Where each one falls short

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

Lytics

  • Billed in credits where one credit is an update to a user profile, so the bill tracks how often profiles change rather than how many exist
  • Most inbound events consume a full credit each, and Cloud Connect sync events consume half a credit per updated row
  • The free Developer tier is capped at 2M monthly credits and 10 domains
  • The Growth plan is $500 a month for 5M credits, with additional credits at $500 per 10M
  • Enterprise begins above 10M credits and is quoted rather than published

Celigo

  • Prices are not published on any of the three editions
  • Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
  • API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
  • Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
  • Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only
