Oracle Cloud

  • The free trial gives US$300 of credit that expires when consumed or after 30 days, whichever comes first

  • Accounts left idle for 30 days or more are eligible for suspension or termination as abandoned

Wiz

  • No public pricing; licensing requires a custom quote based on workloads and sensors.
  • Modular licensing across Cloud, Code, Defend, and Sensor products can complicate cost planning.
  • Full runtime protection value depends on deploying Wiz Sensor agents, adding operational overhead.
  • Primarily aimed at mid-to-large enterprises despite the smaller Wiz Go bundle.
