Etlworks vs. Celigo
Enterprise Integration Beyond SaaS and API Automation
Side-by-side comparison
Comparing Two Platforms for API, ETL, and B2B Integration
Celigo promotes itself as a top SaaS integration platform with strong focus on API management and B2B/EDI workflows. Etlworks covers those areas too — and goes further, offering broader data movement, hybrid deployment, real-time streaming, advanced transformations, and predictable pricing without limits tied to endpoints, flows, or usage.
Difference
Why Etlworks Stands Out
Broader Platform Coverage Beyond SaaS
Celigo excels at SaaS-to-SaaS automation. Etlworks goes further — supporting SaaS, APIs, databases, big data, message brokers, IoT brokers, files, and on-premise systems within the same platform.
Full-Scale Transformations for Complex Workflows
While Celigo offers simple mappings and JavaScript rules, Etlworks supports complex transformations using SQL, Python, JavaScript, metadata-driven mapping, XLS scripting, and more — ideal for building enterprise-grade pipelines.
Predictable Pricing Without Endpoint Limits
Celigo’s pricing model ties to endpoints and flows, which can increase as projects scale. Etlworks offers fixed, transparent pricing — allowing unlimited connectors and workflows without unexpected fees.
Hybrid Deployment and Streaming Support
Etlworks supports real-time streaming, queue integration, IoT brokers, and hybrid cloud/on-premise architectures. Celigo mainly focuses on cloud app-to-cloud app integrations.
Beyond SaaS Automation — Enterprise-Ready Integration at Scale
Celigo is a strong choice for SaaS-focused, API-driven automation and B2B workflows. But if you need broader platform coverage, deeper transformations, flexible deployment options, and scalable pricing, Etlworks is the better choice.
