Why teams use it

Key capabilities

  • CDC and streaming: Low-latency change data capture from operational databases.
  • 200+ connectors: Sources and destinations spanning databases, warehouses, and SaaS apps.
  • Usage-based pricing: Free up to 10GB/month, then priced per GB moved plus a per-connector fee.
Core areas

Core areas are change data capture, real-time stream processing, and batch ETL, unified in a single managed pipeline platform.

Positioning

Shortlist Estuary if you need both CDC and batch/streaming ETL from one platform rather than combining separate tools, and want usage-based pricing you can estimate from data volume and connector count.

Why it matters

Because pricing scales with data volume and connector count, use Estuary's own pricing calculator against your real data volumes before comparing it to per-row or per-credit competitors.
