European Alternatives to Fivetran
Looking for a European alternative to Fivetran? Fivetran Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Oakland, California, and its Master Subscription Agreement is governed by California law, with every legal action to be brought in the courts of San Francisco or Alameda County.
Eleven European tools cover the job: managed ELT and connector platforms, marketing-data pipelines, an SAP extractor, an orchestrator and a Python-first option, from companies in Denmark, the Czech Republic, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Austria, France and the United Kingdom.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Fivetran Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Oakland, and its agreement is governed by California law with courts in San Francisco or Alameda County.
- Weld (Copenhagen) is the closest in shape to Fivetran: managed ELT, reverse ETL and change data capture under Danish law, with a 14-day trial and plans from $99 a month billed annually.
- Keboola (Prague) has a free plan with real compute and covers extraction, transformation and orchestration in one place, under Czech law.
- Supermetrics, Funnel and Adverity are marketing-data pipelines, not general ELT. Supermetrics starts at €39 a month on yearly billing and Funnel at €280, and Adverity quotes per customer.
- Kestra (an orchestrator), Theobald (SAP only) and dltHub (a Python library) are narrower, and each needs more engineering than Fivetran does.
- Fivetran is stronger on connector breadth, with 700+ on its Standard plan, and on a free tier that carries up to 500,000 rows a month.
Why people leave Fivetran
Fivetran is the managed ELT service most data teams meet first. You pick a source (a SaaS app or a database), pick a destination (a warehouse or a lake), and it keeps a copy in sync without you writing the extraction code.
Its pricing page lists a free plan up to 500,000 monthly active rows, a Standard plan with 700+ managed connectors and 15-minute syncs, and Enterprise and Business Critical plans above that, with a 14-day trial on each new connection.
The contract is with Fivetran Inc., which its Master Subscription Agreement describes as a Delaware corporation.
The same agreement chooses the law of California, says any legal action must be brought in the federal or state courts in San Francisco or Alameda Counties, and lets the prevailing party recover its legal fees. Fivetran is headquartered in Oakland. Its data processing addendum uses the EU standard contractual clauses under Irish law for transfers, but that governs the transfer, not the main agreement.
This page is about moving data from sources into a warehouse, which is what Fivetran sells. It is not about lakehouses and machine-learning platforms, which are on the Databricks page. Eleven European tools qualify. They are not equally close: five behave like Fivetran (managed connectors, a pipeline you can run without code), three are built for marketing data, and three are narrower: an orchestrator, an SAP extractor and a Python library.
- The agreement is with a Delaware company and Californian courts Fivetran Inc. is the contracting party, California law applies, and a dispute has to be brought in San Francisco or Alameda County. For a company that wants its data-processing supplier under EU, UK or Swiss contract law, with a court nearby, that is a real gap. The European tools here contract through entities in Denmark, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Austria, France or the United Kingdom, and for Supermetrics and Funnel the terms point to Finnish or Swedish law.
- Usage-based billing is hard to forecast Fivetran charges by monthly active rows. Its own pricing page shows four connectors with median usage costing $511.15 a month, with one of them, Marketo, at $424.54. The agreement also lets Fivetran add a 3% surcharge for card payments, treats fees as non-cancelable and non-refundable, and renews each order for a year unless you give notice 60 days before expiry. Weld, Supermetrics, Funnel and Y42 publish an entry price, which makes a first budget easier to write.
- A US cloud supplier sits in the middle of your data Fivetran copies customer data through its own platform. It can place its Enterprise plan on a cloud of your choice and offers a hybrid deployment, but the contract is still with Fivetran Inc. Several European tools here keep the data path in your hands instead: Kestra and dlt run wherever you run them, Theobald installs on your own systems, and Keboola, Peliqan and Matillion offer deployment options in your own cloud on higher plans.
- European tools differ on what they actually replace Weld and Peliqan are the closest to Fivetran in shape: managed connectors, a warehouse destination and no code. Keboola and Matillion add transformation in the same tool. Supermetrics, Funnel and Adverity are for marketing and advertising data. Kestra and dlt are for engineers who would write the extraction themselves. Choose by what you replace, not by the headline price.
What you have to replace, not just match
List what Fivetran actually syncs: which sources, how many connectors, how often, how many rows a month, and into which destination. Fivetran's 700+ connectors are the hardest thing to match, so check each of your sources against a European tool's connector list before you decide. A marketing team with six ad platforms and a Google Sheet has a very different shortlist from a company replicating a production database.
