Census publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to On request for Enterprise. The entry tier costs nothing.

What is the difference between Free and Standard on Census?

Standard costs On request against Free, and adds usage-based pricing for connections, transformations, activations.

Which automation integration tools can I use without paying?

4 of the 8 automation integration tools listed alongside Census have a free tier: jBPM, Nango, Meltano, Decodable.

What am I actually paying for with Census?

The record lists 17 features across 6 areas: other, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for syncing customer data from a warehouse into marketing and sales tools (reverse etl).

Does Census charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Census prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

Census pricing

Census publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 30 August 2026, Census pricing is free across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Usage-based
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Census plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Census pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	3	Entry tier
Standard	On request	1	Priced on request
Enterprise	On request	2	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Free

How that compares in Automation Integration

Too few automation integration tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Census entry price against other Automation Integration tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Census (this page)	Free	usage-based	-
HighByte Intelligence Hub	$18500/year	Per site per year	-	vs Census
Cyclr	$1595/month	Per month by API call volume	-	vs Census
jBPM	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Census
Alloy Automation	On request	quote	-	vs Census
Nango	Free, then $50/month	Per connection per month	-	vs Census
Meltano	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Census

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Census badges page.

Before you pay for Census

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Census runs on web, api, and is published by Census of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Census review, and the rest of the category is under best automation integration tools.
