# Portable Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/etl/portable/ A fixed-fee ELT platform priced by the number of enabled pipelines, with data volume unlimited on every plan. ## Who it suits A bill that does not move and a long tail of obscure sources. 1,500+ connectors is the largest catalogue here, data volume is unlimited on every plan, and the only thing that changes the price is enabling another flow — so a nightly full reload of a huge table costs exactly what a small one does. Consider something else if You have a handful of pipelines, or want to start without committing. $1,800 a month for six flows is the floor and there is no free tier, only a 14-day trial — one pipeline here costs what a light Fivetran connection costs 360 times over. Standard also syncs hourly; 15 minutes means Pro at $2,800. ## iScore 69 / 100 (80% interval 60–77), rank 4 of 4 in etl. 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. Method: https://inetgeek.com/iscore/.

It is the only free access — the plan table has no $0 row. ([source](https://portable.io/pricing), read 2026-09-15) - Entry paid plan: $1,800 a month for Standard, which enables 6 data flows and includes unlimited data volume. ([source](https://portable.io/pricing), read 2026-09-15) - Pricing model: A fixed monthly fee set by the number of enabled data flows, with unlimited data volume on every plan. Each unique source-destination pair counts as one flow. ([source](https://portable.io/pricing), read 2026-09-15) - When you exceed a cap: There is no volume overage. Data volume is unlimited on both plans, so the bill moves only when another flow is enabled.
