# Hevo Data

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/etl/hevo/

A managed pipeline platform billed by event, where every insert, update and delete landing in the destination is counted separately.

## Who it suits

A capped bill at low volume with real support attached to it. $299 a month covers 5 million events, and 24x7 email and live chat come with the cheapest paid plan rather than an upgrade. SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and per-region residency — EU, US or APAC, never crossed — are stated platform-wide.

Consider something else if Rows are rewritten often. An event is every insert, update and delete landing in the destination, so a row touched thirty times in a month is thirty events where a monthly-active-row meter reads one. Governance arrives late too: RBAC and SSO are Business Critical, which is quote-only.

## iScore

75 / 100 (80% interval 66–83), rank 3 of 4 in etl — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.

inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known.
