Pros & Cons

Flowise

  • Genuinely free, open-source self-hosted option for full infrastructure control
  • Visual drag-and-drop interface speeds up building LLM workflows compared to coding from scratch
  • Managed cloud plans available for teams not wanting to self-host
  • Real total cost significantly exceeds the advertised subscription price once model usage and vector storage are included
  • Actual monthly spend for a RAG-based application can run $105-200+, not just the $35-65 subscription fee
  • Self-hosted option requires managing your own infrastructure and associated costs

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
