Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

1.8

GPA, above 3 of the 71 other automation tools we grade

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.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Cyclr, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You build workflows and embed them in your product.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for integrations built into your own product

    There is no self-serve tier, plans carry an API call allowance, and a missing connector costs a one-off fee.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $1,595 a month

    As its pricing page puts it: $1,595 per month and up (Native Embedded iPaaS, PAYG).

  3. 3

    You can try it first

    Free trial offered; its length is not stated on the pricing page

  4. 4

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  5. 5

    Embedded integrations

    Software companies can offer integrations natively inside their own product, with an embedded marketplace where their users pick and authenticate them.

  6. 6

    Connector library

    The vendor lists 600+ prebuilt connectors, and a toolkit lets customers build connectors for niche or proprietary APIs.

  7. 7

    Low-code workflows

    Workflows, which Cyclr calls Cycles, are built visually and can be saved as templates and deployed across many customer accounts.

  8. 8

    A 1.8 GPA, above 3 of 71

    That is against the other automation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    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.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
