The short version

  • Only Cyfe has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Glean glean publishes no self-serve pricing tiers at all; both the homepage and dedicated pricing page route every visitor to a demo request with no plan names or figures shown, as of August 2026.; Cyfe dashboards are the billing unit, at 2 on the $29 Starter plan and 5 on the $39 Standard plan

Cyfe
