Vendor
Portable
Portable specialises in the long tail, with a catalogue stated as 1500+ connectors covering niche SaaS sources that Fivetran and Airbyte do not. Pricing is a fixed monthly plan fee with a data-flow allowance: Standard $1,800 / month for 6 enabled data flows, Pro $2,800 for 15, Advanced $4,200 for 25, Enterprise quoted. Data volume is not metered on any plan, which makes Portable cheap for high-volume, narrow-source workloads.source - pulled 2026-09-22
Pricing model
Fixed monthly fee per plan, metered on enabled data flows rather than rows: Standard $1,800/month for 6 flows, Pro $2,800/month for 15, Advanced $4,200/month for 25, Enterprise quoted. A flow is one unique source-destination pair. Data volume is not metered on any plan.

2026 changes
The $200-per-connector model is gone. Pricing is now a fixed monthly plan fee with a data-flow allowance, and there is no free tier: the entry route is a 14-day trial. The catalogue is stated as 1500+ connectors, and Portable serves United States customers only.

Pricing in detail
Get the unit right, because it changed. The meter is the enabled data flow, not the connector. Portable defines a flow as one unique source-destination pair, so a Stripe source feeding both Snowflake and BigQuery is two flows off a single connector. Count pairs, not sources, when sizing a plan.
Row volume genuinely is not metered. Portable states it has no data volume caps and that a higher volume does not raise the bill, so the whole subscription line is the plan fee. That makes Portable the only vendor on this site whose bill does not move with MAR at all.
The tiers buy sync frequency and support alongside flow headroom: Standard syncs every 1 hour with 9-5 support, Pro and Advanced sync every 15 minutes with cron scheduling, 24x7 premium support, developer API and webhooks. Integration services (bespoke connector builds) are included on Pro and Advanced and are a $2,000 / month add-on on Standard, which also gets the first 3 months included.
Two constraints worth knowing before shortlisting. There is no free tier, only a 14-day trial. And Portable states it supports clients based in the United States only, with a waitlist elsewhere.
When to pick Portable
Pick Portable when the source list includes niche SaaS that Fivetran and Airbyte do not cover, and when the volume on those sources is high enough that a metered vendor would charge more than the plan fee. Combine Portable for the long tail with Fivetran or Airbyte for the mainstream sources.
Avoid Portable below six real data flows. The entry price is $1,800 / month whether the account runs one flow or six, so a team with two niche sources is paying for headroom it will not use. Also rule it out if the business is not US-based, because Portable states it supports United States clients only.
Mid-market estimate
For a 50M-MAR mid-market profile, the published rate produces an estimated subscription line of $2,800/mo. Pro at $2,800/month, the first published tier that covers a 10-flow requirement (15 flows included). Row volume is not metered, so the figure does not move with MAR.source - pulled 2026-09-22Run the full TCO at /tco-calculator.
