Etlworks vs. Stitch
More Than Just Data Sync — A Complete Integration Platform
Side-by-side comparison
Two Easy Starts — Only One Built for Growth
Both Etlworks and Stitch make it easy to get started with basic data sync and cloud loading. But while Stitch is focused narrowly on simple ELT pipelines with a limited connector set, Etlworks delivers a complete, scalable platform that grows with your needs — from ETL to CDC, API integration, EDI processing, and real-time streaming.
Difference
Why Etlworks Stands Out
Full Integration Capabilities, Not Just Ingestion
Stitch is built for basic ELT and cloud data sync — and stops there. Etlworks provides full ETL, ELT, reverse ETL, CDC, API integration, B2B/EDI workflows, file-based ingestion, real-time event streaming, and much more — all within one platform, without needing third-party tools.
Broader Connector Coverage and Workflow Flexibility
While Stitch supports around 140 connectors focused mostly on SaaS apps, Etlworks connects to over 260 sources and destinations — including SaaS apps, databases, filesystems, IoT brokers, message queues, and APIs — enabling far more complex and customized workflows.
Predictable Pricing, Broader Value
Although initial Stitch pricing appears low, it scales quickly with usage and lacks full cost transparency. Etlworks offers fixed, predictable pricing starting at $300 per month, ensuring you know exactly what you’re paying for — and delivering far more functionality at every tier.
Built for Companies That Need More Than Data Sync
For teams that just need basic data loading into a warehouse, Stitch may work initially. But as soon as your needs expand — whether it’s running transformations, managing APIs, building workflows, or integrating on-premise and cloud systems — Etlworks is ready without needing to switch platforms or rearchitect your pipelines.
From Basic Sync to Full-Scale Integration
While Stitch offers an easy start for cloud data loading, Etlworks offers a complete integration platform designed for long-term success. Full ETL, ELT, reverse ETL, API management, EDI, streaming, workflow automation — everything you need to grow your data operations without limits.