Run the new tool next to Fivetran for a month on the same sources, compare the row counts in the destination and the bill, and only then cancel. Fivetran renews for a year unless you give 60 days notice, so look up your renewal date before you start, and note that historical backfills are the expensive part on every tool that bills by rows.

How each alternative compares to Fivetran
Weld
the closest like-for-like managed ELT, under Danish law
- Which law reaches it. EU (Denmark). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. EU hosting options with Frankfurt preferred for EU customers; processing is ephemeral and customer data is not retained beyond the sync.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001.
Best for: Analytics teams that want managed ELT into a warehouse, with reverse ETL, and a published price
Weld is run by Weld Technologies ApS, CVR 41978104, in Copenhagen. Its terms of service (last updated 8 September 2026) name Weld Technologies ApS as the party, state that Danish law applies and give the Danish courts exclusive jurisdiction.
Its pricing page lists Basic from $99 a month, Premium from $389 and Business from $959, billed annually, with $19 a month for each extra user, and every plan has a 14-day free trial. New sources are not charged for rows during the first 14 days, so the initial load does not count towards your usage. The platform covers ELT, reverse ETL back into business tools, and change data capture, and it has a page for people switching from Fivetran.
Weld counts monthly active rows like Fivetran does, so the billing model is similar. The difference is the contract and the visible entry price.
What Weld does better than Fivetran
- Danish company under Danish law and courts, where Fivetran is a Delaware company under California law
- Entry plans published from $99 a month, where Fivetran lists a free plan and per-connector examples
- Reverse ETL and change data capture in the same product
- Trial period in which the first 14 days of row usage are not charged
Where Weld is a step down from Fivetran
- A smaller connector catalogue than Fivetran's 700+
- Also bills by monthly active rows, so cost can still jump with volume
- Fewer enterprise features published, such as customer-managed keys
- Plans are metered by users and connectors as well as rows, so check the limits of the plan you need
Standout against Fivetran. It is the only tool here that is built on the same monthly-active-rows model as Fivetran, with the contract in Denmark.
Keboola
a free plan and one platform for extraction, transformation and orchestration
- Which law reaches it. EU (Czech Republic). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Multi-cloud on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; free-plan projects run on Microsoft Azure in the EU, and enterprise contracts can pin the provider, the region or a private cloud.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA, listed against the Enterprise tier.
Best for: Teams that want pipelines and transformation in one place and want to start free
Keboola Czech s.r.o. runs the platform from Prague. Its free-plan terms of service name Keboola Czech s.r.o. as the party and say the laws of the Czech Republic apply, with exclusive jurisdiction of the Czech courts.
The pricing page describes a free plan with 120 minutes of compute in the first month and 60 minutes a month after that, with extra time at $0.14 a minute. The default platform is multi-cloud across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and free-plan projects run on Azure in the EU. Enterprise customers can choose the provider and region or a private cloud, and the page lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA compliance at that tier.
It does more than Fivetran: transformation and orchestration are part of it. That also means more to learn.
What Keboola does better than Fivetran
- Czech company under Czech law and courts
- Free plan with compute included, with no card required
- Transformation and orchestration in the same platform
- Enterprise option for your own cloud or a chosen region
Where Keboola is a step down from Fivetran
- Fewer managed connectors than Fivetran's 700+, and a broader product to learn
- Billing is by compute minutes, which is not the same as rows and needs its own forecast
- Default platform is multi-cloud, so EU hosting is guaranteed only on the free plan or by contract
- Fivetran is simpler if you only want connectors
Standout against Fivetran. It is the only tool here that gives free compute time and a full platform, not just a trial.
Supermetrics
marketing-data pipelines with published prices, under Finnish law
- Which law reaches it. EU (Finland). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Processed on AWS and Google Cloud servers in the EU; sub-processors may process outside the EEA under standard contractual clauses, and integration data is not permanently stored.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001, annual SOC 2 Type II audits, GDPR and CCPA.
Best for: Marketing teams moving ad and analytics data into Sheets, BI tools or a warehouse
Supermetrics is a Helsinki company. Its terms say they are an annex to the agreement with "the Supermetrics entity listed in the Order Form", so the exact entity depends on your order, and they are governed by the laws of Finland, with arbitration under the rules of the Finland Chamber of Commerce, seated in Helsinki.
