Etlworks vs. Jitterbit

Enterprise Integration Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Side-by-side comparison

Two Powerful Platforms, Two Different Approaches

Etlworks and Jitterbit are both robust platforms for ETL, API integration, workflow automation, and B2B/EDI. Both support a wide range of use cases, including cloud and on-premise deployment, API management, and drag-and-drop data transformations. However, Etlworks takes a more all-in-one, accessible approach — offering broader out-of-the-box capabilities, easier setup, native support for streaming and IoT, and transparent pricing that starts at a much lower cost. This makes it an attractive choice for teams that want to move fast without getting bogged down in sales cycles or enterprise pricing structures.

Why Etlworks Stands Out

Broader Capabilities for Less

Etlworks supports not just ETL and ELT but also full Reverse ETL, log-based CDC for multiple databases, native streaming with Kafka, MQTT, and message queues, plus deep support for complex document types — all in a single platform starting at just $300/month.

Lower Barrier to Entry

With transparent pricing, self-service signup, and no required sales call to get started, Etlworks removes friction for teams of all sizes. Try, test, and deploy at your pace — with the flexibility to scale when you’re ready.

Native IoT and Extended EDI Capabilities

Both Etlworks and Jitterbit offer strong support for EDI, including X12 and EDIFACT. Etlworks goes further by also supporting healthcare-specific formats like HL7 and FHIR, as well as native connectivity for IoT scenarios using MQTT brokers — enabling real-time data flows without custom development.

Simplified Integration at Scale

Etlworks includes built-in version control, multi-tenancy, RBAC, artifact patching, and AI-assisted mapping — all designed to reduce complexity as your data operations grow.

Smarter Integration Without the Overhead

Jitterbit and Etlworks both offer capable integration solutions, but Etlworks goes further — combining ETL, CDC, API integration, streaming, and EDI in a single, easy-to-use platform. With broader native capabilities, lower starting costs, faster onboarding, and fewer dependencies on professional services, Etlworks helps teams of any size launch and scale integrations with confidence. Whether you’re building your first data pipeline or automating hundreds of enterprise flows, Etlworks delivers the power you need — without the enterprise price tag or complexity.
