Corsair vs Nango

Every Corsair plugin ships a full suite of typed operations out of the box. Inputs and outputs are inferred at compile time, so your app and agents get a real API surface (not just a connection and a passthrough).

Every API operation has a schema: the arguments you send in the API and the response you receive. With Corsair, that schema is right in your SDK. TypeScript tells you on the spot if you called an operation correctly, so a lot of mistakes get caught while you're still writing code.

With Nango, the app-side types mostly default to any. Action names are strings and inputs and outputs aren't checked at build time. This means that operations can look fine until they break in run-time. Note that Nango does let you add your own types, but that's extra work on your end.

Nango requires self-hosting if you don't want them to touch your data or credentials. This is a huge infra burden and lot of ongoing maintenance. With Corsair Hub, our hosted option, we never touch your data or credentials. They will always pass through from your app directly to the integration provider. This means you have the security of a self-hosted app without the associated maintenance burden.

With Corsair, all data is immediately cached in your database (not ours). This doesn't require dedicated syncs, as it does for Nango. An API operation serves as a sync so that when data comes in, your cached data is automatically up to date.

For example, if you send a Slack message through Corsair, it would automatically save it into the database. Later on, if that message is ever edited, Corsair processes the webhook and updates that exact Slack message's record. You do not have to wait for the next sync to pick up these changes.
