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
PlanetScale
- EBS High Availability requires 3-node configuration with replication overhead
- EBS Non-HA single-node option lacks redundancy and automatic failover
- Pricing varies by cloud provider and region, requiring queries for specific rates
- ARM64 architecture only available on EBS tier, not Metal deployments
