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

Couchbase

  • The free tier is a single node with 8 GB of storage and forum support only
  • Node rates are hourly and quoted as starting figures, from $0.15 an hour on Basic to $0.49 on Enterprise
  • The Developer Pro and Enterprise plans require 3 nodes, so the hourly rate multiplies before any usage
  • Backup storage is billed separately at $0.07 per GB a month, and analytics backups at $0.14
  • Support response time is a plan feature, at 8 hours on Developer Pro against 30 minutes on Enterprise
  • AI and analytics run as separately priced planes at up to $0.86 an hour per node