Its pricing page lists Starter from €39 a month on yearly billing or €49 monthly, with one core destination, from a list including Google Sheets, Excel, Power BI, Looker Studio and AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude. More destinations, users and data sources are priced as add-ons.
It is built for marketing data. If you sync production databases, it is the wrong tool.
What Supermetrics does better than Fivetran
- Finnish law and a Helsinki arbitration seat
- Entry price published at €39 a month
- Direct destinations in spreadsheets and BI tools, not only warehouses
- Built around the marketing data sources a team actually uses
Where Supermetrics is a step down from Fivetran
- Not general ELT, and not suited to database replication
- Contracting entity is set per order, so check it before signing
- Add-ons for destinations and users can raise the real price well above the entry plan
- Fewer connectors than Fivetran across non-marketing sources
Standout against Fivetran. It sends marketing data straight into Sheets, Excel and BI tools, where Fivetran is built around warehouses.
Peliqan
connectors plus a built-in warehouse, from Ghent
- Which law reaches it. EU (Belgium). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. SaaS with optional private-cloud deployment on Kubernetes; a single-tenant Private Sovereign Cloud on certified European sovereign infrastructure adds region-locked storage and zero data egress.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR.
Best for: Small teams that want ingestion, a warehouse and transformations in one product
Peliqan is the product name of the platforms built by Peliqan BV, Grauwpoort 1, Ghent, Belgium (BE0784446918), according to its privacy policy, version 1.5 of 7 August 2026.
Its site lists 300+ connectors, a built-in data warehouse, low-code Python, data syncs, transformations, a federated query engine and a 14-day free trial with no credit card. A white-label offer starts at €1,500 a month. The price table for the normal plans was not shown when this page was checked, and the terms page rendered no text, so no price is given and the governing law is not stated.
It has a page comparing itself to Fivetran, but the claims there are its own.
What Peliqan does better than Fivetran
- Belgian company with an EU registration number
- Built-in warehouse, so a small team needs no separate destination
- 14-day trial with no credit card
- Python and transformations in the same tool
Where Peliqan is a step down from Fivetran
- 300+ connectors against Fivetran's 700+
- Prices and terms could not be read, so cost and governing law are unverified here
- A broader platform than a pure connector service
- No published price for the normal plans
Standout against Fivetran. It bundles a warehouse with the connectors, which Fivetran does not.
Y42
git-based pipelines from Berlin, with a $500 entry plan
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. GDPR; no security certification published on the pages checked.
Best for: Analytics engineers who want pipelines, SQL and Python managed in git
Y42 GmbH is registered in Berlin (HRB 276302 B, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Seydelstr. 10A), according to its imprint. Its terms of service are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Its pricing page lists Business from $500 a month with two spaces and three users, with a declarative orchestrator, git integration and SQL, dbt Core and Python assets. Hosted ingestion connectors are an add-on, powered by cData, from $15 per million rows ingested. You can also write your own ingestion in Python.
The imprint is dated 2022 and the pricing page does not name a data-hosting region, so ask about hosting.
What Y42 does better than Fivetran
- German company under German law
- Pipelines, SQL and Python in one git-based workspace
- Prices published on the pricing page
- Pay-per-row connectors as an add-on, so you can start without them
Where Y42 is a step down from Fivetran
- Hosted connectors are powered by a third party (cData), whose location was not checked
- $500 a month entry plan is high for a small team
- Not a pure managed-connector service like Fivetran
Standout against Fivetran. Pipelines are defined in git, with orchestration, SQL and Python in one place.
Funnel
marketing data hub with the price visible
- Which law reaches it. EU (Sweden). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Customers on selected subscriptions choose whether their data is hosted in the EU or the US.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and CCPA.
Best for: Marketing teams whose channel mix changes often
Funnel is run by Funnel AB (registration number 559062-1263), Klarabergsgatan 29, Stockholm. Its general terms say Swedish law applies where Funnel AB is the party, with arbitration under the rules of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. For customers in the Americas, Australia and New Zealand the party is Funnel, Inc., so check which entity is on your order.
Its pricing page lists Starter from €280 a month billed annually, with 117 connectors and 13 destinations, and a next plan from €560 with 579 connectors and 46 destinations. Funnel focuses on marketing data, plus a reporting layer.
It does not offer a free plan or trial in the pages checked.
