The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Integromat the free plan enforces a 15 minute minimum interval between runs, so nothing near real time is possible without paying; Fivetran billed on monthly active rows, so the bill tracks how much source data changes rather than how much is stored or queried
  • They diverge on capability: Integromat covers Visual workflow builder, Fivetran covers Automated data pipeline.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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

Fivetran

  • Billed on monthly active rows, so the bill tracks how much source data changes rather than how much is stored or queried
  • Each connection follows its own cost curve, so total spend is hard to predict before running a pipeline
  • The free plan allows 500,000 monthly active rows, 3,500 activation rows and 5,000 model runs
  • Transformations are metered separately, from $0.01 per model run above 5,000 down to $0.002 above 100,000
  • A schema change upstream that touches many rows raises the bill without any change on the customer's side
