Best for integrations built into your own product
Cyclr lets a software company put integrations inside its own product, from $1,595 a month. There is no self-serve tier, plans carry an API call allowance, and a missing connector costs a one-off fee.
Who Cyclr is for
- Fits if you run a SaaS company and want integrations inside your product
- Works for a service company that delivers integrations to many customers
Who Cyclr is not for
- Skip it if you just want to link your own apps, as it starts at $1,595 a month
- Pricey if you grow: Growth is $2,595 and Scale $7,195 a month
- Watch out: calls over the Growth and Scale allowance are billed extra
- Watch out: Private Cloud for Service and MCP is priced by talking to the vendor
Why Cyclr gets a 1.8

- DFree plan and trialA free trial is offered, but the pricing page does not state its length.
- CFeaturesEmbedded integrations, a connector library, low-code workflows and MCP servers. But connectors not in the library are built for a one-off fee.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build workflows and embed them in your product.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb platform with connectors to Salesforce, Dynamics, NetSuite, Sage, HubSpot, Shopify, Amazon S3 and Claude. No desktop or phone app.

Keep Cyclr, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cyclr you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 63 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher. It costs $19,140 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Cyclr’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cyclr?
Cyclr is an embedded integration platform (embedded iPaaS) that software companies use to offer integrations inside their own products. It provides a connector library, a low-code workflow builder, multi-tenant customer accounts and, more recently, hosted MCP servers for AI connectivity. Pricing is by platform tier and active connectors, not by user.
Worth knowing
- Priced for companies building integrations into a product: plans start at $1,595 per month, with no self-serve entry tier.
- The Growth and Scale plans include a monthly API call allowance, and calls over it are billed at published rates.
- Private Cloud for Service and MCP products is priced by talking to the vendor.
- Connectors you need that are not in the library are built for a one-off fee agreed in advance.
Key features
- Embedded integrations
- Software companies can offer integrations natively inside their own product, with an embedded marketplace where their users pick and authenticate them.
- Connector library
- The vendor lists 600+ prebuilt connectors, and a toolkit lets customers build connectors for niche or proprietary APIs.
- Low-code workflows
- Workflows, which Cyclr calls Cycles, are built visually and can be saved as templates and deployed across many customer accounts.
- Multi-tenancy
- Customers, accounts and integrations are kept in separate environments so one platform can serve many end customers.
- MCP servers for AI
- A separate MCP PaaS product turns an application's API into configurable MCP servers that AI agents can call.
- Hosting options
- Shared plans run on Cyclr's own AWS account; Enterprise plans can be self-hosted or managed in AWS or Azure.
