The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Amazon Redshift ML free tier covers only two CREATE MODEL requests per month for two months, capped at 100,000 cells per request; beyond that training is metered at $20 per million cells for the first 10 million, dropping in tiers to $7 per million cells over 100 million; Alteryx starter is $250 per user per month billed annually, and the Professional and Enterprise editions are quote-only
  • They diverge on capability: Amazon Redshift ML covers SQL-based ML, Alteryx covers Data preparation.
