"Our iPaaS system was time-intensive and expensive. From the minute we started talking to Census, I realized it was exactly what we needed. With Census, I could stop doing all this extra legwork and just get the results I wanted. We've saved tens of thousands of dollars."

Matt Nicosia Director of Growth @ Crossbeam

Tired of hacking together CSVs and APIs?...

“Before Census, I’d always had the problem of getting any sort of data into software tools. Classic ‘if this then that’ tools like Tray, Workato and Zapier are not geared well towards this type of data transfer. I was always looking for cheap tricks or hacks and they never fit the bill.”

Benjamin Lewinsky Director of Sales Operations

...Try a better way. Get Census.

“After months of not being able to pull in data, I was able to pull in an entire engagement section and statistics from our application into Salesforce in less than an hour.”

James McArthur Director, Revenue Planning & Operations

Why customers choose Census over Boomi

Pricing View Plans

Census

Boomi

Pricing based on use case

Usage-based pricing that's flexible for multiple use cases and scalable for growing organizations.

Pay-per-workflow: quickly becomes unmanageable for high-growth organizations.

Low maintenance costs

Census has 99.7% uptime and we alert you of any data errors. Centralized data integration is easy to maintain, manage, and troubleshoot.

With multiple APIs, webhooks, maintenance, and fixing time, the total operational cost of managing a point-to-point infrastructure is unsustainable.

Data Activation Audience Hub

Visual Segment Builder

Marketing teams can easily build audiences on top of the data warehouse and sync them to all their ads and marketing tools – No CSV uploads or SQL required.

No centralized segment builder

Observability Sync with Confidence

Warehouse-centric observability

Census provides a set of warehouse-centric observability tools that ensure data quality for all your pipelines.

None

Workflow visibility

Full transparency and visibility into what data is delivered, where, and when. Data is never secretly overwritten or rejected.

No warehouse functionality

Custom alerting

Configurable alerts for failed syncs, invalid source records, or records rejected by the destination.

Error overload, not helpful for troubleshooting
