Nango: open-source API integration platform — the technical alternative to Zapier

Zapier charges $20 to $799/month. For technical teams, Nango delivers 300+ ready integrations, automatic OAuth, and data sync — at zero licensing cost.

Third-party integrations — Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, GitHub, Google Workspace — are one of the most labor-intensive parts of building any software product. OAuth, token refresh, webhooks, rate limits, pagination: each integration has its own quirks. Zapier solves this for non-technical users. Nango solves it for engineers who want real control.

What Is Nango?

Nango is an open-source API integration platform. It handles all OAuth complexity (access tokens, refresh tokens, scopes), syncs data from external APIs to your database, and manages webhooks — all via a fully-typed TypeScript SDK. Instead of implementing OAuth from scratch for each integration, you configure Nango and it handles the rest.

The project has over 300 pre-built integrations. For each provider, the authentication flows, most common endpoints, and typed data schemas are already there. You connect Nango to your product in hours, not weeks.

Key Features

  • 300+ pre-built integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, GitHub, Google, etc.)
  • Automatic OAuth management (access/refresh tokens)
  • Configurable API data sync to your database
  • Webhooks with automatic retry and audit logs
  • Native TypeScript SDK with full typing
  • Monitoring dashboard for connections and syncs
  • Self-hosted or cloud (Nango Cloud)
  • Multi-tenant support (each of your users connects their own account)

vs. Alternatives

Zapier Professional: $49/month. Zapier Team: $69/month. Make Business: $29/month. Workato: $10,000+/year. MuleSoft: $50,000+/year. Self-hosted Nango: infrastructure cost. Nango Cloud: generous free plan + $399/month for production. The fundamental difference: Zapier and Make are tools for end users to create automations; Nango is infrastructure for engineers to build native integrations into products.

Who Should Use It

  • Product teams building native integrations (e.g., "connect your HubSpot")
  • Startups needing OAuth authentication for multiple providers
  • Engineers wanting to replace Zapier integrations with real code
  • B2B products syncing customer data with their tools
