Pricing

We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.

What it is

Managed data pipelines: hundreds of maintained connectors loading from applications and databases into a warehouse, with schema changes handled.

Who it is for

Data teams who want pipelines that keep working without anyone maintaining them.

Where it is strongest

Reliability. The connectors are maintained and schema drift is handled, which is precisely the work that makes self-built pipelines expensive over time.

Where it falls short

Expensive, priced on rows changed, which is hard to predict and occasionally shocking. Little control over how data arrives. And for one or two simple sources it is enormously over-engineered.

Our verdict

Recommended when pipeline reliability is worth real money. Airbyte self-hosted is far cheaper if you have someone to maintain it.
