European Integration Platform (iPaaS) Tools

An integration platform sits between your ERP, CRM, webshop and payment systems and sees every record that passes between them. These European vendors cover enterprise integration, embedded integration for software products and self-hosted workflow engines, so the layer that carries your business data can sit with a contracting entity inside Europe.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Alumio, a Dutch iPaaS for ERP, PIM and webshop projects, states a starting price of EUR 499 per month for Connect Lite and holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
  • Frends, a Finnish enterprise platform, uses an on-premises agent so cloud processes can reach systems that sit behind the firewall.
  • n8n GmbH in Berlin lets you run the whole workflow engine on your own servers, so credentials never leave your infrastructure.
  • SEEBURGER combines B2B/EDI, managed file transfer and iPaaS on one platform, and states more than 14,000 customers.
  • Magic xpi comes from Israel and Sesam from Norway, so a policy that says EU only would exclude both while EU, EEA, UK, Swiss or Israeli would admit them.

A European integration platform (iPaaS) is a hosted or self-run service that connects ERP, CRM, webshop and payment systems and moves their records between them, supplied by a firm in the EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland or Israel; that is important since the platform keeps a credential for every system it connects and sees each record in transit.

Every European integration platforms (iPaaS) tool reviewed

#1 Alumio

Groningen, Netherlands Founded 2016 Connect Lite from EUR 499 each month; Connect Core priced to scope No free tier or trial published

Best for: Commerce and ERP integration projects that want a stated price, three environments and a service level

  • Operating company. Alumio B.V.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
  • Where the data sits. EU-hosted by default on AWS; further AWS regions on request
  • Independent checks. ISO/IEC 27001:2022
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Zapier, Make, Celigo, Boomi

Alumio is a Dutch integration platform aimed at the layer between ERP, PIM, warehouse and webshop systems. The plan descriptions assume sandbox and production environments, monitoring with logging and alerts, and an audit trail of changes on the higher tier. A project with a go-live date is the expected buyer, which sets it apart from the desk-level automation tools in this list.

Alumio B.V. is based in Groningen, was founded in 2016, and has offices in Hamburg, London and Stockholm. Its terms are under Dutch law and it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Connect Lite begins at EUR 499 per month, while Connect Core is scoped per project and adds a 99.9% SLA, dedicated environments and role-based access control. Hosting is EU by default on AWS, with other AWS regions on request, so a US cloud provider remains a sub-processor.

What Alumio does well

  • Published starting price of EUR 499 per month
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate
  • Sandbox, UAT and production environments, 99.9% SLA on Connect Core
  • Logging, alerts and a full audit trail of changes
  • Dutch company under Dutch law, EU hosting by default

Where Alumio falls short

  • Infrastructure is AWS, so a US provider sits beneath a Dutch vendor
  • No free tier and no published trial
  • Connect Core cost depends on a sales conversation
  • Cloud service only, with no self-hosting
  • More than a small team needs for simple app-to-app flows

Standout feature. Alumio is the one iPaaS in this list that opens with a stated monthly price and a staged environment model for ERP and webshop projects.

#2 Frends

Finland Founded 1988 Four tiers (Growth, Business, Enterprise, Enterprise Infinity), each quoted individually No free tier or trial published

Best for: Nordic and other large organisations connecting cloud services to systems that cannot be exposed to the internet

  • Operating company. Frends Technology Oy
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Finland)
  • Where the data sits. Azure region chosen by the customer; the vendor states its own processing happens in Ireland
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato, enterprise-scale Zapier

Frends is a Finnish enterprise iPaaS whose design assumes a hybrid estate. A small agent installed inside your network talks outward to the cloud control plane over TLS, which is how flows reach older systems that will never be reachable from the internet. The product also includes long-running BPMN-style processes, a visual data mapper and CI/CD pipelines, and lists an API management add-on.

The company, Frends Technology Oy, traces its origins to 1988 and became a standalone iPaaS in 2022 after being owned by the Swedish consultancy HiQ from 2010. Contracts run under Finnish law with arbitration in Helsinki, and the vendor states that its own processing takes place in Ireland. On the Enterprise plan the customer chooses an Azure region. Four tiers, from Growth to Enterprise Infinity, are all quoted on request, and no certification is published.

What Frends does well

  • Agent behind the firewall reaches systems that stay off the internet
  • Long-running processes and an API management add-on in the same platform
  • Azure region chosen by the customer on the Enterprise plan
  • Finnish law and arbitration in Helsinki
  • Built-in CI/CD pipelines and visual data mapper

Where Frends falls short

  • Runs on Microsoft Azure, so a US provider sits beneath a Finnish vendor
  • Every tier is quoted on request and no free trial exists
  • No security certification published on the pages checked
  • Too much machinery for a team automating a few apps

Standout feature. Frends is built for estates where part of the landscape stays permanently behind the firewall, and its on-premises agent is the mechanism that makes that workable.

