Celigo vs Tray.ai (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Celigo if

• Fits if you move data between NetSuite, Salesforce and similar business systems
• Works for teams that want a 30-day trial before talking to sales

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is shown
• Tight if you pick Standard: SSO, API Builder and a sandbox are not in it
• Watch out: the trial is the only self-serve way in
• Not for you if you only need a quick two-app link, as it is built for larger setups

Pick Tray.ai if

• Fits if you join many business systems and want agents on them
• Makes sense if you want a card-free trial to measure your own usage

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if usage grows, as past the plan it is $1.00 per compute unit at list
• Not for you if you want iPaaS prices, because a quote is built from expected Task usage
• Watch out: the agent builder and MCP gateway are add-ons, not in the base plans
• Watch out: on Team, HIPAA, SSO and regional hosting are add-ons

Celigo

• Prices are not published; each edition has a Get pricing button and the page says price depends on edition and usage.
• The 30-day free trial is the only self-serve way in.
• SSO, API Builder and a sandbox are not in the Standard edition.

Tray.ai

• The iPaaS plans have no published prices; a quote is built from expected Task usage, and usage above the plan is settled at a true-up.
• Merlin Agent Builder and Agent Gateway for MCP are add-ons, not included in the base plans.
• On Team, HIPAA, SSO, regional hosting and on-premise connectivity are add-ons; Enterprise includes them.
• Helix usage beyond the plan is billed at $1.00 per HCU at list.
