Portable
Portable specialises in the long tail. The catalogue covers 1,300+ niche SaaS sources that Fivetran and Airbyte do not. Pricing is flat: $200 per connector per month on Starter, volume-tiered above. Row volume is not metered, which makes Portable cheap for high-volume / narrow-source workloads.source - pulled 2026-06-21

Pricing in detail
The flat per-connector model removes row-volume uncertainty. Ten long-tail connectors cost $2,000 / month regardless of how many rows they pull. For obscure SaaS sources that the major vendors do not cover, this is often the cheapest path because the alternative is custom-building an Airbyte connector at several weeks of engineering time.
Custom-connector SLA was cut to 5 business days in 2026 - competitive with self-build for any source with a usable API.
When to pick Portable
Pick Portable when the source list includes niche SaaS that Fivetran and Airbyte do not cover. Combine Portable for the long tail with Fivetran or Airbyte for the mainstream sources.
Avoid Portable as a primary tool - the catalogue is deep on long tail but narrower on mainstream warehouse-ELT sources.
Mid-market estimate
For a 50M-MAR mid-market profile, the published rate produces an estimated subscription line of $2,000/mo. 10 long-tail connectors at $200 each; row volume not metered.source - pulled 2026-06-21Run the full TCO at /tco-calculator.
