Fission vs Restate

Both stand on serverless platforms. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Choose Restate if you need durable execution for services, workflows, or AI agents and want control over where the runtime runs. Its free plan includes 50k durable actions per month. Production users considering Cloud should account for its $75 a month starting price; BYOC uses capacity-based pricing.
