Mule ESB is an expensive solution. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten.

The product offers a community edition that is free of cost. You will not get any support from Mule ESB's team for the tool's community edition. You can get support with the licensed version of Mule ESB.
I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price. I would place it in the middle. It's neither too expensive nor too cheap.
Mule ESB is a costly solution. We pay approximately $80,000 annually for the system. The cost of the number of instances, annual subscription, and cloud hosting services are expensive.
I think the price is very high. If you use TIBCO BW, the license is for the CPU usage, then the IPS, and support. I also think the license for the product is a one-time expense.

Its licensing was yearly. There were minor fees additionally, but those were related to VPN's high availability. When you purchase MuleSoft, you purchase it because it is highly available. So, you have to make sure that your VPN can support that. That's pretty much it. The other tools that we picked were things to deploy the solution to build the CI/CD pipeline using MuleSoft. We picked the one that wasn't free. So, we had to pay for it, but it was a minor cost.

This product is cheaper than some offered by other vendors, although there is a problem because you have to pay for some third-party adapters.

I'm unsure of the licensing costs. I believe the total price is less than IBM, but it's still rather expensive.
The various features and components for this solution are no longer free.
