In their own words
Nango
Nango provides infrastructure for building, running and maintaining integrations between products or AI agents and external APIs. It supports authentication, agent tools, webhooks, triggers and managed incremental data syncs, with a catalog listing more than 1,000 APIs. Integrations are built as code, with local development, CI/CD and multiple environments. Authentication options include OAuth 2.0, OAuth 1.0a, API keys, JWT, Basic auth and MCP auth. Nango manages token refresh, encrypts credentials in transit and at rest, and provides tenant isolation. Runtime features include resumable executions, retries, rate-limit handling, logs, metrics and alerts. The Free plan is free and has monthly caps of 10 connections, 10 compute hours and 10GB of data transfer. Pay-as-you-go costs $50 a month, includes $50 in monthly credits, and lists separate rates for connections, compute and data transfer. Self-hosting and custom connectors are supported. Nango says it does not currently offer EU-hosted cloud; Enterprise BYOC instances are available in AWS, GCP or Azure regions.
