The ‘build once and ship dozens’ story is great in theory, but not in practice.
From integration and endpoint limitations to sync frequency and security, many companies quickly realize Merge is not a scalable solution.

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

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.

Deploy one or multiple on-premise instances of Paragon

Supports AWS, GCP, and Azure
