Summary

Nango is a comprehensive integrations platform that offers pre-built integrations for over 250 APIs across various categories, providing flexibility and extensibility by design. It supports more integrations than Rutter and has a developer-first approach with features such as end-to-end type safety and modern code-first architecture. Nango also provides comprehensive support, flexible deployment options, and unlimited integration possibilities. Apideck is another unified API provider that offers pre-built integrations for CRM, Accounting, and HRIS APIs, but limits customization options. Codat is a unified API platform tailored for fintech companies, supporting less API integrations than Rutter but catering to specific file and data types commonly seen in banking and finance. Building integrations in-house can offer full control and flexibility but comes with significant hidden costs and challenges such as slow development, underestimated infrastructure needs, high maintenance demand, and missing integrations that can kill deals. Nango may be a great alternative to Rutter for those looking to build integrations beyond banking and accounting tools, valuing developer experience, and seeking first-class support from integrations experts.
