The short version

  • Only Strapi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Boomi subscription tier prices are not published; only the pay-as-you-go base of $99 a month plus usage is stated; Strapi cloud pricing is per project, not per account, so a second project doubles the bill
  • They diverge on capability: Boomi covers Cloud integration, Strapi covers REST API.

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

Strapi

  • Cloud pricing is per project, not per account, so a second project doubles the bill
  • Starter at $35 a month allows 100,000 API requests, and overage is $1.50 per 25,000
  • Extra bandwidth is $30 per 100 GB and extra asset storage $0.60 per GB
  • Backups start at the Pro plan, weekly, and only become daily at Business
  • An uptime SLA is Business only, at $450 a month per project
  • Additional environments cost $60 a month on Pro and $300 a month on Business
