Erathos delivers table-level ingestion control, observability for every run, and predictable pricing per row. Fivetran is the global category leader with over 700 connectors, but it operates as a black box with source-level configuration and MAR-based billing that has become unpredictable after recent price hikes. Choose Erathos for control and predictability; choose Fivetran for massive enterprise scale and heavy compliance.
Granular control: by table or by source
At Erathos, ingestion behavior is configured at the table or endpoint level: retries, custom backfill with filters, block window. You can adjust a problematic table without touching the rest of the pipeline. In Fivetran, configuration is mostly at the connector/source level, which offers less flexibility to handle individual tables.
Execution monitoring, freshness, and alerting
Erathos shows the complete history of each run, the freshness per table, and triggers error and inconsistency alerts directly to email, Slack, or Discord—without having to open logs. The idea is for you to know the status of your ingestion before the issue reaches downstream.
Pricing model and plans
Erathos charges per row moved, with predictable costs. Fivetran charges per MAR (Monthly Active Rows), and now per connector since March 2025 (which eliminated the aggregate volume discount, resulting in a 40% to 70% increase), and since January 2026 inserts, updates, and deletes count as paid rows. Seasonal peaks and high frequency make the bill hard to predict.
Connector coverage
Fivetran leads in catalog size (700+ fully managed connectors) and is unbeatable at that volume. Erathos has 100+ production-ready connectors, focusing on quality and native Brazilian sources (Bling, Omie, RD Station, Conta Azul, and others) that Fivetran does not cover.
Execution success rate and support
Erathos maintains a 98% execution success rate, featuring a proprietary failure detection and error correction mechanism that resolves issues before they result in corrupted downstream data. To be fair, competing with Fivetran's ten years in the market is tough, as it is a mature and robust platform. Erathos's main differentiator is proximity: as a younger company closer to its customers, we provide direct support in pt-BR whenever unexpected issues arise.
