01.Evaluation guide

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.
