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; Pipefy free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users
