The short version

  • Only PyCharm has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: PyCharm exact pricing for Pro edition not available on homepage; Zabbix Cloud billed by NVPS (new values per second) rather than by number of monitored hosts, so cost scales with metric volume: Nano starts at $50/month for 50 NVPS and 2xLarge reaches $5,000/month for 10,000 NVPS
