Where each one falls short

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

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

Dify

  • The free Sandbox plan includes only 200 message credits total and one team member; the $590 per year Professional plan raises that to 5,000 message credits per month, as of August 2026.
