The short version

  • Only Cloudinary has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Knack plans are priced by number of records and objects rather than users, ranging from $110 to $300 per month as data volume grows; Cloudinary paid plans jump from a free tier straight to $224 per month, with usage priced on transformations, storage, and bandwidth credits that consume quickly at scale
