Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Boomi
- Subscription tier prices are not published; only the pay-as-you-go base of $99 a month plus usage is stated
- Metered on several axes at once, including connections, users, environments and API transactions, so the bill is hard to predict from any one of them
- Connection counts, environments and user seats are all capped by edition
Automate.io
- No longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down
- Existing automations were not portable to Notion, so users had to rebuild elsewhere
