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

Polytomic

  • Pricing begins at $500 a month on the Standard plan
  • Neither plan publishes a full rate, sync limit or row allowance, and both direct buyers to book a call
  • SSO, on premise deployment and phone support are Enterprise only
