Fivetran Alternative: Real-Time Streaming at 8x Cheaper
Blog post from Streamkap
Streamkap offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to Fivetran for real-time data streaming, boasting a performance that is 10 times faster and 8 times cheaper. Unlike Fivetran, which operates on a batch ETL model with pricing based on Monthly Active Rows, Streamkap utilizes a simple cost-per-GB model for its event streaming platform, emphasizing real-time, sub-second data processing. Streamkap guarantees 99.99% uptime compared to Fivetran's 99.9%, and supports a variety of data sources and destinations with robust security features, including SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and a Bring Your Own Cloud option for enhanced data privacy. The platform also offers in-stream processing capabilities to further reduce costs and improve efficiency, particularly when integrating with Snowflake, where it can significantly lower warehouse costs and latency. Streamkap's user-friendly interface and comprehensive support, including Slack Connect and 24/7 monitoring, make it an appealing choice for organizations seeking to transition to real-time data pipelines without compromising on reliability or support.
