Overview

Skyvia combines data integration, automation, backup, query, and Connect products. Data Integration supports ETL, ELT, Reverse ETL, imports, exports, replication, and synchronization across cloud apps, databases, storage, warehouses, spreadsheets, and BI tools. More than 200 prebuilt connectors and custom REST and GraphQL connectors give teams a broad starting point for mixed stacks.

The service is cloud-based and accessed through a browser. A Windows Agent provides a route to local databases behind a firewall, making Skyvia relevant to hybrid environments without requiring the full service to run on-premises. Skyvia reports SOC 2 certification, HIPAA readiness, PCI DSS and GDPR compliance, AES 256-bit encryption at rest, and TLS in transit. Those controls may help teams with compliance needs assess fit, though they do not replace their own security review.

Key features

Integration and transformation

Data Integration covers scheduled workflows as well as real-time synchronization. Change data capture and incremental updates can capture source changes without treating every run as a full refresh. SQL transformations let teams clean and enrich data, analyze it, and compute metrics; this is a practical fit for teams comfortable expressing transformation logic in SQL.

Automation uses visual workflows assembled from triggers, actions, and logic components. This gives teams a visual way to orchestrate processes, while the separate Automation product means buyers should compare its own plan and pricing rather than assume it is included with an integration subscription.

Data access and backup

Skyvia can create web API and MCP endpoints for live data access. Skyvia Connect can also publish data through OData and SQL endpoints, which can help teams provide access without building every interface from scratch. Backup includes automatic daily backups and manual backups on demand. The service is hosted on Microsoft Azure in a multi-tenant, fault-tolerant architecture.

Pricing

Skyvia is freemium, and registered accounts receive 14-day trials for all products. Annual billing is advertised at 20% off. Products have separate pricing plans, so the price of one capability should not be treated as the price of the whole service.

For the general integration plans, Free costs 0.00 USD per free and allows 10k records per month, two scheduled integrations, once-a-day scheduling, and a 30-day schedule expiration. It is a useful way to try limited-volume scheduled work, but the record cap and schedule expiry constrain ongoing production use. Basic costs 99.00 USD per month and raises the allowance to five scheduled integrations, with once-a-day scheduling, unlimited source and target connections, and unlimited users. Standard costs 199.00 USD per month and allows 50 scheduled integrations with hourly scheduling. Professional costs 499.00 USD per month and permits unlimited scheduled integrations with once-a-minute scheduling. Those higher tiers suit teams whose cadence or workflow count outgrows daily scheduling; all three paid tiers retain unlimited connections and users. Enterprise has custom pricing, unlimited record volume, a dedicated virtual machine, priority support, and onboarding consultations.

Separate Data Integration Basic pricing is 79.00 USD per month, with once-a-day scheduling, five scheduled integrations, basic scenarios, and simple mapping. It is a lower-cost fit for modest daily workflows, but it offers fewer scenario and mapping capabilities than a fuller integration setup. Backup Standard is 7.00 USD per month and includes 20 GB storage, unlimited snapshot storage, data search, backup comparison, automatic cleaning, and automatic backups. Backup Professional is 79.00 USD per month and raises storage to 200 GB while retaining those backup functions. These plans suit teams choosing backup capacity independently of integration volume.

Platforms

Skyvia supports API and web access, with a Windows platform and Windows Agent for connecting to local data behind a firewall. Its deployment model is hybrid: cloud service for browser-based work, with an on-premises gateway option.

Who it's for

Skyvia is best suited to teams that need several data workflows across cloud apps and databases, or that need to bridge cloud services with local databases. Its connector breadth, SQL transformations, visual automation, backup, and live access endpoints can reduce the number of separate tools to evaluate. It is less compelling for a small workload that exceeds the free tier only slightly but does not justify a paid schedule quota, or for teams that need one product’s functions without wanting to compare separate product plans.

Pros and cons

Broad workflow coverage: Integration, automation, backup, query, and access products address multiple data jobs in one service.
Flexible connectivity: More than 200 prebuilt connectors, custom REST and GraphQL connectors, and a Windows Agent cover varied cloud and local sources.
Useful scaling steps: Paid integration tiers increase scheduling frequency and workflow counts, while all listed paid tiers include unlimited users and connections.
Product-by-product pricing: Separate plans make it possible to select backup or integration independently, but require buyers to verify which subscriptions cover their intended combination of tasks.
Free tier is narrow: 10k records per month, two scheduled integrations, daily scheduling, and a 30-day schedule expiration limit its usefulness for sustained or frequent workloads.
Price rises with scheduling needs: Hourly scheduling starts at 199.00 USD per month and once-a-minute scheduling at 499.00 USD per month, a substantial step for teams needing faster runs.

Alternatives

Choose EasyMorph if a free desktop option with 20 actions and 20 loop iterations per project is a better match for restricted, local workflows. Consider Apache Beam when an open-source programming model is preferable and execution costs can be handled through a chosen runner and infrastructure. Apache Spark is another free, open-source option for distributed data analytics, with downloadable and package-based distribution choices.

Google Cloud Data Fusion may suit teams seeking its Developer plan for development and exploration workloads, priced at 0.35 USD per month per instance hour, billed by the minute, with two concurrent users and zonal high availability. Informatica Product 360 is an alternative to evaluate for teams considering a product whose pricing depends on data volume, modules, deployment, integrations, and add-ons. Precisely EnterWorks is another option to assess through a demo, with downloads requiring an active entitlement and no self-service license keys.

Consider AWS Glue DataBrew if its interactive project sessions or jobs better suit the data-preparation task; interactive sessions cost 1.00 USD per 30 minutes. Apache Hop is a free, open-source option for teams able to meet its Java 21 requirement for release 2.19.0. For category-level comparisons, see ETL Software, CRM Data Migration Software, and Integration Platform as a Service Software.

Verdict

Choose Skyvia if your team needs a managed way to connect cloud and local data, orchestrate workflows, and add backup or live access without assembling each capability separately. Its main advantage is breadth across connectors and data operations; its main drawback is that products are priced separately and frequent or high-volume integration can require a much more expensive tier. Teams with modest daily needs can start on Free or Data Integration Basic, while faster schedules and unlimited integration volume point toward higher paid or custom-priced plans.