#3 n8n

Berlin, Germany Founded 2019 Community Edition free when self-hosted; Cloud from about EUR 24 each month; Enterprise priced individually Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: Technical teams that want workflows and credentials to stay on servers they control

  • Operating company. n8n GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Your own servers, or the EU cloud
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Zapier, Make, Workato, Tray.io

n8n is a workflow engine with a visual node editor, code nodes in JavaScript and Python, and AI agent nodes, built by n8n GmbH in Berlin. The whole engine can be installed on your own servers, which means the credentials for every connected system remain in your environment. The vendor also sells a managed cloud on Microsoft Azure in the EU, with Frankfurt named on its pricing FAQ.

n8n was founded in 2019. The Community Edition is free for internal use, and the code is under the Sustainable Use Licence, so it is source-available, not open source in the classic sense, and you may not resell it as a hosted service.

Cloud plans start from about EUR 24 per month, billed per execution, and self-hosted Business and Enterprise plans are available. It is a general automation tool, so API governance and a vendor-run operations team are not part of the offer.

What n8n does well

  • Self-hosting is free and has no task limits
  • Code nodes in JavaScript and Python inside the editor
  • Native AI agent and LangChain nodes
  • Per-execution billing in the cloud
  • Berlin-based company under EU law

Where n8n falls short

  • Self-hosting needs real operations effort
  • Takes longer to learn than Zapier
  • The Sustainable Use Licence is not classic open source

Standout feature. n8n is the only tool in this list you can put into production at no licence cost on your own server.

#4 Cyclr

Croydon, United Kingdom Founded 2013 Native embedded iPaaS from $1,595 each month pay-as-you-go, $2,595 Growth, $7,195 Scale No self-serve trial; a scoped proof of concept with training instead

Best for: SaaS vendors that need a branded integrations marketplace inside their own product

  • Operating company. Cyclr Systems Limited
  • Jurisdiction. UK
  • Where the data sits. AWS, with UK, EU or US hosting selectable; managed private cloud on enterprise plans
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Workato Embedded, Tray Embedded, Paragon

Cyclr is an embedded iPaaS, which means the buyer is a software company and the users are that company's customers. They connect your product to their CRM, accounting package or help desk from within your interface, using Cyclr's 600+ connectors, multi-tenant accounts and private deployment options. As a replacement for an internal ERP integration it is the wrong shape.

Cyclr Systems Limited is a British company in Croydon, established in 2013, and its terms fall under the laws of England and Wales.

It publishes prices: the native embedded product is $1,595 per month pay-as-you-go, $2,595 for Growth and $7,195 for Scale, with service-embedded and MCP products priced separately. Hosting runs on AWS with UK, EU or US selectable, and enterprise plans can be self-hosted or run in a managed private cloud. There is no self-serve trial, only a scoped proof of concept.

What Cyclr does well

  • Built to embed integrations in your own product with your branding
  • Prices are published, which embedded competitors rarely do
  • UK, EU or US hosting selectable, with private cloud on enterprise plans
  • Custom connector toolkit for APIs outside the catalogue
  • British company under English law, established 2013

Where Cyclr falls short

  • AWS infrastructure, so a US provider sits beneath a British vendor
  • Pricing starts at $1,495 a month, out of proportion for internal automation
  • No self-serve trial; a proof of concept comes first
  • UK jurisdiction rather than EU may matter for some procurement rules

Standout feature. Cyclr is the product on this list sold to product teams, with the end users of its flows being someone else's customers.

#5 elastic.io

Bonn, Germany Founded 2013 Quoted per deployment and volume 14-day free trial

Best for: Software vendors embedding integrations, and teams that want to trial a German iPaaS first

  • Operating company. elastic.io GmbH (Ceyoniq/Kyocera group)
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Germany/EU, or your own infrastructure
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Workato Embedded, Tray Embedded, in-house integration code

elastic.io is a German integration platform with 250+ connectors that supports flows between cloud services and on-premises systems. It has an embedded option in which a software vendor offers integrations under its own brand, and the connector SDK is open source, so your developers can write connectors for systems the standard catalogue lacks.

elastic.io GmbH is part of the Ceyoniq group within Kyocera Document Solutions and was founded in 2013. On-premise and private cloud deployment are supported, which the tool page notes is often decisive in German public sector, healthcare and banking sales. A 14-day free trial is offered. The vendor's price calculator is rendered in the browser, so no figures were verified, and the hosting region was not confirmed.

