The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Adalo free plan caps app data at 500 records per app; Census census was folded into Fivetran Activations, per the vendor: "Previously, this was called a sync in Census", and its own pricing page redirects to Fivetran pricing rather than showing Census plans
