Summary

Fivetran and Stitch are both automated ELT solutions that have been commonly evaluated by customers searching for cloud data integration tools. However, they differ in their approaches to handling automated ELT and pricing models. While Stitch uses raw rows for its pricing model, Fivetran uses active rows, which only counts one "active" row regardless of the number of updates or deletes. Additionally, Fivetran has removed its minimum spend requirements and offers online purchasing through credit cards. Both platforms provide some pre-load transformations, but only Fivetran provides post-load transformation options for additional modeling with off-the-shelf data models.
