How we evaluated this comparison

This comparison draws on each vendor’s public pricing pages, product documentation and marketing material, plus hands-on use of Greta.sh — not a hands-on rebuild of the same application in every tool. Prices and limits are the published list figures at the date below, not promotional rates; vendors change plans often, so check their pricing page before deciding. Where a tool is the better choice for a given job, the page says so.
