If you are interested, we are working to solve these shortcomings at nango.dev. Instead of having a black-box unified API, you can define the schemas/interactions between Nango & external APIs, in code. Which means you can do detai

Standard pre-built integrations are ok to get started. But rapidly customers ask for more integration capabilities, which are not supported by standard integrations. At this point, SaaS companies need to build custom integrations that fit e

The players you mentioned pre-build standard integrations, in specific categories (e.g. HRIS). We build a platform that lets developers build custom integrations, for any API. We do offer integration "templates", but it's onl

We've noticed the same pain point and we are providing increasingly better support for ERPs. Realistically, it takes time to build expertise on each of them, but we'll get there!

The main difference is that Merge pre-builds all integrations, with limited customization capabilities, while Nango gives you full control over the code of the integrations.

Some integrations are connected at the org level (one account for the entire company), and others at the user level (many accounts per company). For the latter case, the pricing per connection is lower.

It does! Because Nango lets you define input & output models of integrations, it's easy to standardize them across APIs. So, when syncing users from Slack/Discord/Teams, you define a standard User model, and all 3 integra

1) That's right! 2) You can write your own integration scripts, in code, consuming any endpoint from the external API, so you are not limited to what Nango pre-builds (details: https://docs.nango.dev/understand/con

These are all fair points! In practice, most customers we serve have use cases that could not be supported by traditional unified APIs, but are still better off not rebuilding an integration infrastructure from scratch. We also offer profes

(Nango co-founder here) Great. The client is just a thin wrapper around our REST API, which can be called from any language. But we plan to release SDKs for all main languages this quarter (including Java). Happy to chat on the community!

For example, if you want to synchronize a specific object type, you would get: the authorization for the API, a helper for paginating requests, easy data deduplication, resilient background syncing, rate-limits handled, and a way to get the

(Nango co-founder here) That's a great point. You highlight a key limitation of traditional unified APIs and one of the reasons why we started Nango. There's a lot of subjectivity that goes into unifying functionalities across API

(Nango co-founder here) We use the Elastic license precisely for the reason you mention: to prevent companies from rebranding Nango and selling it as it is. For all other use cases, it should be accessible.
