Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 134 other automation tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Linx, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build solutions in the Designer, so there's a learning curve.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $599 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $599 per month for up to 3 solutions in production.
- 3
You can try it first
Free trial offered; request it through the vendor's demo page
- 4
It runs on 2 platforms
Windows and Web.
- 5
Low-code visual designer
Solutions are built and debugged in the Linx Designer, a Windows application the docs compare to Visual Studio but simpler.
- 6
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.
- 7
Plugins and connectors
Packages of prebuilt functionality, called plugins, add connectors and features that solutions can use.
- 8
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 134
That is against the other automation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial is offered, but you request it through the vendor's demo page. |
| Features | C | Integrations and APIs on premises or in a private cloud. Price follows solutions in production; hosted databases cost extra. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build solutions in the Designer, so there's a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | The Designer runs on Windows only; Linx Server is managed in a browser. No integrations list on the listing. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that need custom integrations and APIs without writing full code
- Companies that must run integrations on premises or in a private cloud
Worth knowing
- Price follows the number of solutions deployed in production, not users or tasks.
- 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.

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 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.
