Worth knowing
Nango
- The Free plan has hard monthly caps of 10 connections, 10 compute hours and 10GB of data; usage beyond that needs the paid plan.
- A connection is one user's authorized account for one API, so costs scale with how many customer accounts you connect.
- A Growth add-on costs $450 per month, and self-hosting with support is listed under Enterprise.
- It is a developer platform that needs code to use, not a no-code app for personal automations.
Svix
- Free stops at 50k messages a month and 7 days of payload retention.
- Static source IPs, unbranded portal and advanced RBAC need Professional at $490 a month and up.
- SSO, HIPAA and a BAA are Enterprise features with custom pricing.
- The pricing page does not state how messages beyond the included 50k are billed.
Key features
Nango
- Managed authorization
- Pre-built authentication, secure credential storage and token refresh for more than 1,200 APIs and MCP servers, including a request proxy.
- Tools, triggers and syncs
- Thousands of pre-built tools, triggers and syncs are available, and teams can extend the templates or write fully custom ones.
- Webhooks
- Incoming webhooks from outside APIs are verified and routed, for use in syncs or as triggers.
- MCP server for agents
- A single MCP server exposes the tool library to AI agents, with permissions and scopes controlling what an agent may do.
- Logs and audit trail
- Built-in logs, metrics and alerting show every call, and traces can be exported in OpenTelemetry format on paid plans.
- Unified API and white labeling
- A unified API gives one schema across APIs, and white labeling plus custom OAuth apps remove Nango branding from the authorization flow.
Svix
- Webhook sending
- Svix Dispatch delivers a product's webhooks to its customers' endpoints with retries and signing. Svix Ingest covers receiving webhooks.
- Embeddable portal
- An application portal can be embedded in a customer dashboard so webhook consumers manage subscriptions and monitor delivery themselves.
- Usage-based counting
- Only attempted messages count toward usage. Messages filtered out by Svix, such as when no endpoints exist, and retries are free.
- Destinations
- Higher plans add object storage endpoints (AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud Storage). Enterprise lists Snowflake and OpenTelemetry log streaming.
- Testing tools
- Svix Play is a separate tool for testing webhooks, and the site links an API reference, SDKs and a Terraform provider.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
