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

Hightouch

  • The free tier allows only 2 active syncs, though destinations and user seats are unlimited
  • Neither paid product publishes a price, and both are described as usage based without stating the unit or the rate
  • Monthly active row thresholds and feature gates are not listed, so cost cannot be estimated before contacting sales
