Airbyte pricing guide details
Pricing Overview
Airbyte offers free self-hosted Core and four managed plans: Standard, Plus, Pro and Enterprise Flex. Choose between running the service yourself, paying for data volume, or buying dedicated capacity. A lower bill than Fivetran depends on your source mix, usage and operating costs; it is not a general savings percentage.
Plan Comparison
Airbyte’s pricing page lists Standard, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise Flex. Standard and Plus are fully managed cloud plans billed by data volume. Pro and Enterprise Flex use capacity-based pricing built on Data Workers, which Airbyte describes as dedicated compute units that power pipelines. The page offers a 14-day free trial with 400 credits; no credit card is required.

|---|---|---|---|

| Plus | 40 credits for $189/month; 100 credits for $449/month, 250 for $999/month, 500 for $1,799/month, 1,000 for $3,199/month, and 2,000 for $4,999/month; overage is $5.00/credit | Fully managed cloud | Includes Standard features plus SSO, field renaming, 15-minute syncs, 2 workspaces, and priority support with a 24-hour response SLA. |
| Pro | Custom; Airbyte says to talk to sales for capacity-based pricing | Fully managed cloud | Multiple workspaces, SSO, RBAC, custom mappings, up to 5-minute sync frequency, and premium support with 12-hour critical and 24-hour general response targets. |
| Enterprise Flex | Custom; Airbyte says to talk to sales for in-boundary deployment | In-boundary and hybrid deployment; available on-premises and multi-region | Sovereign data movement inside the customer’s boundary, an Airbyte-managed control plane, Pro features, and premium support with 12-hour critical and 24-hour general response targets. |
For customers consuming 40 or more credits monthly, Airbyte says Plus will typically be more affordable than Standard. Plus uses fixed monthly credit packages, while Standard retains volume-based pricing.
The public documentation does not disclose a public Pro or Enterprise Flex amount, a Data Worker rate, a capacity commitment, or a quote term. Buyers evaluating Pro should confirm the capacity-based price and licensing details with Airbyte. Buyers evaluating Enterprise Flex should confirm the in-boundary deployment terms, capacity, and licensing details. Airbyte Core is free to self-host. Hosting and operations remain your responsibility; the managed plans include hosting, upgrades and support.
Hidden Costs and Considerations
Airbyte uses different pricing models across its managed plans. Standard and Plus use volume-based pricing, while Pro uses capacity-based pricing built on Data Workers. This means the pricing considerations depend on the plan: data volume is the stated basis for Standard and Plus, whereas Pro pricing scales by adding compute capacity rather than by data moved.
