The short version

  • Only Census has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Census census was folded into Fivetran Activations, per the vendor: "Previously, this was called a sync in Census", and its own pricing page redirects to Fivetran pricing rather than showing Census plans; GanttPRO workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • They diverge on capability: Census covers Reverse ETL, GanttPRO covers Gantt charts.
