The short version

  • Only Khan Academy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GoodData pricing scales per workspace as customer base grows, increasing costs with scale; Khan Academy the Internet Archive's capture of Khan Academy's homepage on 1 January 2021 stated it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and that its full library of practice and lessons 'is all free for learners and teachers', funded by donations rather than subscriptions.
  • They diverge on capability: GoodData covers Headless BI, Khan Academy covers Video lessons.
