Plans and Billing
Fivetran offers the following pricing plans:
- Free - Get all the features of our Standard plan up to 500,000 MAR and 5,000 model runs per month. We recommend this plan if you have very low data volumes or if you want to trial Fivetran on low volumes of data.
- Standard - Our most popular plan, Standard, is ideal for teams that need robust cross-departmental analytics.
- Enterprise - Access high-volume agent connectors, fastest sync times, and advanced user permissioning. Enterprise is ideal for data teams that need real-time data delivery and have strict governance requirements.
- Business Critical - Ensure the highest levels of data protection and compliance on Business Critical. This plan is most popular among large Enterprise businesses or anyone in the healthcare, insurance, and finance industries.
You can compare features across our five plans on our Pricing Features page. Also, to see examples of pricing in action, check out our Pricing Guide.

Hybrid Deployment
With the Hybrid Deployment model, you can process data within your own network while Fivetran acts as a unified control plane for all your data movements. This model is designed for organizations who must keep their data local for security or compliance reasons but still want to benefit from Fivetran's managed service.
We support Hybrid Deployment for multiple connectors and destinations. Learn more in our Hybrid Deployment documentation.
Plan renewal
If you are on our Standard plan and are using the enterprise database connectors, you must upgrade to the Enterprise plan during account renewal.
We apply these billing rules in the following plan-renewal scenarios:
| Renewal Scenario | Renewal rule |
|---|---|
| Renewal with a discounted rate | We bill you the discounted rate for the whole month when you renew your plan at a discounted rate during the month. |
| Renewal without a rollover | We bill your spend balance from the previous contract if you renew your plan without a rollover during the month. |
| Prorating between renewals | We do not prorate between renewals. At the end of the month, we apply any new contract terms and use your remaining spend balance accordingly. |
| Renewals for accounts on annual contracts signed before March 1, 2025 | For accounts with annual contracts signed before the March 2025 updates, we apply the new re-sync detection mechanism to your monthly usage when you renew your plan during the month. |
Plan conversions
You can change your pricing plan in the Billing & Usage section in your Fivetran dashboard. We will detail the changes that you will gain or lose with a Confirm upgrade or Confirm downgrade prompt.
Plan conversions are not available for Sales-assisted accounts and accounts that pay through a marketplace.
We bill you the cheapest plan rate for the whole month when you switch pricing plans.
Plan upgrades
Plan upgrades may require a payment submission. You will have to enter your payment information if upgrading from the Free plan.
Plan downgrades
Plan downgrades require acknowledging and consenting to losing features. We outline the features that you will be losing when downgrading your plan.
If you are using features that only exist on your current pricing plan, such as more than ten users on an account, you have to manually reduce the list of users before downgrading.
You need to confirm your consent to losing certain features.
Billing options
You can sign up for Fivetran on an annual contract or a monthly pay-as-you-go model.
The 14-day free trials for all new accounts can help you determine whether Fivetran meets your requirements before making any commitments.
Annual contracts
The annual contracted spend model is a subscription-based plan that requires an annual upfront purchase of contracted spend in bulk. Contracted spend is the total amount purchased as listed in the Order Form. Your contracted spend is consumed depending on your MAR usage for the month. The rate of consumption varies by your plan. See the rate of consumption for your plan in the Service Consumption Table.
With an annual contract, Standard, Enterprise, and Business Critical plans are available by default.
Discounts with annual contracts
We use a transparent discounting system for all customers signing up for annual contracts. The discount percentage is determined based on the total annual list price of your contract and the plan you opt for. Discounts start at 5%, with greater discounts available for contracts with a higher annual list price.
Your list price is the price before any discounts are applied. Discounts for annual contracts can be estimated using our Pricing Estimator.
The table below outlines discount rates that Fivetran offers depending on the annual list price of your purchase. The discount that will apply to your specific purchase will be displayed on your purchasing document.
| Plan | List Price | Discount | What you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $0 - $37,900 | 5% | $12,000 - $36,000 |
| $37,900 - $145,340 | 5% - 22.6% | $36,000 - $112,500 | |
| $145,340+ | 22.6%+ | $112,500+ | |
| Enterprise | $0 - $50,526 | 5% | $12,000 - $48,000 |
| $50,526 - $193,787 | 5% - 22.6% | $48,000 - $150,000 | |
| $193,787+ | 22.6%+ | $150,000+ | |
| Business Critical | $0 - $80,842 | 5% | $12,000 - $76,800 |

| $310,060+ | 36.42%+ | $197,138+ |
On all plans, greater discounts are available for annual contracts with a higher annual list price.
Monthly pay-as-you-go (PAYG)
The monthly PAYG plan is not subscription-based. You are billed monthly in arrears for usage during the prior monthly period. This plan offers flexibility as you can cancel anytime, and there is no MAR consumption minimum. With the monthly PAYG plan, the Free, Standard, Enterprise, and Business Critical plans are available by default.
You can purchase a monthly PAYG plan from:

Billing conversions
We apply these billing rules if you switch from a monthly pay-as-you-go plan to annual contracted spend, and vice versa:
- We bill you the annual rate for the whole month when you switch from the monthly pay-as-you-go plan to the annual contracted spend model.
- We bill you the pay-as-you-go rate for the whole month when you switch from the annual contracted spend model to the monthly pay-as-you-go plan.
- We bill you the pay-as-you-go rate for the whole month and pull usage from your remaining balance if you have a remaining balance when you switch from the annual contracted spend model to the monthly pay-as-you-go plan. We also expire any balance that would have been left over after the annual contract expired.
