Ask HN: Clients of Merge.dev, why tho?

1 pointjdbohrman2 comments

So like, I can't wrap my head around what makes any company pay $65/integration/mo, or $39,000 per year for 50 integrations. So I'm asking, users of Merge.dev, what made you choose to pay that pricing when OSS products that are just as good exist?

integration-heavy problems are extremely painful, and they are moving targets over which you have very little control.

if your business depends on universal integrations in order to welcome customers from diverse ecosystems, you have a choice: you can couple your apis to N moving targets and maintain that risk surface forever, or you can delegate it to someone like merge. (i think, i'm not a merge customer, but i've dealt with that problem inside businesses before and would have been interested on that basis).

Yeah but people are out here paying $39,000/yr to do the same thing they could do for free with a tool like Nango. Makes no sense fr
