The short version

  • Only Baremetrics has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Periscope Data the periscopedata.com domain now redirects to sisense.com, so Periscope Data is no longer sold as a standalone product; Baremetrics priced on the revenue it measures, so the bill rises with your ARR rather than with usage: $75 a month up to $360K ARR, $255 to $3.6M and $1,152 above that
  • They diverge on capability: Periscope Data covers SQL Editor, Baremetrics covers Revenue Metrics.
