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; SAP Concur listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at £0.21 to £9.70 per unit for SAP Concur Travel & Expense Professional Edition, submitted directly by SAP Concur, with the unit and billing period not further defined on the listing
- They diverge on capability: Census covers Reverse ETL, SAP Concur covers Expense management.
