Overview

Weld in Short

Weld is a unified ELT and data activation platform that combines ingestion, modeling, transformations, orchestration, lineage, and reverse ETL in a single SaaS interface. With premium in-house–built connectors, an intuitive UI, and near real-time syncs, Weld enables both technical and non-technical users to create and manage data workflows efficiently. Weld also includes an AI assistant to support SQL modeling, generate transformations, and streamline repetitive tasks. Teams can ingest data from a wide range of sources—including marketing platforms, CRMs, databases, Google Sheets, Excel, and APIs—into their cloud data warehouse and activate it back into business tools.

Reviews & Quotes

A reviewer on G2 said:

What I like about Weld

Weld’s graphical interface is intuitive and easy to work with, even for teams with limited SQL experience. Its flexibility across sources—from databases to Google Sheets and APIs—made onboarding smooth, and performance across larger workloads was consistently strong. Support was responsive and helpful throughout our setup and ongoing use.

Overview

Etlworks Integrator in Short

Etlworks Integrator is a cloud-based ETL and data integration platform offering more than 300 connectors across databases, SaaS applications, files, and big-data systems. It supports batch and streaming pipelines, change data capture (CDC), SQL- or JavaScript-based transformations, and workflow orchestration. The platform can run fully in the cloud or use on-premise runtimes to securely access internal systems.

etlworks logo

Pros

  • 300+ connectors covering databases, cloud storage, SaaS apps, and streaming platforms.

  • Supports both batch and streaming (CDC) pipelines with customizable schedules and triggers.

  • Transformation using SQL, JavaScript, or built-in functions, including validation and error handling.

  • Cloud-based platform with optional on-premise agents for secure internal connectivity.

Cons

  • UI complexity: large flows with many steps can be difficult to navigate.

  • Credit-based subscription model can make cost forecasting difficult for variable workloads.

  • Smaller community and lower brand recognition compared to market-leading ETL tools.

What I like about Etlworks Integrator

Etlworks Integrator’s breadth of connectors and flexible transformation engine (SQL/JavaScript) let us integrate data from dozens of sources quickly.

What I dislike about Etlworks Integrator

The UI can be overwhelming for beginners, and pricing (credit-based) can be hard to predict for varying workloads.

Overview

Jitterbit in Short

Jitterbit Harmony is a cloud-based integration platform that supports ETL, ELT, API integration, and application connectivity. Users design integrations—called Jitterpaks—using a visual interface. Jitterbit provides pre-built connectors for SaaS applications such as Salesforce and NetSuite, on-prem databases, and flat files. It also enables real-time API creation from existing data sources and supports transformations using mapping tools, SQL, or scripting.

jitterbit logo

Pros

  • Pre-built connectors for CRM, ERP, databases, flat files, and the ability to build custom connectors via SDK.

  • API creation capabilities to turn data flows into REST or SOAP endpoints.

  • Visual interface (Jitterbit Studio) with drag-and-drop mapping and transformation steps.

  • Supports both real-time and batch processing; hybrid deployment available via cloud or local runtimes.

Cons

  • Complex licensing structure based on endpoints, environments, and usage, which can be costly for larger deployments.

  • Studio interface is less modern and can become unwieldy for very large pipelines.

  • Advanced transformations may require scripting rather than purely GUI-driven logic.

Jitterbit Harmony Overview:

What I like about Jitterbit

Jitterbit’s Studio UI makes building integrations straightforward, and the API creation feature lets us expose data to external apps quickly.

What I dislike about Jitterbit

Pricing is tiered and can be high as you add more endpoints or data volume. Complex transformations sometimes require scripting, despite the low-code interface.

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Feature

jitterbit logo

Ease of Use & Interface

Side-by-side

weld logo

Weld’s interface is built for clarity and speed, enabling users with varying levels of technical experience to manage data pipelines and models efficiently. Its built-in lineage and orchestration tools provide transparency across workflows.

etlworks logo

Etlworks Integrator’s Flow Designer provides a canvas for building pipelines with sources, transformations, and destinations. While flexible, complex flows can become visually dense, and new users typically face a learning curve.

jitterbit logo

Jitterbit Studio is a desktop-based (Java) interface with a design canvas for mapping and pipeline creation. It supports testing and scripting in-app. The UI is functional but can feel dated or slow when managing complex flows.

Pricing & Affordability

Side-by-side

weld logo

Weld offers a simple and predictable pricing model starting at $79 for 5 million active rows. This flat, usage-transparent structure makes budgeting straightforward for small and medium-sized teams.

etlworks logo

Pricing follows a credit-based model tied to data volume and processing. While flexible, predicting usage costs requires monitoring workload patterns. A free trial is available with limited credits.

jitterbit logo

Pricing is based on endpoints, environments, and data throughput. Entry-level usage typically begins around $25k/year. Costs can increase significantly for larger teams or high-volume workloads.

Feature Set

Side-by-side

weld logo

Weld provides ELT ingestion, SQL-based transformations, reverse ETL activation, data lineage, orchestration, and workflow management in a single platform. Its AI assistant accelerates modeling and transformation tasks.

etlworks logo

Supports 300+ connectors, CDC replication, batch and streaming ETL, SQL/JavaScript transformations, error handling, task scheduling, webhook triggers, and secure on-premise gateways. Offers REST API automation and flow export/import.

jitterbit logo

Key features include ETL/ELT pipelines, API creation, real-time event triggers, hybrid deployment, pre-built templates (Jitterpaks), and monitoring dashboards. Additional capabilities include multi-environment promotion and CI/CD integration.

Flexibility & Customization

Side-by-side

weld logo

Users can model data using SQL enhanced by Weld’s AI assistant, automate workflows, and build custom connectors to any API. This provides strong flexibility for teams that want to tailor integrations and transformations within one platform.

etlworks logo

Users can embed custom JavaScript, call external services, configure on-premise runtimes, and parameterize flows. Pipelines can be exported for version control, and the open API enables integration into external orchestration or automation frameworks.

jitterbit logo

Users can write custom logic in JavaScript or VBScript and build custom connectors through the Jitterbit SDK. Hybrid deployment supports both cloud and on-prem runtimes. Most complex workflows can be customized but may require scripting.
