Debezium's pricing tiers

Debezium (open source)$0
Free, Apache 2.0 license
No tiers, no vendor to bill you — the software itself is free
Infrastructure you runVariable, not a Debezium charge
Pay for what you provision
A production Kafka cluster (typically 3+ brokers) plus Kafka Connect worker nodes (2–4 for redundancy)
Managed Kafka (optional)Variable, third-party
Vendor-priced (e.g. Confluent Cloud)
An optional way to offload Kafka operations, at its own separate recurring cost

Debezium's own pricing is a matter of public record (Apache 2.0, no vendor); infrastructure cost context is general knowledge about running production Kafka, checked 2026-09-22.

What actually drives the bill up

▲Debezium has no bill of its own — the entire cost is the Kafka + Kafka Connect infrastructure you provision to run it.
▲Production deployments typically need multiple broker and Connect-worker nodes for redundancy, each with its own compute/storage cost.
▲Retained logs, schema-history topics, and Kafka Connect's own internal topics add storage cost beyond the "useful" data.
▲A managed Kafka service trades operational burden for a recurring vendor bill that scales with throughput and retention.

How NoSQLSync compares

✓NoSQLSync is fully managed — no Kafka cluster or Connect workers to provision, size, or pay for; the plan price is the whole bill.
✓Debezium is free software, not a free migration: the real cost is infrastructure plus the engineering time to build schema mapping and load logic on top of its raw change-event output — work NoSQLSync's plan price already includes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Debezium really free?

The software is, under Apache 2.0. But it only emits raw CDC events into Kafka — you still run and pay for Kafka + Kafka Connect, and build the schema mapping and load logic yourself.

When does Debezium make sense over a managed tool?

If your team already operates Kafka for other reasons and just needs raw change-event streams, it's a reasonable zero-license-cost option. The calculus changes if you'd be standing up Kafka solely for this.
