What is the cheapest EDI software?

Last updated Refreshed quarterly 22 platforms 21 cited sources

Tediware is the cheapest EDI software at 10 trading partners and 20,000 transactions a month, at $300 a month on the Scale plan. The next-lowest published price for that scenario is Boomi at $1,0991 a month on Pay-As-You-Go, a plan Boomi offers to active trial users. Tediware's $300 is less than a third of Boomi's $1,099.

Tediware's AS2 gateway is a paid add-on at $250 a month plus $0.02 per transaction over AS2. With AS2, Tediware costs $950 a month at 10 trading partners and 20,000 transactions, which is still lower than any other published price for that scenario.

How was this EDI pricing comparison checked?

Each cost on this list is the vendor's cheapest published plan that covers the scenario's trading partners and monthly volume, billed monthly. Overage and per-partner fees are included as published, and setup fees are excluded unless published. Every cell comes from the vendor's own pages with a footnoted source, and the checks were made in October 2026.

Units differ by vendor on this list. Tediware counts X12 transaction sets, while Boomi counts messages1. Babelway prices in euros5, so its costs appear in euros.

Four vendors on this list publish a starting price without enough terms to compute a scenario: Cleo7, Crstl8, TrueCommerce9 and IBM Sterling10. Nine vendors on this list publish no supply-chain EDI price: 1 EDI Source11, eZCom Software12, Infocon Systems13, Jitterbit14, Kleinschmidt15, OpenText16, PartnerLinQ17, SPS Commerce18 and Stedi19. ECGrid20 publishes developer tier prices only, and EdiFabric21 prices a translation library and hosted API, so neither is comparable.

Tediware publishes this list and is one of the 22 platforms on it.
