ETLR lets developers build and deploy automation workflows as YAML code, connecting 25+ tools like OpenAI, AWS, and Slack, from a free plan to $20/month.
ETLR is a workflow automation platform positioned as a developer-first alternative to visual automation builders such as Zapier, Make, and n8n. Rather than dragging boxes and arrows onto a canvas, users define workflows directly as YAML files, which can be checked into version control, reviewed like any other code change, and deployed through the same processes engineering teams already use for their applications.
The platform connects to more than 25 external tools and services, including AI providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, cloud infrastructure like AWS, and business tools like Slack and HubSpot, and is designed around common integration patterns such as receiving a webhook, enriching or transforming the payload with Python, and forwarding the result somewhere else.
The defining feature is workflows-as-code: instead of a proprietary visual format that's hard to diff or review, ETLR workflows are plain YAML, which means changes can go through normal code review, be rolled back with version control, and be tracked over time the same way application code is. This appeals to engineering teams that have outgrown visual tools but don't want to build and maintain custom integration code from scratch.
ETLR includes native Python steps for data transformation, a library of pre-built connectors to popular SaaS and AI tools, and a credit-based execution model where one credit covers one workflow run regardless of how many steps it contains, making cost easier to estimate than tools that charge per individual task or operation.
ETLR uses a three-tier, credit-based pricing structure. The Free plan includes 100 credits per month at no cost, suitable for testing the platform or running a small number of lightweight automations. The Professional plan costs 20 pounds per month and includes 10,000 credits, aimed at small teams running production workflows regularly.
An Enterprise tier offers custom, unlimited-credit pricing for larger organizations with heavier automation needs. Across all plans, credits reset monthly and unused credits do not roll over, so cost planning is based on expected monthly workflow executions rather than a per-seat model.
Yes, ETLR offers a free plan with 100 credits per month, enough for light testing or small-scale automation.
ETLR uses a credit system: Free includes 100 credits, Professional costs 20 pounds monthly for 10,000 credits, and Enterprise offers custom unlimited-credit pricing.
Yes, workflows are defined in YAML, so some technical comfort is expected; it is not a drag-and-drop no-code tool.
ETLR positions itself as a code-first alternative, letting teams version and review workflows as YAML rather than building them visually on a canvas.
One credit equals one workflow execution, regardless of how many steps or integrations that workflow includes.
