Costs to watch before you commit
- Usage/task overages drive cost up sharply at volume.
- Premium connectors (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) are commonly extra-cost.
- On-Premise Agents and added concurrency are separately purchased add-ons.
- Opaque quote-based annual/multi-year lock-in, and a legacy pre-2024 pricing cohort complicates comparisons.
