The short version

  • 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; Krisp accent conversion is metered daily rather than monthly, at 1 hour a day on Core and 4 on Advanced
  • They diverge on capability: Census covers Reverse ETL, Krisp covers AI noise cancellation.
