Nango review
A developer-focused platform for authenticated API syncs, actions, and webhooks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Nango is a developer-focused integration platform for engineering teams connecting SaaS products and AI applications to external APIs. It combines managed authentication, credential storage, API proxying, data synchronization, actions, webhooks, triggers, and integration functions. Teams can use pre-built integrations and templates, customize behavior in TypeScript, and run integrations on Nango Cloud or self-hosted infrastructure. It fits teams building customer-facing connections where authentication and sync logic need to live within an application rather than in a visual automation canvas.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and usage-based paid plans. The Free plan includes API and MCP authentication, tools, and syncs, with hard-capped limits that reset monthly. Pay-as-you-go costs $50 per month and includes $50 in credits each month, alongside pay-as-you-go rates. Enterprise adds discounts with commitments, self-hosting, an MSA, and an SLA. This makes the free tier useful for smaller projects and evaluation, while teams with variable usage should plan around both the monthly credits and additional rates.
Nango’s strongest fit is authenticated, repeatable API connectivity: its proxy handles authenticated requests, incremental synchronization supports ongoing ingestion, and custom TypeScript functions provide room for application-specific behavior. Managed webhooks and real-time triggers extend the platform beyond scheduled syncs, while logs, metrics, alerting, and OpenTelemetry trace export support operational visibility. Integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, GitHub, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, Microsoft Teams, Shopify, Stripe, Workday, Xero, and Zendesk. Choose Nango when engineering control, self-hosting, and API depth matter; choose a visual integration platform when non-developers need to design workflows without code.
