Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Google Vertex AI: What is the pricing model for Google Vertex AI?
Vertex AI uses a pay-as-you-go model with no upfront costs or lock-in fees. Costs vary by service: training is billed by compute resources and time (30-second increments), online predictions by machine type per hour, and batch predictions by compute time or per-record for specific AutoML types.
SourceGoogle Vertex AI: What types of data can Vertex AI handle?
Vertex AI supports image, video, text, and tabular data types with tools for uploading, storing, and managing large datasets.
SourceGoogle Vertex AI: Does Vertex AI support custom model training?
Yes. Vertex AI supports both AutoML for automated machine learning and custom training code in Python, R, and other languages.
SourceGoogle Vertex AI: What deployment options are available in Vertex AI?
Vertex AI supports online predictions for real-time use cases and batch predictions for large-scale processing.
