Prismatic leads in satisfaction for embedded iPaaS!
Compare Prismatic to Appmixer
On this page, we explain how Prismatic compares to Appmixer so you’ll have the facts you need to decide on an embedded iPaaS.
Unlike Appmixer, Prismatic:
- Provides non-devs and devs with first-class integration tools
- Includes multiple options for embedding marketplace and designer
- Comes with scalable and predictable pricing
- Provides extensive logging and monitoring features
What are the differences between Prismatic and Appmixer?
Prismatic's embedded iPaaS is a purpose-built, cloud-native B2B SaaS integration platform best suited for SaaS teams that need to create everything from simple to highly complex integrations. It provides a first-class UX for non-devs (via the low-code designer) and devs (via code-native integrations).
Appmixer is an integration platform best suited for smaller SaaS companies who will only ever need integrations that can be assembled from the platform's available connectors. Appmixer provides a no-code builder for non-devs, but doesn’t provide a means for devs to write integrations completely in code. In addition, while Appmixer provides a marketplace and embedded designer, both of these must be set up and configured via an SDK.

Prismatic beautifully supports the model we wanted: technical support staff configure new instances of known integrations; software engineers get involved when there's something new; support staff can monitor what's happening day-to-day. Meanwhile, we can focus engineering cycles on adding value for our customers.
With Prismatic, we're able to deliver integrations in far less time while streamlining our engineering effort. Prismatic has given us the ability to more widely build integrations across our teams. It has also allowed our customer-facing teams to handle customer-specific deployment.
Prismatic has been a game-changer for our team. The platform's intuitive low-code builder, marketplace and robust monitoring capabilities allow us to deliver complex integrations faster and more reliably than ever before. Whether quickly wiring up an integration using pre-built components or developing custom logic, Prismatic gives us the flexibility we need.
We probably save 95% of engineering time, we've deployed far more integrations than we would have without Prismatic. Everyone gets it; everyone understands that we can integrate wherever we need to, and that's quite a powerful thing.
The speed to market, the development costs, the ease of usability, the variety of integrations, the ability to customize it, and then also make a seamless marketplace. It's the whole package. Prismatic has changed the game, certainly 100% for us.
We've been able to see a roughly 50% increase in new customer acquisition simply by that factor of reducing time on our maintenance. My development team can now focus on new integrations and new automations.
After evaluating numerous embedded iPaaS vendors, Prismatic emerged as the clear leader for scaling customer integrations. Their comprehensive toolset not only enables access to diverse data sources but empowers our customers to build, deploy, and manage their own integrations with confidence.
Prismatic has enabled FMX to be efficient, consistent, and reliable in our integrations with third party systems. Prismatic has quickly become the clear choice for all facets of our integration strategy, including the migration of current integrations from previous solutions. We are pleased to mention our partnership with Prismatic when discussing system integration with prospects, customers, and other solution providers.

Easy to use and scales to complexity
Prismatic includes a powerful, easy-to-use, low-code designer for your non-devs to quickly build integrations using pre-built connectors plus the custom connectors your devs create with Prismatic's software development kit (SDK) to connect with all types of APIs and systems that don't have APIs.
For the ultimate flexibility in building integrations, your devs can build integrations entirely in code, with Prismatic's code-native experience, using their favorite IDEs. You can build a single integration and configure it to work for all your customers.

Prismatic allows code-native integrations
Your devs should be comfortable using the tools an embedded iPaaS provides to build integrations. Ideally, they should actually enjoy using those tools. They should also be able to use those tools to build integrations for every single scenario that comes up.
Let’s see how Prismatic and Appmixer stack up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Constraints | No constraints other than coding language | No-code designer only | |
| Coding language | Devs code in TypeScript | No-code designer only | |
| Pre-built code | Leverage pre-built functionality or write connections, etc., from scratch | No-code designer only | |
| CI/CD process | Manage code via GitHub, etc. | ||

Deploying and managing integrations
Prismatic puts the details of deploying and managing integrations into your hands. Highly flexible integration configs let you build a single integration that all your customers can use.
Prismatic also puts everything related to a customer's integrations in an easily understood dashboard so your support team can see logs and alerts.
And not only does your team have access to Prismatic’s logging and alerting data, your customers do as well. This allows them to perform their own first-level troubleshooting (and even resolve issues) instead of immediately contacting support when something goes wrong.
Appmixer also provides logging and monitoring for integrations, but not at the level of detail which Prismatic includes, and these logs are not intended for end users. Similarly, the platform supports alerting on errors, but recommends that you repackage those alerts into a more friendly format before sending them on to your customers via email.
Pricing for Prismatic vs Appmixer

|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing tiers | Includes three tiers (Pro, Scale, and Enterprise) | Includes three tiers (Startup, Scaleup, and Scaler) | |
| Pricing fees | Monthly fee, with additional costs for specific functionality, and a cost per integration + customer (aka instance) | Monthly fee. It also has an OEM plan for a fully custom, self-hosted solution. Appmixer’s standard tiers include monthly limits on data messages | |
| Pricing benefits/drawbacks | Lets you quickly determine how your costs will grow as customers and integrations increase | Monthly limits can cause users to try to build simpler/less powerful integrations in an effort to keep costs down by reducing the number of data messages | |

Security & Compliance
Prismatic is SOC2 certified and compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and CJIS. Prismatic is currently in the process of FedRAMP authorization.
Appmixer is also SOC2 certified and compliant with GDPR.
GDPR compliance is required for companies doing business in Europe. HIPAA compliance covers the exchange of health-related data in the US. CJIS compliance is needed for companies doing public safety business with Federal, State, and Local governments. FedRAMP authorization allows cloud service providers to do business with the federal government in the US.
Wrapping up
Prismatic's embedded iPaaS is a purpose-built, cloud-native B2B SaaS integration platform that supports the full range of integrations SaaS teams that must create – from those that can be assembled by non-devs using the low-code designer (including custom configurations and multiple flows) to the unlimited flexibility provided by letting devs write integrations completely in code.
Appmixer is much more limited, particularly with reference to its flexibility to address non-standard APIs and niche applications. Therefore, it is best suited for smaller SaaS companies that will only need integrations that can be assembled from the platform's available connectors.
