Pros & Cons

MLflow

  • Genuinely free, open-source, Apache 2.0-licensed core with unchanged cost structure
  • Self-hosting means no license fee — costs are limited to your own storage and compute
  • Free MLflow on Databricks Free Edition provides an accessible managed starting point
  • Self-hosting requires managing your own storage and compute infrastructure costs
  • Databricks Standard tier retirement (blocked new creation after April 1, 2026) affects existing Standard-tier users
  • Managed Databricks pricing follows the DBU consumption model, which requires understanding usage-based billing

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
