Scratch Data

Scratch Data, previously known as Hotswap and Tasker, operates primarily from New York, NY, with additional remote capabilities. As a participant in the Y-Combinator S21 batch, the company has established itself in the B2B sector, specifically focusing on finance and accounting. Scratch Data is often referred to as an ‘Open-Source Snowflake’ due to its robust data handling and analytics capabilities. The company has processed 15 terabytes of data and ingested 5 billion rows since its inception. Scratch Data’s platform boasts an average integration time of 13.2 minutes and offers a RESTful API that facilitates data streaming to databases with features like automatic table setup and schema migrations. The API is designed to return data in milliseconds and assigns a unique ID to each piece of data ingested. Additionally, the platform supports webhooks for seamless data transfer from services like Stripe and Shopify. Scratch Data’s product suite includes a self-hosted open-source plan at no cost, which provides API access and all necessary database connectors. Their startup plan, priced at $24 per month, includes a hosted analytics pipeline, dashboard, data sharing with one-time links, 100 GB of data transfer, and email support. For growth-stage companies, the growth plan at $149 per month offers 1 TB of data transfer, bulk data pricing, and a private Slack channel. The company guarantees that users can unlock data within 30 minutes, with the promise of the first month free if the connection is not established within a single Zoom call.
