Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Merge: What is a Linked Account in Merge?

A Linked Account represents an end customer's authenticated connection to a third-party application (like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zendesk). Merge pricing is based on the number of production Linked Accounts your end users activate.

Supermetrics: How much does Supermetrics cost?

Supermetrics offers three subscription plans: Starter at EUR 49 per month, Growth at EUR 199 per month, and Pro at EUR 499 per month. Annual billing provides a 20% discount. Enterprise plans require a custom quote.

Source
Merge: Can I access custom data not in Merge's universal schema?

No. Merge works well for standardized integrations but hits limits with enterprise customers. You cannot access data outside Merge's universal schema, cannot customize integration behavior for specific customers, and cannot pull deeply custom data from source systems.

Source
Supermetrics: Can I add extra users or data sources to my Supermetrics plan?

Yes, additional features are available for all plans. Additional users cost EUR 29 to EUR 124 per month depending on plan tier, and additional data sources cost EUR 29 to EUR 37 per month. Additional destinations and ad accounts also carry separate monthly fees.

Source
Merge: What happens if I switch away from Merge?

Merge holds your customers' OAuth tokens. Switching providers means asking every customer to re-authenticate, resulting in potential customer churn and unhappy users.

Merge: Does Merge work with legacy systems?

No. Merge only works if there's an API. Legacy ERPs, government portals, insurance carriers, and older enterprise systems that customers depend on often don't have APIs, making Merge unable to support these integrations.
