Our take
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. Pick Mage if solo data engineers who will use the 7-day trial (no card), then buy Starter at $29/month + $0.50/CPU-hour when they want 50 AI credits and one managed environment.
