The edi software price for entry-level plans runs from $0 to $249 a month, and unlike most software categories, this one doesn't settle on a single billing model, some vendors charge a flat monthly fee, one bill per connector plus order fees, and one sells in annual tiers instead of a monthly rate._ A business relies on Electronic Data Interchange software (EDI) to keep purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices moving reliably with its trading partners, and for many retailers, that reliability isn't optional, major retail partners often require it as a condition of doing business. But pricing here varies just as widely as the stakes: some vendors price by flat subscription, one by connector count and order volume, and one still sells in annual licensing tiers rather than a monthly rate. To build a clearer picture, I studied 434 verified reviews across [Capterra's EDI software category](https://www.capterra.com/edi-software/) and looked at current pricing for the 5 best-rated products with vendor-confirmed pricing, cross-checking each one directly against its own site. This article explains what buyers need to know to budget for EDI software. ## Compare EDI software pricing at a glance The table below compares pricing across five top-rated EDI platforms based on publicly available vendor data as of September 2026. Be sure to verify final plan details with vendors before making a purchase decision. Products are listed alphabetically below. | Software | Free Trial | Free Version | Entry Level | Mid Tier | High End | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Boomi](https://www.capterra.com/p/5520/Boomi/) | Yes | No | $99/mo | Custom quote | Custom quote | | [Cargoson](https://www.capterra.com/p/228964/Cargoson/) | Yes | No | $249/mo | $499/mo | $749/mo | | [Celigo Integrator.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/157596/Celigo/) | Yes | Yes\* | $0/mo (Free) | Custom quote | Custom quote | | [ConnectPointz](https://www.capterra.com/p/181545/ConnectPointz/) | No, but free demo | No | $32/mo + fees\*\* | Custom quote\*\*\* | $220,000 one-time + % of sales\*\*\*\* | | [EDI Power Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/179410/EDI-Power-Reader/) | Yes | Not available | $3,175/yr\*\*\*\*\* | $6,295/yr\*\*\*\*\* | $11,550/yr\*\*\*\*\* | _\*Celigo's free plan starts automatically after the 30-day trial ends, capped at 2 endpoints and 1 flow, no expiration._ _\*\*Includes a $165 one-time setup fee per connector, plus $0.44 to $0.85 per order depending on volume._ _\*\*\*Same base fee as Entry, but unlocks premium connectors and volume discounts._ _\*\*\*\*A fully custom, white-labeled deployment, structured differently from ConnectPointz's other two tiers._ _\*\*\*\*\*Billed annually.

To fill in the gap, I went through Capterra's verified reviews over the last two years, from September 2024 to September 2026, for each platform to see how buyers themselves describe living with that pricing over time. [Boomi](https://www.capterra.com/p/5520/Boomi/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty Capterra rating: 4.4/5 (274 reviews) **User review summary:** Reviewers praise the low-code, drag-and-drop interface for building integrations quickly, along with clear visibility into data as it moves between systems. The most cited limitation is cost, several reviewers note pricing climbs as new connections are added, and complex support issues take longer to resolve than expected. **Bottom line:** A fit if ease of building integrations matters more than a fixed monthly bill, and if you budget for cost growth as your connection count expands. [Cargoson](https://www.capterra.com/p/228964/Cargoson/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty Capterra rating: 4.78/5 (32 reviews) **User review summary:** Reviewers highlight fast, real-time price and delivery comparison across carriers, with all transport orders and carrier information centralized in one place. The most cited drawback is that delivery-time estimates don't always match reality. **Bottom line:** A fit for freight and transport-heavy operations juggling multiple carriers, worth confirming delivery-estimate accuracy directly given reviewer feedback on that specific point. [Celigo Integrator.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/157596/Celigo/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty Capterra rating: 4.6/5 (61 reviews) **User review summary:** Reviewers describe a simple, intuitive interface with strong flexibility, and several highlight AI-powered error handling that resolves most sync failures automatically. As a broader integration platform rather than a dedicated EDI tool, reviews focus more on general system-to-system connections than EDI-specific document handling. **Bottom line:** Worth a look if a free entry point matters and EDI is one of several integration needs, not the primary use case. [ConnectPointz](https://www.capterra.com/p/181545/ConnectPointz/) Capterra rating: 4.8/5 (60 reviews) **User review summary:** Reviewers highlight how intuitive the platform is and how well it connects with a wide range of retail partners, with one noting it solved a specific gap between a third-party inventory system and their storefront. The tradeoff is a pricing structure that combines a setup fee, a per-connector charge, and per-order fees, which takes more effort to estimate than a flat subscription. **Bottom line:** An option for retail-focused EDI, provided you're comfortable working through a multi-part fee structure to estimate real monthly cost. [EDI Power Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/179410/EDI-Power-Reader/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty