Frequently asked questions

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing period.

What happens when I hit my pipeline limit on Free?

You'll see a prompt to upgrade. Existing pipelines keep running — you can't create new ones until you upgrade or remove some.

Is there an annual discount?

Yes — annual billing saves you 2 months compared to monthly (pay for 10 months, get 12).

How does usage-based pricing work?

Pro and Team include a baseline row volume each month. Beyond that, you pay per row and egress. Managed compute is cost-plus with a 15% markup on infrastructure.

What is dedicated managed compute?

A paid Team add-on for an isolated eltPulse-managed worker queue — no noisy neighbors from other orgs. Still fully managed; not the same as running your own gateway.

What is Enterprise vs Team?

Enterprise is a sales-assisted deployment — self-hosted control plane and gateway, custom SLAs, and contract pricing. Team is self-serve on Stripe with shared SaaS hosting.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards via Stripe. Invoicing available for annual Team and Enterprise plans.

What is the free trial?

Pro and Team include a 14-day free trial when you upgrade from Billing. No credit card required to start on the Free plan.

Can I run pipelines on my own infrastructure?

Yes — on any plan. Connect a personal gateway (1 on Free, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Team) and run ingestion in your VPC. You pay your compute; Pro and Team subscriptions cover the eltPulse control plane, catalog, and usage metering. Enterprise adds a self-hosted control plane with an annual platform license.

Do you charge when I self-host compute?

Managed compute margin only applies when eltPulse runs your workers (shared or dedicated add-on). With a customer gateway, you pay your own infra plus your Pro/Team platform subscription and any metered row volume — same model as Fivetran Hybrid or Airbyte Cloud vs self-managed.

Ready to ship your first pipeline?

Connect a source, pick a warehouse, and run — managed compute included. No gateway required.
