The Verdict
Hasura is built for backend developers and startups, with a focus on graphql-api and rest-api. Tray.io targets enterprises and revenue operations and leads with visual-workflow-builder and api-connectors.
Tray.io uses custom enterprise pricing, while Hasura starts at $99/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
