Limits worth knowing in Informatica
- No prices or plan list are published; pricing is consumption-based in IPUs and sold through sales.
- The pricing page does not say whether a free trial or free tier exists, though the site has a 'Free Cloud Data Integration' link.
- IPU use is measured per service, based on its own measure, so cost depends on which services run and how heavily.
