Don’t get stuck building workarounds with Merge
Don’t get stuck building workarounds with Merge
Engineering teams pick Paragon over Merge for much better extensibility, purpose-built products for every use case, and self-hosted deployment.
A few of the many companies that have picked Paragon over Merge
An extensible core with products for abstractions
Paragon's core platform was built for extensibility, with purpose-built products on top to simplify building every use case, from high volume sync to workflow automations.
See comparison table
Pick Merge if:
Your product only needs to support a breadth of simple HRIS/ATS integrations
Merge has coverage on every single integration, endpoint, and field you will ever need
Latency is not a concern
Pick Paragon if:
You want to centralize all integrations onto one platform
You want full & easy access to the underlying APIs and custom fields
You have both high volume sync and low-latency, real-time use cases
API Coverage
No use case limitations
Companies get stuck building custom workarounds when objects or fields are not supported within Merge’s common models.

Paragon not only supports far more categories with its pre-built connectors, you can also build custom connectors in minutes, while still getting all the benefits of the platform.
