Fivetran is an ELT provider that normalizes data within its own virtual private cloud (VPC), cutting compute costs for clients. This approach is unique among ELT tools, which typically normalize data in the client's warehouse or lake, increasing warehousing costs. By normalizing data within its own VPC, Fivetran reduces ingest compute costs substantially, with customers seeing savings of up to 10X compared to other providers like Stitch. Fivetran offers a free trial with 14 days of access to data connectors for 300+ sources, allowing customers to test the tool's efficiency before committing. The company also has multiple pricing tiers, including a free plan, to accommodate smaller organizations and limit initial financial commitment.
