The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Kintone priced at $24 per user/month with a minimum of 5 users ($120/month floor), so it is not accessible below that spend even for a solo user; Paragon no price is published for either plan, and both require a quote

Where each one falls short

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

Kintone

  • Priced at $24 per user/month with a minimum of 5 users ($120/month floor), so it is not accessible below that spend even for a solo user
  • Each app is capped at 300 records and the account is capped at 50,000 API calls daily, with 5GB storage per user, which constrains larger data-heavy deployments

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
