Definite

Overview

Definite brings data ingestion, storage, modeling, BI, and an AI analyst into one platform. It suits teams that want to build reports and data applications from varied sources, including through AI clients. Its broad toolset is balanced by a small Free-plan allowance and a $250.00 USD monthly starting point for Standard.

Key features

Definite’s integrations directory lists 525 sources, including Salesforce, Stripe, PostgreSQL, Shopify, and Google Analytics. It can ingest files in CSV, Parquet, JSON, and NDJSON formats, and supports log-based change data capture for Postgres, MySQL, and Oracle where supported. That range makes it relevant to teams consolidating operational and marketing data; the Free plan’s two-connector cap, however, is only enough to explore a narrow setup.

Fi, the AI analyst, takes plain-English questions and can assemble data apps with filters, KPIs, tables, and charts. The platform also supports custom data applications and browser-side search across millions of rows using DuckDB-Wasm. MCP clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can access schema, lineage, and semantic context, which gives teams another route to work with their data beyond the built-in analyst.

Security features include TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and role-based access controls. Definite says it meets GDPR and CCPA requirements; SOC 2 Type II is in progress. A HIPAA BAA is available on request for Enterprise customers. Customer data is hosted on US-based GCP infrastructure, with an EU region available on Enterprise. Definite can also run as a private deployment in a customer’s AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud, or Kubernetes environment.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever. It includes two users, two connectors, 1 GB of storage, five credits per month, and daily sync. That is a useful way to evaluate a small workflow, but the limits are restrictive for a team connecting multiple systems or refreshing data frequently.

Standard costs $250 a month, billed Monthly. It removes user and connector limits, raises storage to 10 GB, includes 100 credits per month, and adds hourly sync and API access. Additional credits cost $1 each. Standard is the practical tier for teams that need broader access and more frequent updates, though its storage and monthly credit allowance still call for attention as workloads grow.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes 1,000+ credits per month, SSO, near real-time sync, audit logs, SCIM, dedicated support, and an SLA. It is the fit for organizations needing those controls or an EU region; a HIPAA BAA is also available to Enterprise customers on request. The security team says most requested security documents are turned around within 1–2 business days.

Platforms

Definite is available on web and through an API, and supports self-hosted deployment. Its private deployment option can run in a customer’s cloud or Kubernetes environment, which is useful when teams need control over where the platform runs. Enterprise is required for an EU data region.

Who it's for

Definite is best suited to teams that want one platform for connecting data, analyzing it, and turning it into dashboards or custom applications, especially if they expect to use MCP-compatible AI clients. It is less compelling for a very small project that can live within two connectors and daily sync, or for buyers whose budget does not stretch to Standard’s monthly cost.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A 525-source directory, multiple file formats, and CDC support offer several ways to bring data together.
• Pros: Fi, custom data apps, DuckDB-Wasm search, and MCP client support give teams distinct ways to explore and present data.
• Pros: Role-based access, encryption, and private deployment address important security and hosting needs.
• Cons: Free is capped at two users, two connectors, 1 GB, and five monthly credits, with daily sync.
• Cons: Standard starts at $250 a month and includes only 10 GB and 100 monthly credits; additional credits cost $1 each.
• Cons: SOC 2 Type II is in progress, and an EU region is reserved for Enterprise.

Verdict

Choose Definite if your team wants data integration, analysis, and custom data applications together, with AI analyst and MCP client options. Its strongest case is breadth across ingestion, exploration, and deployment. Look elsewhere if the Free plan’s tight caps are not enough and Standard’s 250.00 USD monthly price is too high, or if you need SOC 2 Type II already completed.
