It is not really a high price for the value it gives. However, when you start doing the customization, it’s a bit expensive because I need to start provisioning other services before deployment. So from that angle, it is slightly expensive. Otherwise, it is a value for whatever the product is offering.
Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use.
The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers. If someone is smart enough to understand the business use case, they can use most features for free. For example, with integration, VBCS comes free for the first 500 users. It is free if an organization needs to use VBCS to create a dashboard only for monitoring purposes, and there will only be 5% of the monitoring team. You don't need to pay for custom dashboards in that case. There are some additional features available that we need to think cleverly about per business use case. The license we use for Oracle Integration Cloud Service is monthly. Since my client is an Oracle partner, that license comes with them.

I'm unaware of licensing costs but I know that Oracle requires the purchase of two separate products, with separate billing. If I want one integration with API CS, I have to pay twice for the one call. It's one of the major factors for clients not choosing this product and it should be included in the API CS part of OIP.
I do not deal with the licensing costs directly but I have seen the numbers. Whenever we have to get a license for the OIC, we have to get at least three environments: production, development, and UI test instance. The cost for these three instances is about $100,000 per year. I find the licensing a little expensive. If customers are already using Oracle products, they can often get deals and bring down their costs.
Licensing costs vary from client to client, depending on the client's other products purchased. They look at discounts, and these are all based on a contract, not a flat rate. It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things. Depending on the requirements. For example, it depends on the message, and how much data throughput will go through. I would rate the price a three out of five. I know there are many other competing products, but Oracle can probably be a little bit cheaper than this. There are no additional fees to the standard licensing fee.

Many open-source products can offer a high level of customizability and no upfront licensing cost. However, there can be a high cost involved in provisioning infrastructure, expertise, and other aspects. In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned. The platform offers a range of pre-built adapters and connectors but it is a closed platform controlled by Oracle. This has pros and cons in terms of flexibility versus productivity.

It has different licensing models. The most upfront and most transparent is the pay-as-you-go model. It also has a certain messages-per-hour limit. There is a certain amount that is charged per hour, and a certain number of messages are included in it, which you can scale up as you go. Its licensing is very competent and easy.

I think they're quite flexible in their pricing. So it all depends on the statement of the customer at play so they're quite flexible in terms of pricing. That's what we found.
Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a cloud-based integration tool that seamlessly integrates on-premise applications with Oracle Cloud (SaaS) or other cloud apps (for example, Workday, Salesforce, etc.) to other cloud apps. Oracle’s solution combines all the capabilities of application integration, process automation, visual application building, and integration analytics into a single unified cloud service.

Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use.
Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies.

The solution is expensive. But its excellent quality of integration makes it worth the buy.
The pricing models vary, and they can be per-message, fact-based, or incident-based. So, there are different pricing models available for users.
The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive.
The price is fair.

The price could be better and they need to work on their licensing model to make it easier for users.

The licensing costs need to be checked from the Oracle portal. Typically, there is just a standard licensing fee.
