Martini vs Boomi

Which enterprise integration platform fits your architecture?

Quick Verdict

Martini and Boomi are both enterprise integration platforms that can connect applications, automate workflows, transform data, expose APIs, process events, and run integrations across cloud and customer-controlled infrastructure.

Martini is designed primarily for enterprise developers who want visual development without giving up Git, custom code, Java libraries, runtime control, APIs, event-driven architecture, or conventional software engineering practices.

Boomi is a broad integration and automation platform built around visual integration processes, reusable connectors, APIs, data management, B2B/EDI, workflow, AI agents, and a distributed runtime architecture.

Consider Martini when

You want a developer-centric integration platform with a comparatively direct development, deployment, and pricing model.

  • Build APIs, integrations, workflows, event-driven services, and backend processes in one development environment.
  • Use visual development while retaining access to custom code, Java libraries, JAR files, Spring libraries, and reusable functions.
  • Treat integration projects like conventional software projects using native Git workflows and CI/CD.
  • Deploy the complete Martini Runtime in Lonti Cloud, your own cloud account, or on-premises.
  • Use REST, GraphQL, SOAP, AsyncAPI, databases, message brokers, files, and custom code as first-class integration building blocks.
  • Connect to APIs and applications without connector-based licensing fees.
  • Use published transaction allowances or fixed-price unlimited-transaction plans.

Consider Boomi when

You want a mature enterprise iPaaS with a large packaged connector ecosystem and a broad platform extending beyond application integration.

  • Take advantage of Boomi's large catalogue of packaged application and technology connectors.
  • Use a visual process-development model for integration and automation.
  • Deploy integration runtimes in Boomi-managed clouds or customer-controlled infrastructure.
  • Use Boomi API Management for API discovery, governance, gateways, subscriptions, plans, and developer portals.
  • Combine integration with B2B/EDI, Data Hub, Flow, data integration, API management, and AI-agent capabilities.
  • Use platform-managed component versioning and Branch & Merge for parallel integration development.
  • Use Boomi Agentstudio and Boomi GPT for agent development and AI-assisted integration design.

Boomi's current developer documentation states that Boomi provides more than 300 connectors, with additional custom connectors supported through its Connector SDK.

Both Martini and Boomi can implement complex enterprise integration logic rather than only simple point-to-point automation.

Boomi integrations are assembled as processes containing shapes for connectors, routing, mapping, transformation, logic, subprocesses, and other operations. Reusable configuration is represented as Boomi components.

Martini uses visual services, workflows, functions, endpoints, data mappings, database services, events, and code within Martini packages.

Packaged connectorsMarketplace packages plus universal connectivity300+ packaged connectors
Custom connector SDKPlatform extensibility through packages, services, and librariesYes

Boomi has a strong packaged-connectivity proposition. Its connector catalogue covers a broad range of SaaS applications, databases, protocols, infrastructure services, and enterprise systems, and developers can create private connectors using the Connector SDK.

Boomi API Service components natively expose REST, SOAP, and OData endpoints and automatically generate OpenAPI specifications for REST services and WSDL definitions for SOAP services.

Boomi also supports GraphQL in its API management layer. GraphQL APIs can be proxied, discovered, secured, published through the Developer Portal, and protected by GraphQL-specific policies. However, the current Boomi Integration API Service documentation identifies REST, SOAP, and OData as the native service types rather than GraphQL.

Extensibility and Custom Development

Both platforms can go beyond packaged connectors

Boomi supports reusable JavaScript and Groovy scripting as well as Custom Library components containing uploaded JAR files. Custom libraries can be deployed to runtimes and used to extend scripting or connector behaviour.

Boomi also provides a Connector SDK for creating private custom connectors when a packaged connector does not meet a requirement.

Martini similarly allows developers to combine visual development with Groovy, Java libraries, JAR files, Spring libraries, scripting, and reusable custom functions.

Boomi Integration provides its own internal source-management model. Each component has revision history, previous revisions can be restored, and Branch & Merge allows developers to create parallel platform branches and merge changes.

Boomi also exposes APIs for creating packaged component versions and deploying those packages through test and production environments. Those APIs can be called from GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab, or other external CI/CD tools.

Boomi API Control Plane separately supports APIs sourced from Git repositories, including Git-tag-based API versions.

Deployment and Infrastructure

Central SaaS management plane requiredDeployment model depends on selected Lonti architectureBoomi Enterprise Platform remains the central SaaS design and management plane for standard Integration deployments

Deployment flexibility is a strength of both products.

Boomi distinguishes between Boomi-hosted runtime clouds and local customer-hosted integration runtimes. Local options include a basic runtime, clustered runtimes for high availability and load balancing, and private runtime clouds.

