Cayley vs InfiniteGraph
Both stand on graph databases. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan APILinuxMac+2
Choose Cayley if you need an open-source graph database with multiple query languages, linked data support and a choice of storage backends. Look elsewhere if the workload needs persistence but cannot use a persistent backend such as Bolt.

Pick InfiniteGraph for graph analytics that must combine distributed ingestion with deep-link and relational queries. Consider alternatives if you need established Python, Java or C++ drivers immediately or more than 50GB on the free version.
