"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’ve 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 Celigo

Pricing View Plans

Census

Celigo

Pricing based on use case

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

Paying per endpoint and flow quickly becomes unmanageable for high-growth organizations with larger volumes of data.

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 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.

Dozens of workflows dependent on one another with no workflow visibility. When one connection breaks, error handling and debugging are difficult.

Sync Logs in the warehouse

Census stores detailed logs of every data point in your data warehouse so you can query them with SQL or BI tools. No extra tools needed.

No logging and no ability to analyze errors

Custom alerting

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

Error overload, not helpful for troubleshooting

Data Engineering Data Team Features

Sync Management API

Programmatically create, trigger, edit, and delete syncs, models, and connections.

No functionality

Native dbt integration

Connect to any existing dbt project. You can configure Census to automatically run syncs whenever your dbtCloud models have been rebuilt. Census will run tests and alert you if new dbt changes will adversely affect Census syncs.

No functionality

Looker integration

Use Looker Looks directly as models in Census to reuse existing business logic and sync to downstream apps to drive action.

No functionality

Support

White Glove Onboarding

Our Customer Data Architects aren’t your average support team. All of them used to be Heads of Data, and now you can have their data expertise on-demand in a shared Slack channel.

Basic support

Dedicated Customer Success Manager

A dedicated CSM to help you set up and troubleshoot any issues. We're with you every step of the way.

Not available

Security Secure by default

Data stays in the warehouse by default

Your data is 100% safe in the best storage option: the data warehouse. We don't store any of your data and we minimize the number of credentials needed.

Multiple APIs and login credentials mean more opportunity for security breaches.

Data Governance (role-based access control)

4 different levels of permissions, with a unique Operator role that only creates and manages segments and syncs on approved data models.

Impossible to maintain compliance and consistent access control lists when your data is spread across multiple different apps.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Census supports enterprise-grade SAML 2.0 SSO, which makes signing in with your existing identity provider easy.

No functionality

EU Data Hosting

You can choose to use our EU server to keep all your data within the EU throughout the duration of a Census sync.