What Funnel does better than Fivetran
- Swedish company under Swedish law for European customers
- Entry price published at €280 a month with a clear connector count
- A strong catalogue of marketing and advertising connectors
- Data guarantee on connectors in higher plans
Where Funnel is a step down from Fivetran
- Not general ELT, and not for database replication
- Higher entry price than Supermetrics or Weld
- No free plan or trial seen on the pages checked
- Customers in some regions contract with a US entity
Standout against Fivetran. It prices by plan with a visible connector count, instead of by rows.
Matillion
low-code pipelines from Manchester, under English law
- Which law reaches it. UK. Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO/IEC 27001:2022, GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
Best for: Larger data teams already working in Snowflake, Databricks or BigQuery
Matillion Limited is registered in England and Wales (company number 07474948), with its address at Two New Bailey, Salford. Its general subscription agreement is governed by English law for customers outside the USA, with the English courts having exclusive jurisdiction. The United Kingdom is outside the EU.
Its pricing page lists Developer, Teams and Scale editions with a free trial, pre-built connectors, a low-code canvas with SQL and Python, a built-in git repository and, on Scale, custom SSO and hybrid cloud. Billing is by credits, and no per-credit price is published.
Check which entity is named on your order.
What Matillion does better than Fivetran
- English-law agreement, outside Californian courts
- Low-code canvas plus SQL and Python in one tool
- Hybrid cloud on the Scale edition
- Free trial
Where Matillion is a step down from Fivetran
- No published credit price, so cost cannot be forecast from the website
- The UK is not in the EU or the EEA
- More of a data-pipeline builder than a hands-off connector service
- Fewer managed connectors than Fivetran
Standout against Fivetran. It is the only tool here from the UK, with a low-code canvas that sits close to the warehouse.
Adverity
Austrian marketing data integration, quoted per customer
- Which law reaches it. EU (Austria). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Hosted by Adverity on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, in facilities in either the European Union or the United States at the customer's choice; data can also be landed in the customer's own Snowflake or BigQuery.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and UK GDPR.
Best for: Marketing and data teams that need transformation and governance on advertising data
Adverity GmbH is a Vienna company. Its terms of use are governed exclusively by Austrian law, with the forum in Vienna, Austria.
It describes a marketing data integration platform, with connectors, transformation and a knowledge layer for marketing data. Its terms list sub-processors including Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd for hosting infrastructure and OpenAI Ireland Ltd for AI functions, when those are in use.
Adverity does not publish prices or a free plan, so you have to ask for a quote.
What Adverity does better than Fivetran
- Austrian company under Austrian law with a Vienna forum
- Transformation and governance aimed at marketing data
- Sub-processors listed in its own terms
- Terms with a Vienna forum, not a US court
Where Adverity is a step down from Fivetran
- No published prices and no free plan
- Focused on marketing, so weak as a general replacement
- Fewer managed connectors than Fivetran across non-marketing sources
- Sub-processors include US-linked AI providers when AI features are on
Standout against Fivetran. Its terms publish the sub-processor list, including who handles hosting and AI features.
- Which law reaches it. EU (France). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Your own infrastructure, or EU cloud.
- Source code. Open source, where Fivetran is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
Best for: Engineering teams that want to run pipelines wherever they choose
Kestra Technologies, at 81 rue du Pré Catelan in La Madeleine, France, is named as the data controller in its privacy policy. Its open-source edition is Apache 2.0. Its terms page returned a 404 when this page was checked, so the governing law of a paid contract is not confirmed here.
Its pricing page lists Open Source, Cloud and Enterprise editions, with declarative workflows, 2,100+ plugins, event-driven scheduling and the option to run on the cloud, on-premises or air-gapped.
It schedules, retries and versions your pipelines, but it does not maintain a catalogue of managed connectors the way Fivetran does.
What Kestra does better than Fivetran
- Open source under Apache 2.0, with no row-based billing on the free edition
- Runs anywhere, including air-gapped
- French company named in its own privacy policy
- Workflows live in your own git repository
Where Kestra is a step down from Fivetran
- Not a managed connector service, so extraction is your work
- Needs engineering skills to run and maintain
- Terms were not available, so the contract could not be checked
- No built-in destination or warehouse
Standout against Fivetran. It is the only orchestrator here, and the open-source edition has no row or flow limit.
Theobald Software
SAP extraction from Stuttgart, for SAP-heavy teams
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Customer-installed software rather than a hosted platform; Theobald describes its SAP integrations as running on-premises or in the customer's cloud.
- Source code. Closed source, as Fivetran is.
