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; Comet ML the free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
  • They diverge on capability: Amazon Redshift ML covers SQL-based ML, Comet ML covers Experiment tracking.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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

Comet ML

  • The free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
  • Retention stays at 60 days even on the paid Pro plan, and extending it is a $29 per 100k spans add on
  • Overage on Pro is $5 per additional 100,000 spans
  • The free MLOps tier is a single user with 100 GB of storage and training hours governed by a fair usage policy
  • Pro MLOps is $19 per user per month and caps the team at 10 users
