The short version

  • Only Hevo Data has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hevo Data billed on events ingested rather than on connectors or seats, so the bill tracks how chatty the sources are; Paragon no price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
  • They diverge on capability: Hevo Data covers No-code pipeline builder, Paragon covers Embedded workflows.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hevo Data

  • Billed on events ingested rather than on connectors or seats, so the bill tracks how chatty the sources are
  • The free plan allows 1M events a month and the Starter plan starts at $265 a month billed annually
  • Event volume is a priced tier inside each plan, at 5M, 20M or 50M on Starter
  • Usage above the plan quota is charged as on demand on top of the subscription, and the overage rate is not published anywhere on the pricing page
  • Paying monthly rather than annually raises Starter from $265 to $299

Paragon

  • No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
  • Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
  • SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