What elastic.io does well

  • White-label use inside your own product
  • On-premise and private cloud deployment
  • Connector SDK published as open source
  • Customer isolation designed into the platform
  • German company with German hosting options

Where elastic.io falls short

  • Relevant mainly to software vendors
  • Quoted pricing and a longer sales cycle
  • Fewer connectors than the global iPaaS vendors

Standout feature. elastic.io combines an open-source connector SDK with a white-label route, so a vendor can extend the catalogue itself.

#6 SEEBURGER

Bretten, Germany Founded 1986 Unpublished; quoted per deployment and volume through sales Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: Enterprises whose partner traffic is mostly EDI documents and file transfers

  • Operating company. SEEBURGER AG
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. German/EU cloud, hybrid or on-premises
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. SPS Commerce, OpenText B2B Integration, TIE Kinetix

SEEBURGER is a Bretten-based platform that puts B2B/EDI, managed file transfer, API integration and iPaaS in one product. Its strength is translating business documents between formats such as EDIFACT and X12, including AI-assisted mapping, where a single malformed purchase order can halt a supply chain. Most workflow tools in this list do not attempt that depth.

SEEBURGER AG was founded in 1986 and states more than 14,000 customers, a vendor claim. It can be deployed in a German or EU cloud, hybrid or on-premises, and its iPaaS is listed as running on AWS. No prices are published, the sale goes through sales, and the interface is aimed at IT departments rather than business users, so simple app-to-app automation would be oversized.

What SEEBURGER does well

  • Purpose-built EDI and B2B translation rather than an add-on module
  • Cloud, on-premises or fully managed deployment
  • About 40 years of integration experience, 14,000+ customers stated by the vendor
  • German company under EU law
  • Handles high-stakes document exchange that no-code tools avoid

Where SEEBURGER falls short

  • No price published anywhere on the site
  • Enterprise sales process, not a self-serve product
  • Too heavy for simple app-to-app automation
  • Onboarding aimed at IT departments, not business users

Standout feature. SEEBURGER is the one platform here designed from the start for exchanging business documents between companies.

#7 Magic xpi

Or Yehuda, Israel Quoted on request Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: Mid-size and large organisations with SAP, JD Edwards or Dynamics 365 landscapes

  • Operating company. Magic Software Enterprises Ltd.
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Wherever you deploy it: cloud, on-premises or hybrid
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. MuleSoft Anypoint, Boomi

Magic xpi is the integration engine of Magic Software Enterprises Ltd., with flows designed code-free and custom code allowed where the wizards stop. The product has a visual data mapper, 100+ certified connectors, a web dashboard with monitoring and alerts, and a REST-scripted Cloud Manager. Deployment is on-premises, in the cloud, hybrid or Kubernetes-based cloud native.

The vendor is in Or Yehuda, Israel; its website terms name Tel Aviv courts and Israeli law. Israel counts as European for this directory, though it sits outside the EU and EEA. Magic does not publish prices, and its connector catalogue is smaller than that of SaaS-first tools such as Cyclr. The emphasis on ERP landscapes makes it heavier than n8n for lightweight automation.

What Magic xpi does well

  • Cloud, on-premises and hybrid deployment
  • Code-free design with custom code where needed
  • 100+ certified pre-built connectors
  • Monitoring and alerts in a web dashboard
  • Kubernetes-based option with REST-scripted deployment

Where Magic xpi falls short

  • Prices are only available on request
  • Connector catalogue smaller than SaaS-first platforms
  • ERP orientation is heavy for simple automations
  • The vendor is in Israel, outside the EU

Standout feature. Magic xpi is the ERP-oriented engine on this list that you can run on Kubernetes under your own control.

#8 Tines

Dublin, Ireland Founded 2018 Free tier (3 live workflows, unlimited users); paid plans quoted individually Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: Security and IT operations teams that want auditable no-code automation with a free start

  • Operating company. Tines Limited
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Ireland)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Splunk SOAR, Swimlane, Zapier

Tines is a workflow builder drawn as a directed graph of actions, which suits incident response where an alert may close itself or escalate. It lists unlimited connectors and the option to bring your own AI model, and it came from security operators. For ERP master data or partner documents it is not the intended tool.

Tines Limited is based in Dublin and was founded in 2018. Its terms apply an Irish entity to customers domiciled outside North America and a US Delaware entity to North America, and the text uses different entity labels in places, so confirm which one signs your contract. A free tier gives 3 live workflows and unlimited users, SOC 2 Type II is stated, and paid plans are quoted on request.

