Why leading SaaS choose Paragon over Merge

API coverage

Merge only supports generic use cases - if your customers need integration-specific behavior, you'll be stuck building custom workarounds.
With Paragon, you will never run into use cases limitations.

CUSTOM INTEGRATION BUILDER

Build any integration on Paragon

Don't be limited to the integrations supported by their unified categories. Otherwise you'll need to manage a few integrations on Merge, and continue to build in-house for everything else.

Paragon supports 16+ categories, and provides a Custom Integration Builder for you to centralize development of your entire integration roadmap.

Why unified APIs aren't the right option

"More complex use cases aren't fully possible using Merge. This has meant that our integrations can only accomplish so much before we would have to consider building our own custom API. We have also spent considerable time writing custom passthrough requests for fields that don't quite fit with the common model."

“Our team asked me ‘how the heck did we get Slack integrated so quickly?’ We're now ramping up our onboarding thanks to our ability to easily add integrations through Paragon.”

“Paragon helped us quickly ship a Slack integration that we were always putting on the back burner. Now it’s live and serving happy customers in under a month.”

“Paragon not only saved us weeks of engineering time delivering a Salesforce integration for our customers, we can now consistently ship new integrations and move upmarket.”
