“We've tried to make the jump from Merge once or twice. Hasn’t worked out because we're locked in to the contract.
Workplace Management AI
“We used Merge for the last two years. Been unhappy with their lack of API pass through and non-passthrough. In order to meet our business goals, we needed to switch to a different provider."

A few of the many companies that have picked Paragon over Merge
Why engineering teams pick Paragon over Merge
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.
See comparison table
Pick Merge if:
Your product only needs to support a breadth of simple HRIS/ATS integrations
Merge has coverage on every single integration and endpoint you will need
24-hour sync frequency is acceptable
Pick Paragon if:
You need to build integrations across a variety of categories (CRM, ticketing, sales, etc.)
You want full & easy access to the underlying APIs and custom fields
Real-time behavior via webhooks is important for your use case
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
Don't take our word, see it for yourself

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.