What Tines does well

  • Graph-based builder fits how incident response branches
  • Free tier with unlimited users and 3 live workflows
  • SOC 2 Type II stated, audited yearly
  • Irish entity for customers outside North America
  • Designed for security and IT operations

Where Tines falls short

  • No prices published beyond the free tier
  • Narrower general-business connector catalogue than n8n
  • Aimed at security and IT work more than sales or marketing

Standout feature. Tines is the only integration tool on this list that was designed first for security incident-response branching.

#9 Sesam

Norway See the vendor website Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: Organisations that need one data hub keeping master data aligned across many systems

  • Operating company. Sesam.io AS (merged into Bouvet from 1 January 2025)
  • Jurisdiction. EEA, not EU (Norway)
  • Where the data sits. Hosting region left unmentioned on the reviewed pages
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. MuleSoft Anypoint, point-to-point integrations

Sesam takes a different route from the flow builders in this category. Its Sesam Hub stores a copy of the data from each connected system and synchronises it in both directions, so a change in one place reaches the others without a custom link between each pair. The connected systems themselves stay untouched, and the vendor publishes a documentation portal.

The company, Sesam.io AS, has organisation number 922 409 676 and is Norwegian, which places it in the EEA but outside the EU. Its about page states that it merged into its long-standing parent Bouvet on 1 January 2025, so the product now sits in a consultancy group. Pricing, hosting region and connector counts are not visible on the pages checked, and the hub design copies data into a central store, which has its own data protection implications.

What Sesam does well

  • Two-way synchronisation between connected systems
  • No changes needed in the connected systems
  • Norwegian vendor inside the EEA
  • Public documentation portal
  • Trial route shown on the homepage

Where Sesam falls short

  • No pricing published
  • Little public detail on hosting and connectors
  • Ownership changed with the 2025 merger into Bouvet
  • The hub model suits event-driven automation less well

Standout feature. Sesam treats integration as keeping data consistent in a central hub, where every other tool here passes messages between systems.

#10 ONEiO

Helsinki, Finland Unpublished; the vendor describes a single price for platform, operations and experts Walkthrough booked through sales

Best for: IT service providers and IT departments whose ticketing and monitoring integrations must keep running

  • Operating company. ONEiO Cloud Oy
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Finland)
  • Where the data sits. Hosting region left unmentioned on the reviewed pages
  • Independent checks. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (since 2022)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. MuleSoft Anypoint, integration work bought from system integrators

ONEiO sells an outcome and not a toolbox. The vendor describes a managed integration service in which it plans, builds, monitors and operates the integrations on its own Integration Ops platform, with 24/7 operations. Its published integration list is weighted to service management: ServiceNow, Jira, Freshservice, Topdesk and BMC Remedy, plus Salesforce and Slack, and the vendor says any system with an API can be connected.

ONEiO Cloud Oy is based in Helsinki, with a German subsidiary, ONEiO Cloud GmbH, in the imprint. Its security page states GDPR compliance and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification held since 2022. The vendor says one price covers platform, operations and experts, but no figure is published, and the hosting region was not stated. Because the service is operated for you, you give up some control over how flows are built.

What ONEiO does well

  • Finnish vendor with a German subsidiary
  • Vendor runs the full lifecycle of each integration
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 since 2022
  • Long list of named ITSM integrations
  • Any system with an API can be integrated, according to the vendor

Where ONEiO falls short

  • No pricing published
  • Catalogue centred on IT service management
  • Less control than with a platform you operate
  • Hosting region not stated on the pages checked

Standout feature. ONEiO is the one vendor here whose contract covers the monitoring and on-call work as well as the software.

Which of the ten European integration platforms suits me?

Begin with the job, because the ten products solve four different problems. Alumio, Frends, Magic xpi and SEEBURGER connect business systems inside one company or between trading partners. Cyclr and elastic.io let a software vendor offer integrations to its own customers. n8n and Tines are workflow builders for technical and security teams. Sesam keeps master data aligned, and ONEiO runs integrations as a managed service.

Then narrow by who will operate it. If you have engineers and want control, n8n or Magic xpi can run on infrastructure you manage. If you prefer a vendor-operated service, Alumio, Frends and ONEiO take on more of the work. A product team shipping integrations to end users should compare Cyclr and elastic.io before looking at anything else.

What do these platforms cost, and who shows a price?

