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 Trigger.dev if app teams who will burn the Free $5 credits on a first durable task, then buy Hobby $10 or Pro $50 when concurrency and retention matter.