- Independently checked. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 covering the full software lifecycle, certificate DE-IS-20260232 issued by Proks Certification GmbH, plus SAP certification.
Best for: Companies whose main source is SAP and who run the software on their own systems
Theobald Software GmbH is registered at Amtsgericht Stuttgart (HRB 25392), at Kernerstrasse 50 in Stuttgart, according to its legal notice. Its product line includes Xtract Universal, Xtract IS and ERPConnect, aimed at extracting data from SAP.
Its site offers a free trial. A price page returned a 404 and no prices are published, and its general terms were not opened for this page, so the governing law is not confirmed.
It is a specialist. If your Fivetran connections are mostly SaaS apps, it is not a substitute.
What Theobald Software does better than Fivetran
- German company with a full legal notice and register number
- Deep SAP extraction as its main purpose
- Software you install yourself, so the data path is in your hands
- Free trial offered on the site
Where Theobald Software is a step down from Fivetran
- Only useful for SAP data, not a general connector catalogue
- No published prices
- Terms and governing law not checked here
- You run it yourself, so there is no hosted service to hand over to
Standout against Fivetran. It is built around SAP extraction, which is a narrow job where a general ELT tool often falls short.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Fivetran Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, United States, and run from Oakland, California, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Managed workspaces can be pinned to the EU or the US; the control plane itself runs in AWS's Northern Virginia region regardless of which one is chosen, and customer pipeline data stays in the selected region.
- Source code. Open source, where Fivetran is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
- Independently checked. SOC 2 Type I; SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 in progress.
Best for: Data engineers who want pipelines as code and full control of where they run
dlt is an Apache 2.0 Python library for loading data. dltHub is the managed platform around it. Its imprint lists ScaleVector GmbH at Rosenthaler Str. 36 in Berlin (HRB 241116 B) and also dltHub Inc. in New York. Its terms do not name the contracting entity, and say English law and the courts of England apply for customers in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland.
The pricing page lists the dlt library as free, and the dltHub platform at $12,000 a month on a 12-month minimum with 5,000 credits, plus a 14-day trial with $30 in credits. That is far above what a small team pays for connectors.
Because a US entity is also listed, treat dltHub as the least clear case on the contract question.
What dltHub does better than Fivetran
- Apache 2.0 library with no row or seat limit
- Runs wherever Python runs
- Pipelines in code, versioned in git
- English law and English courts for EEA customers
Where dltHub is a step down from Fivetran
- The contracting entity is not named in the terms, and a US entity is listed beside the German one
- $12,000 a month for the managed platform
- Not a managed connector catalogue
- Needs engineers who write Python
Standout against Fivetran. The library is free to use and the pipelines are plain Python.
What actually breaks when you switch
The hardest part of leaving Fivetran is connector coverage, not the contract. Fivetran lists 700+ managed connectors and the European tools list fewer, so check your actual sources one by one, including the less common ones, before you commit to a replacement.
Fivetran renews each order for a year unless you give notice 60 days before it expires, and fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Look up your renewal date first, and plan the parallel run so that it ends before that notice window.
Billing models differ. Weld bills by monthly active rows, Keboola by compute minutes, Funnel and Supermetrics by plan, and Matillion by credits. A tool with a lower sticker price can cost more once your volume, history loads or extra destinations are included.
Which European tool works most like Fivetran?
Weld, in Copenhagen, is the nearest like-for-like: managed connectors into Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift or Postgres, reverse ETL back out to business tools, log-based change data capture, a 14-day trial in which row usage is not charged, and a "Switch from Fivetran" page on its own site. Peliqan, in Ghent, offers 300+ connectors with a built-in warehouse.
Neither matches Fivetran's 700+ connector catalogue, so check your list before moving.
Can I try one of these without a contract?
Yes, several. Keboola has a free plan with 120 minutes of compute in the first month and 60 a month after that. Weld, Peliqan, Supermetrics and dltHub advertise a 14-day trial, and Peliqan asks for no credit card. Matillion offers a free trial, Theobald offers a free trial, and Kestra and dlt are open source and free to run yourself.
Funnel and Adverity do not publish a free plan or trial in the pages checked, so a demo or a quote comes first.
Are the three marketing-data tools a replacement for Fivetran?
Only if your Fivetran use is mostly advertising and analytics data. Supermetrics sends data to spreadsheets, BI tools and warehouses, Funnel is a marketing data hub with 117 connectors in its entry plan, and Adverity adds transformation for marketing teams. If you also replicate production databases or finance systems, you need one of the general tools above them.
