The Problem

MuleSoft costs are out of control.

What you're living with

$350K – $3M+ in annual licensing
Vendor lock-in to proprietary runtime
Renewal cycles designed to extract maximum spend, not deliver maximum value
Opaque pricing tied to vCores, not business outcomes
Specialized talent that's expensive and scarce
A sales relationship where leverage only flows one direction

What life looks like after

Open-source runtime, zero licensing fees
Deploy anywhere — cloud, on-prem, hybrid
Standard Java skills, massive talent pool
Same enterprise integration patterns
You own the code, forever

How It Works

Three phases. No surprises.

Phase 1

Assess

We audit your MuleSoft estate — flows, connectors, APIs, dependencies. You get a detailed migration plan with a hard cost estimate and timeline.

Phase 2

Migrate

We rebuild your integrations in Apache Camel, using automated tooling where possible and expert engineering where it matters. Phased or all-at-once — your call.

Phase 3

Operate

Go it alone with your team, or let ours manage your integration platform. Either way, you'll never write another seven-figure check for middleware.

The Math

See where your money actually goes.

MuleSoft (10 vCores) / year

vCore licensing (10 × $60K)$600,000
Anypoint Platform subscription$150,000
Anypoint MQ (message fees)$36,000
Premium connectors (SAP, etc.)$50,000
API Manager (advanced tier)$40,000
Platinum support$75,000
Anypoint Studio / DevOps add-ons$25,000
Total annual cost$976,000

Apache Camel on AWS/Azure / year

Apache Camel runtime licensing$0
EKS/AKS cluster (3 nodes, m5.xlarge)$15,800
RabbitMQ (managed, small cluster)$3,600
Redis (ElastiCache / Azure Cache)$2,400
Kong Gateway (OSS, self-hosted)$0
Grafana Cloud (free tier or self-hosted)$0
IDE tooling (IntelliJ CE / VS Code)$0
Total annual cost$21,800

Based on a mid-size deployment with 10 MuleSoft vCores. MuleSoft pricing varies by contract; figures represent typical list pricing. Cloud infrastructure costs assume on-demand pricing without reserved instances (which would be even cheaper).

The Stack

Every component has a replacement.

MuleSoft	Replacement	Why it's better
Mule Runtime	Apache Camel + Spring Boot	Same integration patterns, zero licensing, deploys anywhere
Anypoint Studio	IntelliJ / VS Code + Camel plugin	Tools your devs already know
DataWeave	Java / Groovy	Real languages with real debuggers and real talent pools
CloudHub	Kubernetes / Docker / any cloud	No proprietary runtime. Deploy where you want.
API Manager	Kong / Gravitee / Apache APISIX	Open-source API gateway with rate limiting, auth, analytics
Anypoint Exchange	350+ Camel components	Connectors for every major system, protocol, and cloud service
Anypoint MQ	RabbitMQ / Kafka / ActiveMQ	Industry-standard messaging you probably already run
Anypoint Monitoring	Grafana + Prometheus / OpenTelemetry	Vendor-neutral observability across your entire stack
Object Store	Redis / Hazelcast	Battle-tested distributed caching
