Frequently asked questions
How is Hevo priced, and what counts as an event?
Hevo bills on events processed per month, where each record inserted, updated or deleted in the destination counts as one event. There is a free forever tier (up to 1M events/month, 5 users), Starter from $265/month and Professional from $750/month on annual billing, and a custom Business Critical tier. Usage above the plan quota is charged as on-demand events on top of the plan.
How long does implementation take, and do we need professional services?
Setup is self-serve and no-code: you configure a source and destination and Hevo builds and maintains the pipeline. Customers report going live quickly, including ALLEN Digital building an analytics stack in three days and Icelandair cutting pipeline setup from weeks to hours. A professional-services add-on for onboarding and migration assistance is available on Professional and Business Critical plans.
Which compliance certifications does Hevo hold?
The security page states SOC 2 Type II certification by AICPA auditors across all five Trust Services Criteria, HIPAA alignment with Business Associate Agreements, GDPR and CPRA compliance, and DORA-specific contractual clauses. Data can be processed in EU, US or APAC regions chosen at onboarding, and data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+), at rest (AES) and during processing. No ISO 27001, FedRAMP or ISO 42001 claims appear on the pages reviewed.
What support is included, and are there SLAs?
Email support is listed across plans, with 24x7 email and in-app live chat from the Starter plan upward, plus self-serve product documentation. The pricing page advertises a 1-hour support response SLA on Business Critical and a 14-day free trial that comes with 24x7 support. SLA levels differ by tier and should be confirmed during contracting.
Can we migrate from another ELT tool such as Fivetran?
Yes. Hevo publishes a dedicated Fivetran migration resource and offers a contract-buyout eligibility check for teams locked into an existing ETL contract, plus a professional-services add-on for extensive onboarding assistance on Professional and Business Critical plans.
Which sources and destinations are supported?
The integrations page lists 150+ pre-built connectors spanning databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB), business applications (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Jira, NetSuite, Stripe, Shopify), files and storage (S3, Google Cloud Storage, FTP/SFTP, Google Drive) and ad/marketing platforms, with destinations including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift and Databricks. Sources not covered can be requested and Hevo will build them.
