Fabric vs Databricks

could someone do a Comparison between Fabric and Databricks?

I also notice Databricks actually has a Free Edition with personal email.

Wondering when would Microsoft follow suits? so that more customers will try and test it features.

Fabric currently offers a free trial for PBI users and limited access to Fabric tools without requiring a credit card. However, it’s not quite the same as Databricks’ open Community Edition. Microsoft’s model leans toward capacity based licensing, often tied to enterprise subscriptions or Azure commitments.

Do you have a specific comparision requirements? like particular feature compared b/w these two or generic comparision.
