SCALING INTEGRATIONS
Paragon vs. Merge.dev
Get a full deep dive on why engineers pick Paragon over Merge to scale their SaaS products' integrations.
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 was designed with extensibility in mind, with:
Pre-built connectors with 1:1 API coverage
Support for custom fields and objects
Integration specific webhooks triggers
Integration Coverage
Build any integration on Paragon
Need an integration that Merge doesn’t support? You’d need to build it from scratch, alongside the auth and monitoring infrastructure.
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.
Connectors for 16+ categories
Build your own custom connector in minutes
Centralize authentication, integration logic, and monitoring
Latency
Don’t settle for daily syncs and low rate limits
Merge’s sync jobs run once a day by default, their on-demand requests have extremely low rate limits (starting at 100/minute), and they only support webhooks for a handful integrations.
In contrast, Paragon provides you the tools to support real-time behavior across all your integrations.
Managed webhook triggers on most integrations
High concurrency task limits to support enterprise scale
CRON jobs that run up to once per minute on all plans

Field Mapping
Enable users to map fields their way
Each of your users may want to map fields differently, but Merge forces you to manually set field mappings.
With Paragon, field mapping is an out-of-the-box component in the Connect Portal, so your users can easily define their own unique field mappings.
Supports dynamic fields on both schemas
Users can add custom objects and fields to map to
Infrastructure
Focus on the integration logic, not the plumbing
Enterprise-scale concurrency and throughput
Built-in auto-retry with exponential back off
Hosting options
Enterprise-level security
If your customers have stringent security requirements, you don’t want to introduce another layer of complexity in their security review.
While both products offer SOC 2 Type 2 compliant cloud offerings, enterprise SaaS companies prefer Paragon because it can be hosted on-premise in their own infrastructure.
