AutoML tools automate parts of building machine-learning models, but the tasks and workflows they support can vary. Compare automated model selection and feature engineering, then consider deployment options, hosting model and model explainability. The workflow interface offers another point of comparison for how you interact with the process. BigML, JADBio and Amazon SageMaker Autopilot are among the options to review. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost context. Think about which development steps you want to automate, and whether the deployment, hosting and explanation choices listed align with how you plan to use the resulting models.