This allows integration processing to occur close to private applications and data even though the Boomi Enterprise Platform provides the central design and management experience.

Martini Runtime can similarly execute in Lonti-managed infrastructure, the customer's own cloud account, or on-premises.

Boomi Process Reporting provides near-real-time information about integration executions, documents, logs, errors, runtime activity, and execution results.

Boomi can rerun successful or failed documents directly from Process Reporting without retrieving the original source data again. It also provides email alerts and Event Notifications for runtime status, process execution, and user-generated notification events.

Martini Tracker similarly records transaction-level execution information, searchable payload and metadata, errors, and processing history and allows selected transactions to be resubmitted.

Boomi has made AI a significant part of its platform. Boomi GPT orchestrates platform AI capabilities including DesignGen for generating integrations, Scribe for documentation, Pathfinder for design and mapping assistance, Answers for product guidance, and Integration Advisor for analysing integrations.

Boomi Agentstudio provides low-code AI-agent design, deployment, governance, and orchestration capabilities. Boomi also provides an MCP Registry that can govern MCP servers made available to agents.

Martini's AI direction integrates AI directly into the same workflow-oriented developer environment used for APIs, integration, automation, services, and custom code.

Martini vs Boomi Pricing

Martini and Boomi use different commercial models, and Boomi itself currently offers two substantially different ways to purchase the platform.

Martini's Essentials plan meters distinct workflow and service executions as transactions. Elastic and Customer Cloud remove transaction metering.

Boomi's traditional subscription editions are quote-based and can be licensed according to edition, connections, enterprise connectors, and add-ons. Boomi also offers a publicly priced Pay-As-You-Go model that charges a base subscription plus a fixed price for each Boomi Message.

Martini Transactions vs Boomi Messages

How Martini counts a transaction

A Martini transaction is one distinct execution of a workflow or service.

  • Workflow steps
  • Transformations
  • Database operations
  • Internal service calls
  • External API calls
  • Custom code executed inside the workflow

These operations remain part of the same Martini transaction when they occur within that workflow or service execution.

Martini example

A workflow receives an order, retrieves a customer, transforms the payload, invokes an ERP, updates a CRM, and publishes an event. If this is one workflow execution, it is one Martini transaction.

How Boomi counts a Message

For Boomi's message-based pricing model, a Message is a single Boomi document flowing through the Boomi Enterprise Platform.

Boomi counts inbound and outbound documents that are sent or received. Response documents from request/response outbound interactions also count as Messages.

Internal component-to-component messages within the same Boomi account, such as Integration calling another Boomi platform component internally, are not counted as additional Messages.

Boomi example

If an integration receives one order document and sends one resulting document to another system, the simplified flow produces two Boomi Messages: one inbound and one outbound. If an outbound request also returns a response document, that response can add another Message.

Internal workflow complexity

Boomi's message model does not charge once for every process shape or transformation step. Adding routing, mapping, scripting, or internal logic does not by itself create additional Boomi Messages.

In this respect, Boomi is materially different from platforms that meter every workflow action. Martini and Boomi both allow substantial internal processing without metering each internal workflow step separately.

What happens with batches?

A Boomi document can represent a batch containing many business records. Consequently, Boomi Message consumption can be very efficient when many records move together as one document, provided the process does not split the batch into large numbers of separately metered inbound or outbound documents.

Do Martini and Boomi Offer Unlimited Usage?

Martini

Yes. Lonti Elastic, from $3,995/month, and Customer Cloud, from $4,500/month, include unlimited Martini transactions.

Unlimited transactions means the subscription is not capped or priced according to the number of Martini transactions processed. Compute capacity remains finite and depends on the selected infrastructure and workload characteristics.

Boomi

Boomi describes both Pay-As-You-Go and its traditional editions as supporting unlimited usage, meaning there is not a fixed usage ceiling.

However, Boomi Pay-As-You-Go continues to charge $0.05 for every Boomi Message. Unlimited usage therefore means uncapped consumption rather than unlimited messages for a fixed subscription price.

Boomi's traditional subscription editions are also described as providing unlimited usage, but their commercial terms are not publicly priced and subscriptions are based on edition, connections, and add-ons.

Which Platform Fits Your Use Case?

Both

Complex enterprise integration

Both Martini and Boomi are capable of handling complex integrations involving APIs, databases, message brokers, transformations, files, custom logic, enterprise applications, and event-driven processing.

Boomi

Packaged SaaS and enterprise application connectivity

Consider Boomi when a large catalogue of packaged application connectors is particularly important. Boomi provides more than 300 connectors and supports custom connector development through its SDK.