Published figures are scarce. Alumio states EUR 499 per month for Connect Lite and scopes Connect Core to the project. Cyclr lists $1,595 per month pay-as-you-go, $2,595 for Growth and $7,195 for Scale. n8n runs free as a self-hosted Community Edition, with its cloud from about EUR 24 per month. Tines has a free tier with 3 live workflows.

Frends, SEEBURGER, Magic xpi, elastic.io, Sesam and ONEiO ask you to request a price. Treat a quote as a three-year figure: for a self-hosted tool, add servers, upgrades and monitoring time; for ONEiO, the vendor says one price covers the platform, the operations and the experts, so there is less to add.

Is a European contracting entity enough to settle jurisdiction?

It solves the contract question but not necessarily the infrastructure question. Alumio is a Dutch company, yet its hosting is on AWS. Frends is Finnish and runs on Microsoft Azure in a region the customer picks. Cyclr is British and offers UK, EU or US hosting on AWS. SEEBURGER lists its iPaaS as running on AWS. The contracting party sits in Europe in each case, while a US provider supplies the servers.

For the strictest requirement, look at the tools you can host yourself: n8n and Magic xpi, and Cyclr on its self-hosted enterprise plan. Ask every vendor in writing which sub-processors store or process your payload, because three of the ten do not state a hosting region on the pages checked: elastic.io, Sesam and ONEiO.

What does a move away from MuleSoft, Boomi or Workato look like?

Treat it as a rebuild with a parallel run. Inventory every flow, the systems each one touches, its schedule and its error handling. Then map each flow to a candidate: ERP and webshop flows to Alumio or Frends, partner document exchange to SEEBURGER, lightweight automations to n8n. Magic xpi lists MuleSoft Anypoint and Boomi as the products it replaces, and Frends names MuleSoft and Boomi in the same way.

Run the new platform on one flow while the old one carries the rest, compare daily record counts, and cut over flow by flow. MuleSoft packages are billed annually, so the date your term ends decides how long you pay twice. Budget time for retraining and for rebuilding monitoring and alerting.

In what situation should I skip a European iPaaS?

Stay where you are if you rely on capabilities the European tools do not replicate. MuleSoft, for example, sells API management, document processing and agent governance under one credit pool, and only Frends of the ten lists an API management add-on. A migration also makes little sense inside a contract term you cannot exit, or when the rebuild costs more than the compliance gain.

It is also wrong to switch for a use that is too small. If a handful of automations between SaaS tools is all you run, an enterprise product like Frends or SEEBURGER adds sales cycles without benefit, and n8n or Tines is the proportionate choice.

Can any of them be installed on my own servers?

n8n publishes a self-hosted Community Edition and sells self-hosted Business and Enterprise plans, under the Sustainable Use Licence rather than a classic open source licence. Magic xpi can be deployed on-premises or on Kubernetes. Cyclr offers a self-hosted enterprise plan inside your own AWS or Azure account, and elastic.io lists on-premise and private cloud deployment.

Alumio, Sesam and ONEiO are operated for you. Frends is a vendor-run platform, but its agent sits inside your network to reach internal systems. Self-hosting trades the vendor risk for an operations duty, so count the staff hours before you choose it.

How we selected and ranked these 10 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the criterion. Alumio is the most direct match for ERP, PIM and webshop projects and states a EUR 499 monthly entry price. Frends fits large estates with systems behind a firewall, n8n fits teams that want to self-host, and SEEBURGER fits organisations that exchange EDI documents with trading partners. Cyclr and elastic.io are the embedded options for software vendors.

Alumio, Frends and Magic xpi cover application integration for ERP-centred estates, and SEEBURGER covers B2B/EDI. None of them is a full copy of MuleSoft's API management and agent governance, so decide which parts you use before comparing. Frends is the only one of the ten with an API management add-on.

Two have a free entry: n8n offers a Community Edition for self-hosting, and Tines has a free tier limited to 3 live workflows with unlimited users. elastic.io gives a 14-day free trial. The others start with a demo, a quote or a scoped proof of concept.

Cyclr and elastic.io. Cyclr gives your customers multi-tenant accounts and an embedded marketplace, with 600+ connectors, while elastic.io describes a white-label platform with an open-source connector SDK. Alumio also has a multi-entity edition, Spaces, for agencies and vendors.

Alumio states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ONEiO states the same standard since 2022. Tines states SOC 2 Type II. Frends publishes no certification on the pages checked, and the other vendors' claims are on their own sites, so ask for the current certificate before signing.

EP accepts the EU, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and Israel. Sesam is Norwegian, so it is in the EEA but outside the EU, and Magic xpi is Israeli. If your own policy demands EU only, remove those two from the shortlist.
