requires a sales conversation.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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.

Speakeasy

  • No self-serve pricing is published; every plan requires a sales conversation.
  • The product pivoted away from its original SDK-generation offering, so past documentation and customers built on that use case are no longer the focus.
  • Requires integration with an existing identity provider such as Okta or Entra ID to be useful, so it is not a standalone solution.
  • No published free tier or trial pricing was found.
