Merge Vs. embedded ipaas

The Unified API for Customizability

Merge is a Unified API for customer-facing integrations. Embedded integration platform as a service (iPaaS) is a low-code tool.

With Merge, you only need to build once. Merge also offers the same depth of data extensibility as an embedded iPaaS.

Unified API

Stop building and maintaining one-off integrations

Merge allows your app to connect to an entire category of software through a single integration. Unlike an embedded iPaaS, you won’t need to use developer resources to build one-to-one integrations for each platform you want to support.

With Merge

Build once to a Unified API

With an Embedded iPaaS

Integrate with each product
A customizable API

Whether you need to read and write custom objects or custom fields and attributes, Merge supports you with features that enable deep data coverage in a single build.
