The short version

  • Only CrewAI has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; CrewAI the free Basic tier caps at 50 workflow executions per month, with all higher usage requiring a custom Enterprise contract, as of August 2026.
