Nango
Open-source integrations platform from Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch that handles API sign-in, syncs, webhooks, and tool calls across more than 1,000 APIs for products and agents.
Engineering teams building customer-facing integrations and agent tools in code that want auth, syncs, and tool calls handled across many APIs.
Non-technical teams that want no-code connectors, or buyers who want a flat price that does not grow with connected accounts.
Verdict
Nango is worth using for engineering teams that want to own their integration code without building auth and sync infrastructure themselves. Its open-source base suits products that need many customer connections, because teams can read and extend the code behind each one. Teams without developers should look elsewhere.

Review Excerpts
Below are excerpts from public reviews. Our team scoured public reviews, forums, and chat rooms to get a balanced view of customers' experience with this company. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites such as Clutch were excluded.
“Our integrations run inline during live calls, so reliability and low latency are critical. Nango handles this seamlessly, letting us scale with confidence.”
“Nango gives us one API and one clean auth experience for all integrations.”
Nango's free plan stops at 10 connections, and paid usage is billed at $0.29 per connection plus compute time and data, so costs grow with every customer account that connects.
