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. - **Value for money: C.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free gives 10 connections, 10 compute hours and 10GB, with hard caps that reset monthly. You'll hit them. - **Features: B.** Managed auth, tools, triggers and syncs, webhooks, an MCP server, logs and a unified API. The core job is covered. - **Ease of use: D.** No store rating on record.

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. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
