| Pricing model | Ingest once. Pay once per GB. Use everywhere. | Pay per row, per month, per connector |
| Architecture | Collect once, emit to any destination — at no added cost | One pipeline per destination |
| Data replay | Full historical replay | Not available |
| New integrations | Add emitter instantly | Build new pipeline |
| Pipeline maintenance | Minimal | Build new pipeline |
Your MAR went up, your bill went up — and nothing about your business actually changed.
Same source, three connectors, three bills. You're paying for the same data more than once.
Your data team spends more time fixing pipelines than building new things on top of them.
You'd rather pay a flat per-GB rate than try to forecast Monthly Active Rows for the next fiscal year.
Fivetran creates a new pipeline for every destination. Matterbeam collects once and sends data anywhere.
Fivetran charges per connector and destination. Matterbeam charges once for ingestion.
Traditional pipelines transform data once. Matterbeam stores immutable logs you can replay anytime.
New integrations often become engineering projects. Matterbeam lets teams add destinations in minutes.
"We literally changed our company strategy based on what we can do with Matterbeam."
Before Matterbeam, Cyncly accepted that data projects took months or years. Then they saw data suddenly available everywhere they needed it, transformed however they wanted. Now they ask "can we use Matterbeam for this?" before every new project.
Matterbeam replaces pipeline-based infrastructure with reusable data flows so your team can move faster and spend less.
