The top options score within a few points — the choice comes down to preference and the tradeoffs below, not a decisive capability gap. Fit weights are our estimates.
Ranked by capability fit
This is a capability-fit decision, not a price ranking — these tools bill in incompatible units (per-search vs per-RAM cluster vs per-PB scanned) and several publish rates only in their own calculators, so StackSays does not invent a unified dollar comparison. Every score above traces to a documented capability; see Data sources below.
