The main difference between transaction and continuous profiling mode is when the profiler is started and stopped. In transaction-based profiling, the profiler is started and stopped based on transactions. In continuous profiling, the profiler is started and stopped by the developer.

The main difference between transaction-based and continuous profiling is when the profiler runs. Transaction-based profiling starts and stops with every transaction, while continuous profiling runs continuously, but can be manually started and stopped.

In continuous profiling mode, the profiler keeps running, which mean you can gain visibility into the parts of your application that you havent instrumented. This is especially useful if your instrumentation is incomplete, however it can also mean that if your application is idling for long periods of time, the profiling data you send and get billed for, might not be very useful.

Continuous profiling can give you visibility into parts of your application that you haven't instrumented. This is especially useful if your instrumentation is incomplete. However, it may also capture idle time, resulting in data that's potentially less valuable.

On the flip side, if you want to profile a high throughput server with little or no idle time, continuous profiling mode will help you reduce costs, as the profiler will not upload duplicated profiling data from overlapping transactions.
