Fivetran charges for monthly active rows, or MAR: each distinct row added, changed or deleted in a month, counted once. Each connection has its own price curve, with a $5.00 base charge. On Standard, 1 million MAR costs $500.00, and the rate per million falls as volume grows.
These are worked examples at list price, one per company type, using the example numbers shown. They aren’t client results. Rows that change each month vary a lot between companies, so use Fivetran’s free trial to read your real MAR, then put those numbers into the calculator.

| 5-person startupThree SaaS sources with low change volumes. | $0.00 |
| 20-person seed SaaSFive SaaS sources plus the production database. | $896.25 |
| 50 to 100 person B2B SaaSCRM, billing, support and marketing sources, plus one busy database. | $2,000 |
| 200 to 500 person companyMore sources, three large databases and a growing dbt project. | $7,787 |
| Enterprise, 1,000+ usersEnterprise plan, 40 SaaS sources and eight very large tables or databases. | $49,598 |
| Mobile app, 1M monthly usersA handful of SaaS sources and one large product database. | $2,548 |
| Agency with many clientsOne account with 30 small client connections. | $595.49 |
A hypothetical 50 to 100 person B2B SaaS company is on Standard. Eight SaaS connections change 200,000 rows each a month, one database changes 5 million rows, and dbt models run 15,000 times.
The estimate is $2,000 a month at list price. One busy database costs more than all eight SaaS connections together, so that table is the first place to look.
Fivetran’s Service Consumption Table prices each connection on a curve. On Standard, a connection with 1 million MAR costs $500.00, 4 million costs $1,010 and 16 million costs $1,706. Enterprise and Business Critical cost more at each point. The first 5,000 model runs a month are free.

Users are unlimited on Standard, so more people don’t change the bill. Fivetran charges for the rows that change, connection by connection. A company with five people and one busy event table can pay more than a company with 500 people whose CRM data barely changes from month to month.
A monthly active row is a distinct primary key that was added, updated or deleted in the month. It counts once, however many times it changes. A row updated 30 times is one MAR, but it’s counted separately on each connection, so syncing the same table to two destinations counts it twice.
Tables that change often. A status column that touches every row each day makes the whole table active. History mode adds more, since repeated updates to a row count as extra rows. Deletes count too. Splitting data across many connections also costs more, because each connection starts on its own curve.
Sync only the tables and columns you use, since unused tables still count when they change. Check which connections and tables drive MAR in the usage dashboard. Use soft delete or live mode instead of history mode where you don’t need every past value, because repeated updates then stop counting as paid rows.
Yes. Initial syncs don’t cost anything for the historical data they load, and each new connection gets 14 days of free usage. Paid rows start with the changes after that. So a large history backfill is free, and your first bills show the normal monthly change rate for that source.
Most of a Fivetran bill comes from a few tables. Our Fivetran implementation work sets up connections and sync settings at a fixed price.
