Hevo Data vs Matillion
ETL & data extraction head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Free tier + subscription (usage/event-based) + custom enterprise plan | Consumption-based credits |

| Vendor | Hevo Data | Matillion |
Our take
Where Hevo Data leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 14 of the 26 capabilities where they differ (led by schema drift detection & propagation and encryption at rest & in transit).
- Stated QuickBooks, Xero integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where Matillion leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 26 capabilities where they differ (led by sql / elt pushdown transforms and visual pipeline/workflow builder).
- Stated SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday, Sage Intacct integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 26 capabilities (of 52 in the ETL & data extraction taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
