Meet the best alternative to Flatfile

Flatfile has been created in 2018 by David Boskovic and Eric Crane. Flatfile's founders have built an impressive data importer that has uploaded over a billion data records. That would be a lie if we say that it didn't inspire us back in the day.

However, Csvbox and Flatfile just got started the same way: a simple, yet beautiful CSV data importer for small and medium companies. Since then, Flatfile has gone upmarket to offer an all-in-one platform for customer data onboarding experiences. Flatfile has raised total funding of nearly $45 million and has its focus on the enterprise segment.

Csvbox comes with a CSV import tool dedicated to SMBs. And this means it takes into account the unique problems and specific needs of small companies, bootstrapped startups, solopreneurs, or side projects.

From the roots, we are built for the small teams, the underdogs, the ones trying to change the world from the ground up. That’s why you’ll find Csvbox to be designed for ease of use with an affordable pricing model.

Flatfile

To start with, the pricing is not mentioned on their website. They have lengthy, high-touch sales processes that require you to signup for a demo before you can get started.

csvbox

We believe pricing should be simple and transparent. It is clearly mentioned on our homepage here. You can quickly get started without the need to talk to a sales rep.

Flatfile

Flatfile charges you per import. This means you never know how much you're going to pay at the end of the month. And this can add up fast! No one likes surprises, especially when it comes to your bill at the end of the month.

csvbox

Being a bootstrapped startup ourselves, we know the importance of keeping the costs low - and that reflects in our pricing. We have fixed monthly plans starting with as low as $9/month. You'll never have to worry about your bill at the end of every month.

Flatfile

With Flatfile, each additional sheet template costs you more. Looking to import another data schema into your product? Sorry, you have to pay more.

csvbox

We offer unlimited templates for all our plans, including the free Sandbox plan. Never worry about creating multiple import schemas for each of your custom needs.

Flatfile

Flatfile has a high monthly minimum price even for the most basic plan. You get charged even if there are very few or no imports for the month.

csvbox

csvbox provides the flexibility to downgrade to a free or a basic plan as per your import needs. Reduce costs when imports are low and scale only when you need.
