Nango vs Paragon

Comparison

What sets Nango apart from Paragon?

More APIs, more pre-built integrations, more advanced tooling, no limits: Nango is a faster, more developer-friendly way to build integrations. However, if a visual workflow builder is important for you, Paragon may be a better fit for you.

Key differences

Catalog

Nango supports 700+ APIs, Paragon only ~100

Nango supports more APIs than Paragon, and it has more pre-built integrations.

Nango’s API catalog is growing faster, with new additions every week. You can also add support for any new APIs yourself. This is very limited with Paragon.

Last but not least, Nango’s pre-built integrations cover more complex use-cases out of the box (e.g. syncing data continuously from external APIs & detecting changed data).

Tooling & Infrastructure

Nango offers more pre-built tooling across more APIs, while Paragon has limited tooling

Pre-built tooling is paramount to shipping customized integrations fast, without breaking things.

Paragon has limited support for important integration tooling, such as rate limit handling, error handling, caching, and data validation. Not all tooling is available for all APIs, forcing you to build things yourself.

With Nango, every API integration has rate-limit handling, caching & change detection, data validation, and error handling out of the box. Focus on your integrations, leave the infra to us.

Scalability

Nango is enterprise-ready, while Paragon has scaling limits

It sucks to run into limits the moment you reach some scale.

With Nango, you can seamlessly scale to millions of concurrent users thanks to our automatic horizontal scaling. With Paragon, you hit the bottleneck as early as 10 million API requests per month on their Cloud offering—that translates to roughly 100 active users—not ideal for production.

Unlike Paragon, Nango also offers expert service to help you navigate complex enterprise APIs and use cases, allowing you to ship the exact integrations your customers need.
