Where each one falls short

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

Nintex

  • No pricing, workflow limits or feature comparison is published anywhere on the pricing page
  • The pricing route is a contact form, so evaluating cost requires engaging sales first

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
