Overview

Skyvia brings together Data Integration, Automation, Backup, Query, and Connect. Data Integration covers ETL, ELT, Reverse ETL, imports, exports, replication, and synchronization across cloud apps, databases, storage, data warehouses, spreadsheets, and BI tools. More than 200 prebuilt connectors, plus custom REST and GraphQL connectors, give teams a wide starting range.

The service runs in a web browser. For local databases behind a firewall, a Windows Agent provides a secure gateway, making the cloud service usable in hybrid environments. Skyvia also supports API management and live access, including OData and SQL endpoints through Connect, as well as web API and MCP endpoint use cases.

Key features

Integration and automation

Real-time synchronization, change data capture, and incremental updates can keep ingested data current without relying only on periodic batch schedules. SQL transformations support cleaning, enrichment, analysis, and metric calculations. Automation uses visual workflows with triggers, actions, and logic components, which makes it relevant for teams coordinating data processes as well as moving data.

Backup and access

Backup offers automatic daily backups and manual backups on demand. Connect can publish data through OData and SQL endpoints for live access. The combination is useful when a team needs both protected copies and a way to make data available to other applications, though these capabilities sit in separate products and have their own plans.

Security and support

Skyvia says it encrypts private data at rest with AES 256-bit encryption and uses TLS in transit. It states that it is SOC 2 certified, HIPAA-ready, PCI DSS-compliant, and GDPR-compliant, and hosts the service on Microsoft Azure in a multi-tenant, fault-tolerant architecture. It provides a support portal for product, bug, purchasing, and licensing questions; Enterprise integration adds priority support and onboarding consultations.

Pricing

Skyvia has a free entry tier and paid plans, with separate pricing for its products. Registered accounts receive 14-day trials for all products, and annual billing is advertised at 20% off. The free integration plan is free and allows 10k records per month, two scheduled integrations, once-a-day scheduling, and 30-day schedule expiration. That is enough to explore modest, low-frequency workflows, but the record cap and schedule expiry constrain ongoing or larger jobs.

Paid integration plans increase scheduling capacity and frequency. Basic is 99.00 USD per month for five scheduled integrations, once-a-day scheduling, unlimited source and target connections, and unlimited users. Standard is 199.00 USD per month for 50 scheduled integrations and hourly scheduling, with unlimited connections and users. Professional is 499.00 USD per month for unlimited scheduled integrations and once-a-minute scheduling, also with unlimited connections and users. Basic suits a small set of daily jobs; Standard is a better fit when hourly refreshes or more workflows matter. Professional is for teams needing frequent scheduling at scale. Enterprise has custom pricing and includes unlimited record volume and a dedicated virtual machine; its priority support and onboarding consultations may matter to larger deployments. Unlimited users across the integration plans make seat count less of a pricing constraint than schedule frequency and volume.

Backup Standard is advertised at 7.00 USD per month, billed at $9 $7/mo., with $24/yr savings, 20 GB storage, unlimited snapshot storage, data search, backup comparison, automatic cleaning, and automatic backups. Backup Professional is 79.00 USD per month, billed at $99 $79/mo., with $240/yr savings and the same listed backup capabilities but 200 GB storage. The lower tier is suited to smaller protected datasets; the larger tier raises the storage allowance substantially. Data Integration Basic is 79.00 USD per month, billed at $99 $79/mo., with $240/yr savings, once-a-day scheduling, five scheduled integrations, basic scenarios, and simple mapping. Its lower price than the broader integration Basic plan comes with a narrower listed feature set. Automation, Query, and Connect have separate pricing plans, so the overall cost depends on which products a team needs.

Platforms

Skyvia supports API, web, and Windows platforms. The core service is cloud-based and browser-accessible; the Windows Agent is the route to local databases behind a firewall. The maker says the platform supports security compliance for live data access, which may be relevant when exposing operational data through endpoints.

Who it's for

Skyvia is a strong candidate for teams consolidating data movement, automation, backup, and access workflows across cloud applications and local databases. Its connector range and SQL transformations suit integration work spanning business systems and analytics, while its real-time and incremental options suit workflows where freshness matters. It is less compelling for a single small integration that fits a free or low-cost tool, or for buyers who need pricing clarity across several products before committing.

Pros and cons

Pros: More than 200 prebuilt connectors and custom REST and GraphQL support cover a broad mix of data sources.
Pros: Integration, automation, backup, query, and live access capabilities can address several related needs in one service.
Pros: Unlimited users on integration plans avoid per-seat restrictions as teams grow.
Pros: A Windows Agent makes local databases behind a firewall accessible to the cloud-based service.
Cons: The free integration tier is capped at 10k records per month and two scheduled integrations, with once-daily scheduling and 30-day schedule expiration.
Cons: The more frequent schedules and higher integration volumes require progressively more expensive plans, while Enterprise pricing is custom.
Cons: Separate product plans mean the headline entry price does not establish the cost of a multi-product setup.

Alternatives

FME Flow is an alternative with client-tailored pricing, unlimited web users, unlimited system connections, and full feature access. Oracle WebCenter Content is a paid alternative with an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure marketplace offering. EasyMorph offers a free desktop tier with restrictions, including 20 actions and 20 loop iterations per project. Apache Beam is a free, open-source programming model, with execution costs depending on the runner and infrastructure. Apache Hop is a free open-source platform under Apache License 2.0, with Java 21 required for release 2.19.0.

Keboola offers a free tier with 120 compute minutes in the first month and 60 per month afterward, with extra compute at $0.14 per minute. Apache NiFi is free to download under Apache License 2.0.

Verdict

Skyvia is best for teams that need a broad, hybrid-capable set of data workflows and value connectors, transformation, backup, and live access in one service. Its main reason to choose it is that range, paired with real-time options and unlimited integration-plan users. Look elsewhere if a narrow workload makes Skyvia's product split and scheduling costs difficult to justify, or if you need a clear total price before selecting multiple products.
