Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Airbyte
- The self-managed open source Core edition has no SSO or RBAC, no multiple workspaces, no row filtering or encryption, and no monitoring integrations
- Sync frequency on Core is limited compared with the managed tiers, which offer 15 minute syncs
- Support on the free tier is community and AI only; premium support requires Pro or Enterprise
- The free Agents plan stops at 1,000 agent operations a month and pauses capacity until the next month once hit
- Agent overages are billed per operation at $0.004 to $0.005 once past the plan allowance
Integromat
- The free plan enforces a 15 minute minimum interval between runs, so nothing near real time is possible without paying
- Free is limited to 2 active scenarios, a 5 MB file size and 7 days of execution logs
- Billing is per credit where each module action counts as one, so a scenario with many steps consumes credits far faster than its run count suggests
- Make API access requires a paid plan
- Priority execution and full text log search are Pro features
- Overage protection is Enterprise only, so cheaper plans can run up charges