Martini

Developer-led integration using Git

Consider Martini when integration projects should use the same Git repositories, branches, pull requests, and CI/CD practices as conventional software projects. Boomi provides strong internal versioning and Branch & Merge, but its Integration development model does not use Git as the native source-control system.

Boomi

API management across multiple gateways

Consider Boomi when federated API management, discovery of APIs across different gateways, API products, subscriptions, plans, developer portals, and centralised governance are major requirements.

Martini

REST and GraphQL backend development

Consider Martini when developers need to build REST and GraphQL APIs alongside integration workflows and backend services. Boomi provides strong REST, SOAP, and OData API Service capabilities and can manage or proxy GraphQL APIs, but a native GraphQL implementation model equivalent to its REST API Service was not identified in current public documentation.

Both

Customer-controlled integration runtime

Both platforms support execution inside customer-controlled infrastructure. Boomi provides local runtimes, runtime clusters, and private runtime clouds. Martini provides Customer Cloud and on-premises runtime deployment.

Martini

Transparent high-volume pricing

Consider Martini when a published fixed production cost for high transaction volumes is important. Martini publicly lists unlimited-transaction Elastic and Customer Cloud plans. Boomi publishes its Pay-As-You-Go message rate but keeps traditional enterprise subscription pricing private.

Boomi

Low-volume or highly batched integration

Boomi Pay-As-You-Go can be commercially attractive when document volume is low or many business records can be efficiently processed inside relatively few Boomi Messages.

Boomi

AI-agent lifecycle management

Consider Boomi when a dedicated low-code environment for designing, deploying, governing, and embedding AI agents is a major requirement. Agentstudio provides a specialised lifecycle and governance experience.

The Bottom Line

Martini and Boomi overlap substantially as enterprise integration platforms. Both provide visual development, reusable components, APIs, mapping, scripting, extensibility, customer-hosted runtimes, deployment environments, operational monitoring, and AI-assisted development.

Boomi's centre of gravity is a broad enterprise integration and automation platform. Its strengths include a large connector ecosystem, mature distributed runtimes, B2B/EDI, API Management, Data Hub, Flow, data integration, and Agentstudio.

Martini's centre of gravity is developer-led integration and backend development. It combines APIs, workflows, integration, databases, events, Java extensibility, Git, CI/CD, and customer-controlled runtimes while keeping those capabilities within a relatively compact development model.

The pricing models also differ materially. Martini meters complete workflow or service executions and then removes transaction metering on Elastic and Customer Cloud. Boomi's publicly priced Pay-As-You-Go model meters inbound and outbound documents at $0.05 per Message, while its traditional enterprise subscriptions use quote-based licensing around editions, connections, and add-ons.

Do we value Boomi's broad connector and enterprise-platform ecosystem more highly, or do we want a developer-centric integration platform built around conventional source control, flexible code, APIs, and a simpler runtime and consumption model?

Evaluate Martini and Boomi with the Same Project

Because both products can handle serious enterprise integration, a useful proof of concept should test development lifecycle, extensibility, operations, and consumption rather than simply connecting two SaaS applications.

  1. Import an OpenAPI definition and consume an external REST API.
  2. Build and publish a REST API.
  3. Implement a GraphQL API requirement.
  4. Connect to a relational database.
  5. Transform a complex nested payload.
  6. Consume or publish an event through a message broker.
  7. Use a packaged connector for a major enterprise application.
  8. Implement a requirement not covered by the packaged connector.
  9. Add reusable Groovy or Java-library logic.
  10. Create reusable integration components.
  11. Develop two changes in parallel and merge them.
  12. Automate deployment through development, staging, and production.
  13. Deploy the production runtime into customer-controlled infrastructure.
  14. Intentionally cause a transaction or document to fail.
  15. Find the failure using production monitoring.
  16. Rerun or resubmit the failed transaction or document.
  17. Measure the usage generated by the production workload.

Compare development effort, connector coverage, maintainability, source-control workflow, extensibility, API capabilities, debugging, deployment, governance, operational visibility, infrastructure requirements, measured usage, and expected production cost.

Because those prices are not public, an exact enterprise price comparison cannot be made from public information alone.

1 Million Records Processed in 1,000 Batch Files

One million business records arrive in 1,000 batch files containing 1,000 records each, and each inbound batch results in one outbound batch document.

This scenario shows why Boomi's message model should not automatically be characterised as more expensive. When large numbers of records are efficiently batched into relatively few documents, Boomi Pay-As-You-Go can be inexpensive.

