Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Celigo
- Prices are not published on any of the three editions
- Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
- API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
- Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
- Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only
Zapier
- The free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
- Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks and the formatter all require a paid plan
- Premium app connectors are withheld from the free plan
- Free Zaps poll for new data every 15 minutes against 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team
- Paying monthly rather than annually costs 50 percent more, so the 2,000-task Professional plan is $73.50 a month instead of $49
