Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Jasper

  • The Pro plan at $59 a month billed annually is a single user, and adding seats requires contacting sales
  • Pro is capped at 2 brand voices, 5 knowledge assets and 3 audiences
  • API access, custom agents and advanced admin controls are all Business only
  • The Business plan is custom priced and carries a minimum 12 month commitment
  • Several image tools including upscaling and background replacement are excluded from Pro
  • No word or credit allowance is published for either plan

Linode

  • linode.com/pricing returns a 301 redirect to akamai.com/cloud/pricing; the service is now sold as Akamai Cloud
  • Charges accrue for any service on the account even when it is powered off, because RAM and network capacity stay reserved; only deleting the service stops billing
  • Network transfer beyond the monthly allotment is billed from $0.005 per GB and the rate varies by region
  • The Akamai Cloud pricing landing page shows no rates and directs visitors to regional pricing pages or sales
