Regarding pricing, you are mostly right. It is connector-dependent and volume based. Most of our connectors are charged at $0.00004USD per event.
This is actually the approach we take for connecting to Google Services.
All of this is in our roadmap so we are glad to hear that we are on the right track. However we would love to know more about your last point. If you can email us to andres@movinglake.com and edgar@movinglake.com so we can discuss it, we would greatly appreciate it!

Data connectors, in the loosest definition possible, is simply a piece of software that moves data from one place to the other. This can be from database A to database B or (as in our case) from a given API into a database.
ETL stands for "Extract, Transform, Load", a process in which you get data from some place, clean it/do something with it, then store it into a desired destination. Probably this term is most frequently used in the context of data warehousing, in which you move data from one or more OLTP databases from the application side, into an OLAP database.
Finally, Snowflake is a very popular (and very cool) database focused on Data Warehousing needs.