Workflow Complexity Increases but Document Movement Does Not

Neither pricing model charges simply because more internal workflow steps were added. Martini continues to meter the overall execution, while Boomi continues to meter the external document movement. Boomi Message usage would increase only if the revised design created additional inbound or outbound documents.

What these scenarios show

These scenarios are illustrations of the published pricing models, not a claim that Martini will always cost less than Boomi.

Martini cost drivers

  • Workflow or service execution volume until an unlimited plan is selected.
  • Selected Lonti plan.
  • Runtime infrastructure capacity required for the workload.
  • Optional infrastructure services.

Boomi cost drivers

  • Number of inbound documents.
  • Number of outbound documents.
  • Response documents generated by request/response interactions.
  • Whether data is batched or split into individual documents.
  • Base Pay-As-You-Go subscription.

Martini and Boomi meter fundamentally different units. Martini primarily meters complete workflow or service executions and offers fixed-price plans with unlimited transactions. Boomi Pay-As-You-Go meters documents crossing platform boundaries at a published per-message price, while Boomi's traditional subscription editions use separately negotiated commercial terms. Workload shape, batching, fan-out, connector requirements, and volume can therefore materially change the result.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Martini and Boomi?

Both are enterprise integration platforms. Boomi is a broad iPaaS and automation platform with a large packaged connector ecosystem and additional capabilities across API Management, B2B/EDI, data management, workflow, and AI agents. Martini is more narrowly developer-centric, combining APIs, integration, workflows, events, databases, custom code, Git, CI/CD, and runtime deployment within a unified development platform.

How much does Boomi cost?

Boomi's traditional Integration editions are quote-based. Boomi also publishes a Pay-As-You-Go option starting at $99/month plus $0.05 for each Boomi Message. Boomi documentation currently states that Pay-As-You-Go is available to active trial users.

How much does Martini cost?

Lonti Essentials starts at $495/month and includes 100,000 Martini transactions. Elastic starts at $3,995/month and includes unlimited Martini transactions in an isolated managed environment. Customer Cloud starts at $4,500/month and includes unlimited Martini transactions with deployment within the customer's cloud account or on-premises infrastructure.

What counts as a Martini transaction?

A Martini transaction is one distinct workflow or service execution. Multiple workflow steps, transformations, database operations, integrations, API calls, and custom logic performed inside that execution do not each create another Martini transaction.

What is a Boomi Message?

Under Boomi's message-based pricing model, a Message is a Boomi document flowing through the platform. Inbound and outbound documents count as Messages, and response documents from request/response outbound interactions are also counted. Internal component-to-component messages within the same account are not counted as additional Messages.

Is one Boomi Message equivalent to one Martini transaction?

No. A Martini transaction represents an entire workflow or service execution. A Boomi Message represents a document flowing into or out of the platform. A single business transaction can therefore represent one Martini transaction while creating several Boomi Messages.

Does Boomi charge for every step in an integration process?

No. Boomi's message-based pricing does not count every mapping, decision, script, or internal process shape as another Message. Message usage is driven primarily by documents flowing through relevant platform boundaries.

Does Martini offer unlimited transactions?

Yes. Lonti's Elastic and Customer Cloud plans include unlimited Martini transactions.

Does Boomi offer unlimited usage?

Boomi describes both Pay-As-You-Go and its traditional editions as providing unlimited usage. For Pay-As-You-Go, this means usage is not capped, but each Boomi Message remains billable at $0.05. This is therefore different from Martini's fixed-price unlimited-transaction plans.

Does Martini have connectors like Boomi?

Yes, but the platforms emphasise connectivity differently. Boomi's catalogue of more than 300 packaged connectors is a significant strength. Martini provides integration packages and native endpoints but also emphasises standards-based connectivity through REST, GraphQL, SOAP, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, databases, webhooks, message brokers, and custom code. Lonti does not charge additional fees based on which API or application is connected.

Can Boomi run on premises?

Yes. Boomi Integration processes can execute on customer-hosted local runtimes, runtime clusters, or private runtime clouds. The central Boomi Enterprise Platform remains the SaaS design and management plane for standard deployments.

Can Martini run on premises?

Yes. Martini Runtime can be deployed within customer-controlled cloud or on-premises infrastructure through the Customer Cloud model.

Does Boomi support Git?

Boomi Integration uses built-in component revision history and Branch & Merge rather than Git as its native integration source-control model. Boomi can integrate with external CI/CD tooling through Platform APIs, and Boomi API Control Plane can create and version API definitions from Git repositories.

Do both Martini and Boomi support CI/CD?

Yes. Martini uses Git and conventional CI/CD pipelines directly around Martini packages. Boomi exposes Platform APIs that can create packaged components, deploy them to environments, configure environment properties, and participate in external DevOps and CI/CD workflows.

