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

Homebase

Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
