Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before switching from Nango to Apideck.

Nango is integration infrastructure: it manages auth, credential storage, sync scheduling, and webhooks, but developers write and maintain custom TypeScript functions to fetch and transform data for each API. Apideck is a unified API: normalized data models and full CRUD endpoints are pre-built across 200+ connectors, so there is no per-API integration code to own.

Nango is source-available under the Elastic License v2, which is not an OSI-approved open-source license. Self-hosting is offered on its Enterprise tier. Apideck is a managed cloud platform with EU hosting and data minimization by design.

Nango has a free testing tier (10 connections) and usage-based plans from $50/month that meter connections, compute hours, function runs, records, and webhooks. Apideck charges per consumer with unlimited API calls per consumer — no compute or per-record metering to forecast.

Yes — syncs and actions are custom TypeScript “Nango Functions” you write, test, version, and maintain per API, unless a community template covers your use case. With Apideck, the normalized models and CRUD operations ship out of the box.

Nango ships an official Node.js backend SDK and a frontend SDK for its Connect UI; its Python SDK is listed as “coming soon”. Apideck ships official SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, and .NET.

Yes. Nango operates a hosted MCP server and publishes llms.txt — its agent ergonomics are strong. Apideck also operates a hosted MCP server at mcp.apideck.dev, with the difference that agents get normalized tools across categories rather than raw per-API access.

Nango lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA (BAA) on its security page, with SOC 2 report access and HIPAA noted on its Enterprise tier. Apideck is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant on all plans.
