Stitch review and pricing

Legacy managed ELT now sitting under Qlik and Thoma Bravo, with orphaned-product concerns.

By Talend / Qlik · Founded 2016 · Philadelphia, PA · pe backed

Stitch was the original Singer-based managed ELT, founded by RJMetrics in 2016, acquired by Talend in November 2018 for $60M. Talend itself was then taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2021 for $2.4B, and the combined entity was acquired by Qlik (also Thoma Bravo controlled) in March 2023, bringing both Stitch and Talend under one PE-backed parent. The product still ships and still works for the ~140 sources it supports, but customer reviews across 2024 and 2025 consistently flag orphaned-product symptoms: connector maintenance lag, slow response on bugs, and unclear roadmap relative to Qlik Talend Cloud. Strengths: predictable row-based pricing, established mid-market reference base, and integration with the Talend Data Fabric for buyers already on that stack. Trade-offs: substantial post-acquisition customer-service complaints, connector coverage frozen relative to Fivetran and Airbyte, and the Qlik roadmap appears to favor Talend Cloud over Stitch.

Best for

Existing Stitch or Talend customers (200 to 5,000 employees) renewing existing pipelines where switching cost outweighs the orphaned-product risk, especially those who value predictable row-based pricing.

Worst for

Net-new buyers (Fivetran, Airbyte, or Hevo all better choices), teams needing modern connector breadth, or organizations sensitive to post-PE customer-service risk.

  • “Stitch still works for the connectors it has. The problem is the connectors it has are the connectors it had in 2022. Renewing this year, evaluating Fivetran or Airbyte for next.”
