Paragon vs. n8n Embed
While n8n is great for building internal workflows and AI agents, Paragon is designed for multi-tenant, productized integrations across every use case - from high volume sync to real-time calls.

AI companies pick Paragon to build native product integrations, instead of stuffing n8n’s iFramed workflow/agent builder in their UI
Merge is just an API, which means your team still needs to orchestrate the integration logic, build in error-handling, and build the infrastructure to support concurrency.
Paragon provides a serverless workflow engine so your team can easily implementing the business logic, either in code (Paragraph) or with a visual workflow builder, without worrying about the plumbing.
Embedded UX
White-labeled and native to your application
While n8n forces you to iFrame their entire UI into your app and have your users configure their own integration logic, Paragon makes it easy to design 'one-click' integration experiences that feel native to your application.
Deployment & Infrastructure
