Best for connecting your product or AI agent to outside APIs
Nango is developer infrastructure that handles authorisation, syncs, webhooks and tools for connecting your product or an AI agent to other people's APIs. Free is capped at 10 connections, and costs scale with each customer account you connect. You also need to write code.
Who Nango is for
- Fits if you're building a product that must connect to your customers' other apps
- Works for teams building AI agents that call outside APIs
Who Nango is not for
- Tight on Free: 10 connections, 10 compute hours and 10GB, with hard caps
- Not for you if you want a no-code app, since it needs code to use
- Watch out: a connection is one user's account for one API, so cost climbs with customers
- Pricey if you want more: the Growth add-on is $450 a month
- Watch out: self-hosting is an Enterprise offer, priced through sales
Why Nango gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$50 a month with $50 in usage credits, at $0.29 a connection, $0.72 a compute hour and $0.50 a GB. That's the start of the dearer quarter.
- CFree plan and trialFree gives 10 connections, 10 compute hours and 10GB, with hard caps that reset monthly. You'll hit them.
- BFeaturesManaged auth, tools, triggers and syncs, webhooks, an MCP server, logs and a unified API. The core job is covered.
- DEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a developer platform and needs code to use.

Keep Nango, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Nango you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $600 a year. Nango is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Nango’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 Nango?
Nango is developer infrastructure for connecting a product or an AI agent to outside APIs. It handles authorization and token refresh, runs tools, syncs and webhooks against those APIs, and offers an MCP server. The homepage says it is open source and self-hostable, and pricing is based on usage.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- 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.
