The short version

  • Only Automate.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Tealium tealium's historical Tag Management pricing was tiered by monthly visit volume rather than by feature set alone: Bronze was $149/month capped at 20,000 visits, Silver $249/month capped at 40,000 visits, and Gold $449/month capped at 75,000 visits, so cost scaled with traffic even before adding users or tags (archived pricing page, 14 March 2015); Automate.io no longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down
  • They diverge on capability: Tealium covers Data collection, Automate.io covers Multi-step automations.
