Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Boomi

  • Most pricing requires contacting sales; no transparent plan costs published
  • Free trial is 30 days but requires sign-up
  • Base plan limited to one environment and two users

Fivetran

  • Billed on monthly active rows, so the bill tracks how much source data changes rather than how much is stored or queried
  • Each connection follows its own cost curve, so total spend is hard to predict before running a pipeline
  • The free plan allows 500,000 monthly active rows, 3,500 activation rows and 5,000 model runs
  • Transformations are metered separately, from $0.01 per model run above 5,000 down to $0.002 above 100,000
  • A schema change upstream that touches many rows raises the bill without any change on the customer's side
