The short version

  • Only GitHub has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Funnel.io available connectors are gated by plan, at 113 on Starter against 579 on Business, so which sources can be used depends on the tier rather than on need; GitHub acquired by Microsoft in 2018, reducing pure independence despite operational autonomy
  • They diverge on capability: Funnel.io covers Multi-channel data aggregation, GitHub covers Git repositories.
