Best for custom integrations and APIs with little code
Linx is a low-code tool for custom integrations and APIs, priced by the number of solutions in production: $599 a month for up to 3, up to $4,999 for 40. The Designer is a Windows app, hosted databases from $19 a month are extra, and a trial is requested through the demo page.
Who Linx is for
- Fits if you need custom integrations and APIs without writing full code
- Makes sense if you must run integrations on premises or in a private cloud
Who Linx is not for
- Pricey if you're small, as the cheapest plan is $599 a month
- Skip it if you don't use Windows, because the Designer is a Windows app
- Watch out: hosted MySQL or Postgres from $19 a month isn't in the plan price
- Watch out: cloud is billed monthly, but on-premises is annual in advance
Why Linx gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$599 a month for up to 3 solutions in production, far above the category's dearest tenth of $165. Stadium is $249 a month per web application.

- CFeaturesIntegrations and APIs on premises or in a private cloud. Price follows solutions in production; hosted databases cost extra.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build solutions in the Designer, so there's a learning curve.
- CPlatforms and integrationsThe Designer runs on Windows only; Linx Server is managed in a browser. No integrations list on the listing.

Keep Linx, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Linx 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: 125 of the 134 other automation tools grade higher. It costs $7,188 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Linx’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 Linx?
Linx is a low-code integration platform for building application integrations, APIs, data migrations, ETL jobs and process automation. Solutions are built in a Windows desktop designer and run on Linx Server, which can be hosted in the cloud, on premises or in a private cloud. Plans are priced by the number of solutions in production.
Worth knowing

- Cloud is charged monthly; on-premises deployments are charged annually in advance.
- Hosted MySQL or Postgres databases start at $19 a month and are not in the plan price.
- The Designer is a Windows application; Linx Server is managed from a browser.
Key features

- Cloud or on-premises hosting
- Linx Server hosts the running solutions and can be deployed in the cloud, on premises or in a private cloud, managed through a browser interface.
- Plugins and connectors
- Packages of prebuilt functionality, called plugins, add connectors and features that solutions can use.
- Monitoring and metrics
- Linx Server includes management, observability and metrics for the solutions it runs.
- Broad use cases
