How we compiled this
Prices fetched directly from each vendor's official /pricing page via WebFetch on 2026-06-14. Fivetran uses consumption-based MAR (Monthly Active Rows) pricing with no fixed monthly floor on Standard/Enterprise/Business Critical tiers — those plans have monthlyUsd=null as the cost varies entirely by data volume. Stitch Advanced and Premium are billed annually only; monthlyUsd reflects the annualized monthly rate. Airbyte Cloud has two product lines (Agents and Data Replication); both are represented. Hevo Starter price listed is the monthly (non-annual) rate; annual rate is 20% lower. Matillion publishes no USD figures — all plans are consumption-credit-based with custom quotes. Rivery Base plan is pay-as-you-go at $0.90/BDU credit with no stated monthly minimum, so monthlyUsd=null. Where a vendor's official page returned 403/404, the corroboration source is a third-party aggregator that retrieved pricing from the vendor's public page. HIPAA/BAA noted only when explicitly stated by the vendor.
