Airbyte pricing

Airbyte publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 30 August 2026, Airbyte pricing is free across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Subscription
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Airbyte plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Airbyte pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	5	Entry tier
Individual	$29/month	4	+$29/month, 4 more features
Team	$299/month	5	+$270/month, 4 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Automation Integration

Too few automation integration tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Airbyte entry price against other Automation Integration tools

Airbyte (this page)	Free	subscription	-
HighByte Intelligence Hub	$18500/year	Per site per year	-	vs Airbyte

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Airbyte badges page.

Before you pay for Airbyte

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $299/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Airbyte runs on web, self-hosted, and is published by Airbyte of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Airbyte review, and the rest of the category is under best automation integration tools.