Can both platforms use custom JAR libraries?

Yes. Martini can use custom Java libraries and JARs directly within its developer environment. Boomi supports Custom Library components containing uploaded JAR files that can be deployed with integrations and used for scripting or connector requirements.

Can both platforms create REST APIs?

Yes. Martini can design and publish REST APIs. Boomi API Service components can expose REST endpoints and automatically generate OpenAPI specifications.

Can both platforms create GraphQL APIs?

Martini can natively create GraphQL APIs. Boomi can manage, proxy, secure, and publish GraphQL APIs through its API-management capabilities, but current Boomi Integration API Service documentation identifies REST, SOAP, and OData as the native service implementation types rather than GraphQL.

Which platform has stronger packaged connectivity?

Boomi has a significant packaged-connectivity advantage, with more than 300 connectors and a Connector SDK for private custom connectors. Martini places greater emphasis on open API and protocol connectivity so integrations are not dependent on a packaged connector existing for each application.

Which platform is designed around professional software-development practices?

Both provide enterprise development lifecycle features, but they take different approaches. Martini uses Git as its native project source-control model and integrates directly with standard CI/CD pipelines. Boomi provides its own component revision history and Branch & Merge model and exposes APIs for automated packaging and deployment through external CI/CD systems.

Is Martini an alternative to Boomi?

Yes. There is substantial overlap across application integration, workflow automation, APIs, databases, event-driven integration, custom scripting, reusable components, monitoring, customer-hosted runtimes, and AI-assisted integration development. The major differences are packaged connector breadth, source-control model, API architecture, platform scope, and commercial model.

Methodology

This comparison is based primarily on current first-party documentation from Lonti and Boomi.

  • Identify the date on which the comparison was last reviewed.
  • Use current Boomi product and developer documentation for material Boomi claims wherever possible.
  • Use current Lonti documentation and pricing for Martini claims.
  • Distinguish 'not publicly documented' from 'not supported'.
  • Distinguish Boomi Integration from Boomi Data Integration where the products use different capabilities or commercial models.
  • Distinguish the Boomi Pay-As-You-Go pricing model from traditional quote-based Boomi subscription editions.
  • Avoid fabricated performance benchmarks or arbitrary ratings.
  • Acknowledge areas where Boomi has material strengths.
  • Compare architecture and operating model rather than relying only on feature checkboxes.
  • Disclose assumptions used in pricing scenarios.
  • Do not present Pay-As-You-Go calculations as equivalent to a Boomi enterprise quotation.
  • Treat pricing, packaging, AI capabilities, connector availability, and licensing as time-sensitive.

The objective is not to claim that Martini is universally better than Boomi. The objective is to show how two enterprise integration platforms differ in development model, connectivity, API architecture, extensibility, deployment, DevOps, operations, AI capabilities, and commercial consumption model.

Disclosure and Disclaimer

This comparison has been prepared by Lonti, the developer of Martini. It is intended to provide general information to organisations evaluating integration and automation platforms and should not be regarded as an independent or impartial product review.

Information about Boomi is based primarily on publicly available information published by Boomi, including its product documentation, pricing pages, developer documentation, and other official materials, as identified in the sources above. Information about Martini is based on Lonti's own product documentation and pricing.

We aim to keep this comparison accurate and current, but products, features, pricing, usage limits, licensing terms, packaging, and commercial arrangements may change without notice. Public documentation may also be incomplete or may not reflect individually negotiated enterprise agreements. Readers should verify important information directly with the relevant vendor before making purchasing, architectural, or commercial decisions.

Where public information does not provide enough detail to make an exact comparison, this page may use stated assumptions or illustrative calculations. These are clearly identified where applicable and should not be interpreted as Boomi's official pricing, performance, or contractual terms.

In particular, Boomi pricing scenarios using the Pay-As-You-Go model are calculated from Boomi's publicly documented $99 monthly base subscription and $0.05 per-Message usage price. Boomi's traditional enterprise subscription editions are individually quoted and may produce materially different pricing, particularly for higher-volume workloads. Illustrative Pay-As-You-Go calculations should therefore not be interpreted as a Boomi enterprise quotation.

Feature comparisons describe capabilities identified in publicly available documentation at the date shown on this page. The absence of a documented capability should not necessarily be interpreted as confirmation that the capability is unavailable.

This content is provided for general informational purposes only. Lonti makes no representation or warranty that the information is complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular organisation or use case. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lonti accepts no liability for decisions or losses arising from reliance on this comparison. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

All third-party product names, company names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Lonti is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with Boomi.
