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; BentoML core BentoML framework is Apache 2.0 and free, but the managed BentoCloud enterprise tier has no published pricing: the README instructs buyers to sign up for personal access or contact sales for enterprise use, with no rate card shown.
  • They diverge on capability: Amazon Redshift ML covers SQL-based ML, BentoML covers Model packaging.
