How This Compares
Not every migration path looks the same. Here's what to look for when you're evaluating one.
Dimension
API Modernizer
Typical approach
Pricing
Published from $18,000 for a pilot — see the full breakdown on Pricing.
Often not published — a sales conversation is required before you see a number.
Timeline
2–8 hours of automated processing per application; a full pilot in about two weeks.
320–480 developer hours per application manually. 100 applications runs 3–5 years.
Validation before cutover
Your own existing tests run field-by-field against both systems, scored MATCH or MISMATCH, before anything is decommissioned.
Often relies on trusting the migration output, or manual QA cycles without a systematic comparison.
Vendor lock-in after migration
None. Generated Spring Boot code has no runtime dependency on API Modernizer — you own standard Java forever.
Worth checking directly — some generated output depends on the vendor's own runtime or tooling to keep working.
Security & compliance disclosure
Stated precisely: controls implemented today are described as implemented; certifications in progress are described as in progress.
Certifications and controls are sometimes referenced without detail on current status — worth asking for specifics.
Try before you commit
A two-week, fixed-scope pilot on one real application. You keep everything either way. No long-term commitment.
Often requires a broader commitment before you see results on your own code.
"Typical approach" describes common patterns in manual migrations and enterprise integration tooling generally, not any specific vendor. Confirm current details directly with any vendor you're evaluating, including us.
See it against your own application
The fastest way to evaluate any of this is on real code, not a comparison table.
