The short version

  • Only Amazon Redshift ML has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Groq pricing is not published and is sold entirely by quote, making cost comparison difficult
