What should I use to sync multiple SaaS apps into Redshift?

If you want to sync multiple SaaS apps into Amazon Redshift, the best tool depends on how many sources you have, how fresh the data needs to be, and how much setup you want to manage.

Good options

1. Fivetran

• Best if you want low-maintenance, managed ELT
• Supports many SaaS apps like Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Google Ads, etc.
• Handles schema changes well
• Easy to load into Redshift
• Tradeoff: can get expensive as data volume grows

2. Airbyte

• Good if you want more flexibility and possibly lower cost
• Open source and cloud options
• Lots of connectors, including SaaS sources
• You may need more hands-on maintenance than Fivetran
• Good choice if you want custom connectors or control

3. Rivery / Matillion / Stitch

• Also common for SaaS-to-Redshift pipelines
• Matillion is especially popular if you want ETL/ELT built around the AWS ecosystem
• Stitch is simpler, but connector coverage and features may be more limited than Fivetran

4. AWS-native approach

• Use AppFlow for supported SaaS apps, then land data in S3 and load into Redshift
• Useful if you want to stay mostly within AWS
• More manual than a managed ELT platform when you have many different apps

My recommendation

• Choose Fivetran if you want the easiest, most reliable “set it and forget it” option.
• Choose Airbyte if cost or extensibility matters more and you’re okay with a bit more operational overhead.
• Choose AWS AppFlow only if your sources are limited and you prefer an AWS-native stack.

If you want, I can also give you a short comparison table of Fivetran vs Airbyte vs AppFlow for Redshift.
