Yes. 7 MLOps platforms have a free plan, including Weights & Biases, ClearML, Comet, TrueFoundry, ZenML.
How this page is made
Alternatives come from Databricks's own category, MLOps platforms. Prices come from each vendor's pricing page and are compared at the same volume where both can be computed, and by starting price where neither can. "States that Databricks doesn't" lists what we found on the other vendor's site and didn't find on Databricks's, which doesn't prove Databricks lacks it. How prices are read.
