The short version

  • Only Inngest has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Inngest hobby plans pause execution once free quota exhausted; upgrade required to continue; Lytics billed in credits where one credit is an update to a user profile, so the bill tracks how often profiles change rather than how many exist