Capterra rating: 4.6/5 (57 reviews) **User review summary:** Reviewers describe it as a fit for its specific purpose, converting EDI documents to Excel, though its narrow focus means it won't cover broader integration needs the way a full EDI platform would. **Bottom line:** The pick specifically for EDI-to-Excel conversion, and the only product here with a published three-tier structure to plan around. ## How much does EDI software cost in 2026? Entry-level EDI software with confirmed vendor pricing runs from $0 a month, Celigo Integrator.io's free plan, up to $249 a month for Cargoson. Costs climb from there based on how many trading partners you connect, how many document formats you need, and how much transaction volume you're processing, not a per-user seat count. Only two products, Cargoson and EDI Power Reader, publish a full mid and high tier beyond entry level, averaging roughly $512 and $856 a month respectively. The rest, Boomi, ConnectPointz, and Celigo past its free plan, move to a custom quote once you need more than the base tier. A clean, published tier ladder like Cargoson's or EDI Power Reader's is the exception here, not the rule. For everything else in this comparison, the number that matters most is what happens once you outgrow entry level, not the entry-level price itself. For broader context, Capterra advisor call data show supply chain software buyers, a parent category to EDI specifically, reported an average budget of $164 per user, per month, based on 1,736 advisor interactions between September 2024 and September 2026. Since EDI is one function within the broader supply chain software category rather than a distinct budget line most buyers separate out, this figure should be read as directional context, not a stand-in for the EDI-specific pricing above. ## How EDI software pricing works EDI vendors price software using one of two models: a subscription fee or a usage-based charge tied to connectors and transactions. Knowing which model a vendor uses matters more here than in most categories, since two products both advertising an entry price near $30 a month can end up costing very differently once trading partners and order volume enter the picture. | Pricing model | How it scales | Best fit | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Subscription | Fixed monthly or annual fee per tier, sometimes with a small usage charge on top | Businesses wanting a predictable, comparable bill | The advertised tier may not include every feature or document format you need | | Usage-based | Priced per connector, per trading partner, or per order processed | Businesses with a small, known set of trading partners | Setup fees and per-order charges can make the advertised base rate misleading | Most vendors that don't fit cleanly into either model skip publishing a price at all and quote based on your specific volume and integration needs instead. Always confirm what a subscription tier actually includes before assuming it covers your full document and trading-partner count. ## What affects EDI software pricing? Transaction volume and trading partner count are the primary drivers of EDI cost, followed by document format complexity, connector count, and integration with existing systems. Vendors scale costs as any of these grow, whether that shows up as a higher subscription tier or a bigger custom quote. - **Transaction and order volume:** Per-order and per-message charges add up quickly at scale, and reviewers across the products in this guide consistently point to pricing climbing as connection count and volume increase. - **Number of trading partners:** Per-connector pricing models charge based on how many individual partners you need to exchange documents with, not a flat rate regardless of partner count. - **Document format and complexity:** Some vendors' tiers scale by the number of document formats supported; more formats and more complex mapping cost more. - **Integration with existing systems:** Connecting an EDI platform to an existing ERP, accounting, or warehouse system typically adds implementation cost on top of the base price, and is a main reason vendors default to custom quotes. - **Deployment and support tier:** Premium support, dedicated account management, or white-labeled deployments sit well above standard subscription pricing. If your document volume or trading partner count is likely to grow quickly, confirm what specifically triggers a move from a published tier to a custom quote before you commit to an entry-level plan. ## Free plan vs. paid plan: what buyers actually get Only one product in this guide, Celigo Integrator.io, offers a free plan, and it's reached only after the trial period ends, not something you sign up for directly. Free and entry-level paid plans across this category cover core document translation and a limited number of connections, formats, or shipment volume. Moving to a paid tier, or a higher paid tier, unlocks more trading partner connections, additional document formats, or higher transaction and shipment caps. If you expect your volume or partner count to grow quickly, confirm what specifically triggers an upgrade before committing to an entry-level plan. ## Hidden costs to budget for Hidden costs in EDI software include per-connector setup fees, per-order or per-message overage charges, and integration costs for connecting to an existing ERP or accounting system. These additional expenses often fall outside a vendor's headline subscription rate. Ask vendors whether setup fees, per-order charges, or integration costs apply before signing a contract. | Cost type | Subscription plans | Usage-based plans | | --- | --- | --- | | Onboarding