Pricing sourced from Fivetran · Last verified March 2026
Fivetran uses consumption-based pricing measured in Monthly Active Rows (MAR), meaning you pay based on how many unique rows are inserted, updated, or deleted in your destination each month. There is a Free plan with no credit card required, plus paid Standard, Enterprise, and Business Critical tiers with progressively more security, governance, and support features. Exact dollar amounts are not published on the homepage, but cost calculators and a Total Cost of Ownership page are available on Fivetran's pricing site. Most teams find pricing reasonable for low-to-moderate SaaS volumes but should model database CDC volumes carefully.
Fivetran supports 700+ pre-built connectors and over 900 sources and destinations in total, spanning SaaS apps (Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB), ERPs (SAP, NetSuite, Workday), advertising platforms (Google Ads, Facebook Ads), and file storage (Amazon S3). Destinations include Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, and managed data lakes using Iceberg or Delta Lake. For sources that aren't pre-built, the Connector SDK lets developers create custom pipelines that still benefit from Fivetran's managed infrastructure.
Yes, Fivetran is widely used in regulated industries including healthcare (Pfizer), financial services (National Australia Bank), and consumer goods (Coca-Cola). The platform holds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications, and offers Business Critical tier features like customer-managed keys, PrivateLink, and HIPAA BAAs. Hybrid Deployment is available for organizations that need to keep data processing within their own VPC or on-premises infrastructure while still using Fivetran's managed orchestration.
Fivetran is a fully managed, closed-source SaaS focused on enterprise reliability, while Airbyte is open-source first with a self-hosted option and a managed cloud offering. Fivetran typically offers more polished connectors, better automated schema handling, and stronger enterprise security certifications, but at a higher price point. Airbyte is usually preferred by teams that want to self-host for data residency reasons, need to modify connectors, or want to avoid consumption-based pricing — while Fivetran wins for teams prioritizing zero-maintenance pipelines and breadth of supported sources.
Fivetran focuses primarily on the EL (Extract and Load) part of ELT, with transformations handled in the destination warehouse via Fivetran Transformations, which orchestrates SQL-based transformation jobs (and supports dbt Core projects). This means raw data lands in your warehouse first, then transformation models run on a reliable schedule to produce analytics-ready datasets. It's a good fit for the modern ELT pattern but means heavy in-flight transformation logic isn't its strength — for that, tools like Matillion or in-house Spark jobs may be more flexible.
