Our take
Pick Dagster if data teams who will stay on OSS / Hybrid $0 compute while they materialize a first asset, or start the Solo 30-day trial and land on $10/month (1 user, 1 code location) when they want Dagster+ without a cluster. Pick Inngest if teams who will stay on Free $0 (50k executions, no card) while they wrap a first agent, then buy Pro at $99/month when they need 1M executions and 7-day traces.
