Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Mistral AI
- Smaller model selection compared to OpenAI; Mistral Medium 3.5 significantly more expensive than competing mid-tier models
- Batch processing only available at 50% discount, not free tier
- No free tier; all API access requires payment
Comet ML
- The free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
- Retention stays at 60 days even on the paid Pro plan, and extending it is a $29 per 100k spans add on
- Overage on Pro is $5 per additional 100,000 spans
- The free MLOps tier is a single user with 100 GB of storage and training hours governed by a fair usage policy
- Pro MLOps is $19 per user per month and caps the team at 10 users
