The short version

  • Only Databox has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Databox data sources are the billing unit, and the $159 Pro plan still includes only 3 before charging $5.60 for each additional one; Celonis no pricing is published anywhere on the site; the only path to a quote is a Contact Us sales form requiring company details, with no self-serve signup or published starting price
