Stitch can do a lot of the simple replication stuff for cheaper. Fivetran, apparently, is going to change their bonkers billing stuff (only 2-3 years old iirc) because they are losing customers over it.
i meaannn… i work at airbyte haha. happy to do a friendly chat if it’d be useful to you (im curious what motivates you to do this startup in a pretty crowded field)

what did you go for instead?

Yeah Stitch is great and far more affordable.
Some weird limitations around postgres and datatypes (BC dates will clog it), but if you actually validate your data you won't have any problems.
We have been a fivetran subscriber for close to 5 years, and I think every year we have renewed it has been a completely new billing model.
oh i didnt know that. has the billing change been talked anywhere or is this rumor for now?

We switched to stitch for the endpoints and an in-house Google cloud function to consume events as a webhook.
Airbyte has an interesting product worth checking out. Open source, also has a saas offering.
yup! here's how we think about the data integration problem. https://airbyte.com/blog/data-integration
we switched to self hosted meltano.
if you (or anyone else) is looking for data sync (etl and reverse-etl) please email me, I'm working on a startup that might be of interest to you.
