  • Each has a real cost: MuleSoft listed on UK G-Cloud at £6.39 per user per month for the Salesforce MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, via reseller Skyflo Digital Ltd; Tray.io now rebranded Tray.ai; pricing page names three tiers, Pro (3 workspaces, 7 day insights), Team (20 workspaces, 30 day insights) and Enterprise (unlimited workspaces, 180 day insights, SSO, HIPAA), but publishes no figures and requires a demo or sales call for a quote
  • They diverge on capability: MuleSoft covers API Gateway, Tray.io covers Low-code workflow builder.