Prices are published for Supermetrics (from €39 a month billed yearly) and Funnel (from €280 a month billed annually). Adverity quotes per customer.
Does a European company always mean European hosting?
No, and the pages checked say so. Keboola's free-plan projects run on Azure in the EU, but its default platform is multi-cloud across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Y42 offers hosted connectors powered by a third party, cData, as a separate add-on whose location was not checked. dltHub's imprint lists a New York entity beside the Berlin one. The contract entity and the hosting location are two different questions.
Ask each vendor for the sub-processor list and for the region your pipelines will run in, and read the data processing agreement, not only the terms.
Which one to pick
If you want the nearest thing to Fivetran, Weld is the one: managed ELT with reverse ETL and change data capture, a 14-day trial, a visible price from $99 a month and a Danish contract. Keboola is the better choice if you also want transformation and orchestration, or want to start on a free plan.
If most of your data is advertising and analytics data, Supermetrics (from €39 a month) and Funnel (from €280) are built for it, and Adverity is the quoted alternative with an Austrian contract. Peliqan and Y42 are the ones to try if you want connectors and a warehouse or git-based pipelines in the same tool, and Matillion fits larger teams that are comfortable with an English-law contract.
Kestra, Theobald and dltHub are narrower. Choose Kestra to run pipelines you write yourself, Theobald for SAP, and dlt if your team writes Python and wants the library to stay free.
Be realistic about the gap. Fivetran has more connectors than any of these, and a free plan that covers up to 500,000 rows a month. Switch if you want a European or UK contracting party, a court close to home or a clearer entry price, and keep Fivetran if the connectors you rely on have no European equivalent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Weld is the closest like-for-like for general ELT, with managed connectors, reverse ETL and a 14-day trial under Danish law. Keboola is the better choice if you want transformation and orchestration in the same platform and a free plan. For marketing data only, look at Supermetrics or Funnel, and for SAP at Theobald.
No. Its Master Subscription Agreement is made with Fivetran Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fivetran's global headquarters is in Oakland, California. The agreement is governed by California law, with legal action brought in the courts of San Francisco or Alameda County.
There is a free plan up to 500,000 monthly active rows for connections. Paid plans bill per monthly active row, and Fivetran's own example puts four connectors (Facebook Ads, Google Analytics 4, Marketo and Google Ads) at $511.15 a month on the Standard plan for a company with 1 to 200 employees. Each new connection has a 14-day free trial, and the agreement allows a 3% surcharge for card payments.
Weld lists Basic from $99 a month, Premium from $389 and Business from $959, billed annually, plus $19 a month for each extra user, with a 14-day free trial. Supermetrics lists Starter at €39 a month billed yearly or €49 billed monthly, with one core destination.
Funnel lists Starter from €280 a month billed annually with 117 connectors and 13 destinations, and a next plan from €560. Y42 lists Business from $500 a month with two spaces and three users, and hosted connectors from $15 per million rows. dltHub's platform is $12,000 a month on a 12-month minimum, while the dlt library is free under Apache 2.0.
Its free plan gives 120 minutes of compute in the first month and 60 minutes a month after that, with more at $0.14 a minute. The company is Keboola Czech s.r.o., and the free-plan terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, with Czech courts. Free-plan projects are hosted on Azure in the EU.
Weld, Supermetrics, Funnel, Y42 and dltHub show prices on their own pages, and Keboola shows its free-plan terms and per-minute rate. Matillion bills by credits without a per-credit price, Adverity quotes per customer, and Peliqan's price table could not be read when this page was checked, so no figure is given for it beyond a white-label offer from €1,500 a month.
It is British. The general subscription agreement is with Matillion Limited, registered in England and Wales (company number 07474948), and it is governed by English law for customers outside the USA. The United Kingdom is outside the EU and the EEA, so check which entity your order names.
Kestra (Apache 2.0) is a workflow orchestrator, and dlt (Apache 2.0) is a Python library that loads data into a destination. Both are free to run, but neither is a managed connector catalogue: you write or configure the extraction yourself, and you run it. Kestra's managed cloud and dltHub's paid platform are separate products.
There is no import tool across vendors. You recreate each connection in the new tool, point it at the same destination schema or a new one, and compare results. Weld publishes a "Switch from Fivetran" page, but the move is still a rebuild of connections, not a file import.
