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; Kaseya VSA no pricing information is published on the product page; the only route to cost is requesting a demo, per kaseya.com, August 2026
