The short version

Only Deezer has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: FL Studio fruity Edition has no audio recording at all, so recording a vocal or an instrument requires Producer Edition or higher; Deezer pricing and currency are region-locked - the vendor page serves localized pricing rather than a single global figure
