Best for: 500k MAR/month free
Best for: Custom pricing for high-volume or specific compliance needs (SOC 2, HIPAA)
Fivetran bills by Monthly Active Rows (MAR) - rows synced that month. Free tier for up to 500k MAR. Standard is $0.90-1.50/MAR above that. For large data pipelines, costs grow quickly: 10M MAR/month = $9,000-15,000/month. The model can surprise teams with high-volume sources.
500k MAR/month free. Enough for small data stacks, testing new connectors, or low-volume sources. Full feature access within the MAR limit.
$0.90-1.50/MAR. Monitor your MAR closely - high-frequency syncing of large tables can generate surprising costs. Set up cost alerts immediately after enabling syncs.
Custom pricing for high-volume or specific compliance needs (SOC 2, HIPAA). At 50M+ MAR/month, negotiate a flat-rate deal or evaluate Airbyte seriously.
Free tier vs. $350/mo average
Best-in-class managed ELT with the most connectors. Airbyte (open-source) is the main cost-saving alternative. For teams moving fast and not wanting to maintain connectors, Fivetran pricing is justified. Over 50M MAR/month, Airbyte becomes worth the engineering investment.
