Brooked vs Skyvia

Skyvia is a no-code ETL platform with 200+ connectors sold module-by-module. Brooked is a Sheets-native data agent with AI, Python, and database write-back for $29/user, while Skyvia's Data Integration plans start at $99/month for daily refresh, or a configurable per-record price on Free.

Our take

Skyvia wins for IT and data engineering teams who need broad SaaS connectivity, OData endpoint publishing, or warehouse-grade orchestration. Brooked wins for business users who live in Sheets and want AI + Python on top of their data, at a fraction of Skyvia's entry price for hourly refresh.

Where Brooked wins

  • $29/user with hourly refresh + AI + Python: Skyvia's Basic Data Integration plan ($99/mo) is the first paid tier and only supports daily refresh
  • AI agent works on the data inside Sheets: Skyvia has zero AI capability across any module
  • Python sandbox for ad-hoc analysis: Skyvia's transforms are SQL/visual no-code only
  • Free tier includes AI Analyst: Skyvia's free tier is a fixed 10,000 records/month with 2 scheduled integrations
  • Flat per-user pricing: Skyvia's paid plans let you choose a monthly record allowance, so cost scales with volume as well as plan tier
  • Two-way DB write-back on Pro: Skyvia's Sync feature works but requires careful Sync vs Import vs Replication setup
  • Sheets-native sidebar UX: Skyvia's Query add-on is a separate product layered on top

Where Skyvia wins

  • 200+ connectors covering edge SaaS apps (DEAR Inventory, Zoho People, Twilio, Constant Contact) Brooked doesn't
  • Modular product suite: buy Backup, Query, Connect, Data Integration separately as a single vendor
  • OData / ODBC / ADO.NET endpoint publishing for live BI connections without data movement
  • Automated cloud backups with snapshot retention (Skyvia's Backup module)
  • No per-user surcharge on Data Integration: record volume, not seats, drives price
  • Scales to 200M+ records/month on Enterprise; established for high-volume ETL

Use cases

Which tool fits your situation?

Brooked wins

FP&A team consolidating QuickBooks + Sage Intacct + Postgres into one sheet

Brooked covers all three at $29/user with AI variance analysis. Skyvia would require the Data Integration module ($99+/mo) plus the Query add-on, and you'd build the analysis yourself in SQL.

Skyvia wins

Marketing team pulling Facebook Ads + LinkedIn Ads + Google Ads

Skyvia's connector breadth covers every major ad platform plus dozens of edge sources. Brooked currently only covers GA4 on the marketing side.

Skyvia wins

Need to publish a Salesforce-as-OData endpoint for Power BI

Skyvia's Connect module publishes OData / ODBC / API endpoints from any source, a unique capability Brooked doesn't offer.

Brooked wins

Asking 'why is AR aging?' or 'what's our WAU cohort retention?' in Sheets

Brooked's AI agent answers these directly in Sheets, generating SQL or Python as needed. Skyvia moves data but doesn't analyse it.

Skyvia wins

Replicating 50M+ records per month from a transactional DB to Snowflake

Skyvia's Replication feature with CDC is purpose-built for this. Brooked is optimised for Sheets-side workflows, not warehouse-grade ELT.

Brooked wins

Small team starting with limited budget, no IT support

$29/user with everything included beats Skyvia's $99/mo entry for daily refresh (and $199/mo for hourly). Brooked's Sheets-native UX needs no platform training.

FAQs

Common questions about switching

How much does Skyvia cost?
Skyvia's Data Integration pricing has a free plan (10,000 records/month, 2 scheduled integrations, daily sync only) plus four paid tiers: Basic $99/mo ($79/mo billed annually) with daily refresh, Standard $199/mo ($159/mo annually) with hourly refresh, Professional $499/mo ($399/mo annually) with minute-level refresh, and custom Enterprise pricing. Paid plans also let you choose a monthly record allowance, so your actual bill depends on both the plan tier and your data volume. Skyvia's other modules (Backup, Query, and Connect) are priced and billed separately. (Note: some third-party listing sites show Professional at $249/mo instead of $499/mo; the figure above matches Skyvia's own live pricing page.)
Is Skyvia free?
Skyvia has a genuine free plan, but it's capped at 10,000 records/month with only 2 scheduled integrations (which expire after 30 days) and daily-only sync. It's usable for testing or very light workloads, but a finance or ops team running recurring imports will hit the ceiling quickly and need to upgrade to Basic ($99/mo) or higher.
What is the best Skyvia alternative for Google Sheets?
If you specifically want data to land natively inside Google Sheets, with an AI agent and two-way database sync, Brooked is the closest like-for-like alternative at $29/user/month, well under Skyvia's $99/mo entry price for hourly refresh. If you need Skyvia's 200+ connector breadth or its OData/ODBC endpoint publishing, Brooked isn't a full substitute; the two tools solve different problems.
Why is Skyvia's pricing so much higher for hourly refresh?
Skyvia's pricing is module- and tier-based. The Free and Basic ($99/mo, $79 annual) tiers cap scheduling at once-per-day. You need the Standard plan ($199/mo, $159 annual) for hourly sync, and Professional ($499/mo, $399 annual) for 1-minute polling. Brooked includes 15-minute cadence on the Pro plan at $29/user.
Does Brooked support as many sources as Skyvia?
No, Brooked is focused (13 connectors targeting databases, warehouses, finance, ERPs, and analytics) while Skyvia is broad (200+ connectors including dozens of edge SaaS apps). If your stack includes unusual sources like Zoho People, DEAR Inventory, Twilio, or Marketo, Skyvia covers them and Brooked doesn't.
Can Brooked do what Skyvia's Query add-on does?
Yes, Brooked is a Sheets-native query layer for the sources it supports. The difference is Skyvia's Query is a separate product/add-on layered on top of their broader platform, while Brooked is the platform built natively for Sheets-based querying with AI on top.
What do Skyvia reviews on G2 and Capterra typically mention?
Public reviewers on G2 and Capterra generally rate Skyvia well for breadth of connectors and flexible scheduling, and frequently mention that its free plan and lower tiers are a good starting point for small integration jobs. Recurring themes on the critical side include the learning curve of the module-based pricing (Data Integration, Backup, Query, and Connect are separate purchases), and that the per-record pricing model can make costs less predictable than a flat per-seat plan as data volume grows. As with any aggregated review data, treat this as a general theme rather than a specific citation; check G2 and Capterra directly for the latest individual reviews.
What if I need both Brooked's AI and Skyvia's connector breadth?
Practical answer: Brooked for the data sources we cover (where the AI agent and Python sandbox add the most leverage), and Skyvia for ETL jobs into a warehouse for edge SaaS sources. They're not mutually exclusive for teams with diverse data needs.
