How to read the differences
Start with your requirements.
The notes below describe differences in the sourced records, not performance or features proven absent. Different vendors use different names and describe their plans at different levels of detail.
Look at ongoing free access
The two records have the same free-plan status: no ongoing free plan was verified for either.
Read the separate free-plan notes in the table. Trials, refunds, quotas and ongoing free tiers are different things.
