Airbyte Disrupts Data Movement Technology Pricing, Breaks with Volume-Based Models

Aligns with modern data trends while delivering predictable value-based pricing that scales with customer needs

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Airbyte, the leading open-source data movement platform company, today became the first open data movement technology to offer customers predictable pricing based on capacity – rather than data volumes – to accommodate modern data needs for artificial intelligence (AI), data lakes, and real-time analytics.

A pilot rollout with customers over the past few months has met with overwhelmingly positive responses, plus the company gathered feedback from more than 500 organizations that cited issues with unpredictability and cost spikes with traditional volume pricing models.

“Volume-based pricing just doesn't work at scale, especially as organizations face a rapidly changing landscape driven by AI, data lakes, and real-time analytics,” said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder, Airbyte. “Unlike alternatives, our pricing is simplified, predictable, and aligned with customer value. Customers can scale their data operations with control without hurting their ability to innovate and experiment with new datasets.”

The new pricing applies to Airbyte Teams and Enterprise products with pricing determined by the number of connections/data sources, frequency of data refreshes (daily, hourly, real-time), and the pipeline scheduling requirements.

• For Airbyte Cloud, there are no changes because pay-as-you-go and credit-based pricing can work well for specific customers, especially smaller organizations with fewer data sources and more predictable data needs that benefit from not having to build and maintain that infrastructure themselves.

Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across almost any source and destination, helping enterprises provide their users with access to the correct data for analysis and decision-making. With more than 900 contributors and over 230,000 community members, Airbyte boasts the largest data engineering community and the industry’s only open data movement platform.
