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; Monday Sales CRM every CRM plan carries a 3 seat minimum, so a solo user or a pair still pay for three
  • They diverge on capability: Census covers Reverse ETL, Monday Sales CRM covers Deal management.
