The short version

  • Only Tray.io 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; Tray.io now rebranded Tray.ai; pricing page names three tiers, Pro (3 workspaces, 7 day insights), Team (20 workspaces, 30 day insights) and Enterprise (unlimited workspaces, 180 day insights, SSO, HIPAA), but publishes no figures and requires a demo or sales call for a quote
  • They diverge on capability: Lytics covers Data collection, Tray.io covers Low-code workflow builder.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
