Skyvia vs Zapier

Skyvia is a web service for integrating, backing up, accessing, and managing cloud data. It supports ETL, ELT, Reverse ETL, import, export, replication, and synchronization across cloud apps, databases, storage, warehouses, spreadsheets, and BI tools. The service lists more than 200 prebuilt connectors and supports custom REST and GraphQL connectors. Its products cover Data Integration, Automation, Backup, Query, and Connect, with separate plans. Users can create visual workflows from triggers, actions, and logic, use SQL transformations to clean and analyze data, and capture changes with real-time CDC and incremental updates. Skyvia can create web API and MCP endpoints for live access; Skyvia Connect can publish data through OData and SQL endpoints. It is accessed through a browser, while a Windows Agent provides a gateway to local databases behind a firewall. The Free plan is free and allows 10k records monthly and two scheduled integrations. Backup Standard is $7 a month, while Data Integration Basic is $79 a month. Registered accounts receive 14-day trials for all products.

Zapier connects apps through automated workflows called Zaps. Each Zap starts with a trigger and carries out one or more actions; a task counts when a successful action moves data or completes work. The service offers automation across more than 9,000 apps, with multi-step workflows, conditional logic and webhook triggers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps limited to two steps, one user and a 15-minute polling interval. Polling for new data does not count toward tasks, but successful actions do. Without pay-per-task billing, workflows pause at the task limit until the next usage period. Professional starts at $19.99 per month and Team starts at $69.00 per month; both offer free trials. Team includes 25 users and shared Zaps, folders and app connections. Annual billing has a lower monthly fee, with a 33% saving shown in the pricing selector. Zapier is web-based and headquartered in San Francisco, California.