and per-connector setup fees | Sometimes | Yes | | Per-order or per-message overage fees | Sometimes | Yes | | New trading-partner onboarding fees | Rare | Yes | | ERP or accounting system integration fees | Sometimes | Sometimes | ## My take on EDI pricing An advertised starting price tells you very little about your true cost in this category. What matters is your transaction volume and trading partner count, since those are what actually push a bill up, not the plan name on a pricing page. Based on my research into the five products with confirmed vendor pricing, the businesses that budget most accurately are the ones who map out their expected trading partner count and transaction volume before comparing quotes, rather than comparing advertised starting prices side by side. How much does EDI software cost per month? Entry-level pricing among the five products with confirmed vendor pricing ranges from $0 to $249 a month, depending on the platform. Only two products publish a full mid and high tier beyond entry level, most others move to a custom quote once you need more. What is the cheapest EDI software? Among the platforms compared here, Celigo Integrator.io has the lowest entry cost at $0 a month, though its free plan is capped at 2 endpoints and 1 flow and is reached only after a 30-day trial rather than chosen directly. Is there free EDI software? Celigo Integrator.io is the only product in this guide with a free plan. It's not a separate sign-up tier, it's what an account becomes after the 30-day free trial ends. What factors make EDI pricing go up? Transaction volume and trading partner count are the biggest drivers, followed by document format complexity, connector count, and integration with an existing ERP or accounting system, as covered in the pricing-drivers section above. How much should a business budget for EDI software? Budget depends heavily on trading partner count and transaction volume rather than a flat per-seat cost. Confirm your expected volume for the next 12 months before comparing quotes, since crossing a usage threshold can move you from a published tier into a custom quote. Is a free EDI plan enough for a small business? Celigo Integrator.io's free plan may cover very light, single-connection use, but its 2-endpoint, 1-flow cap makes it unsuitable for most businesses managing more than one trading partner. ## Capterra's 2026 Software Buying Trends Report ### Download our 2026 Software Buying Trends Report to see how successful software adopters avoid disappointment and how your business can, too. * * * Looking for EDI software?

The products in this guide were identified from Capterra's best-rated EDI software directory and cross-checked for pricing directly against each vendor's own site. Only products with pricing published on vendors' websites were included in this table. Several other well-rated products, including TrueCommerce EDI Solutions, SPS Commerce, Infocon Systems WebEDI, KhooCommerce, and ASTERIA Warp, were evaluated but excluded from this guide, since none publish pricing on their own site. I summarized publicly available pricing sources, including each vendor's own website, as of September 2026, starting with the lowest monthly pricing (excluding annual discounts, noted separately where only an annual plan exists) for packages that include core functionality. Your company's needs may differ, and final pricing may vary. **Reported-budget figures and data sources** The reported-budget figure cited in this guide ($164 per user, per month) comes from Capterra Advisor call  data covering supply chain software pricing conversations, EDI's parent category. Here is exactly how that figure was built: - **Observation period:** September 1st 2024 to September 1st  2026. - **Geography and currency:** Capterra's advisor network is predominantly US-based, and budgets are captured in USD. - **Sample structure:** the figure is drawn from 1,736 advisor interactions covering supply chain software pricing conversations broadly, not EDI specifically, since the underlying data doesn't break EDI out as its own budget line. - **Exclusions and caveats:** this figure reflects what buyers reported or were quoted on advisor calls, not verified invoices, contracts, or a controlled survey sample, so I refer to it throughout this guide as a reported or quoted budget rather than actual spend. Because it covers the broader parent category rather than EDI specifically, I present it as directional context alongside the EDI-specific published pricing above, not as a substitute for it. Entry-level, mid-tier, and high-end averages reported earlier in this guide are calculated from the products in this comparison that publish a clean number at each tier. Cargoson and EDI Power Reader are the only two products with a complete tier structure and are the sole basis for the mid-tier and high-end averages; ConnectPointz publishes pricing but is excluded from those averages since its figure combines a setup fee, a per-connector charge, and per-order fees that don't reduce to one clean monthly number, and Celigo Integrator.io's free plan is excluded from the entry-level average since folding a $0 entry in would understate what a paid plan in this category typically costs. Each price was checked against the vendor's own current pricing page in September 2026: [Boomi](https://boomi.com/pricing/), [Cargoson](https://www.cargoson.com/en/pricing), [Celigo Integrator.io](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/13171065082779-Try-the-Celigo-Platform-for-free), [ConnectPointz](https://www.connectpointz.com/pricing), and [EDI Power Reader](https://www.emscorp.biz/products/edi-power-reader/).
