The short version

  • Only Git has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Val Town the free tier limits scheduled crons to 15 minute intervals and functions to a 1 minute wall clock time per run; only the $21 per month Pro tier reduces the cron interval to 1 minute, as of August 2026.
