Prismatic vs Paragon:
Why Scaling Matters

Paragon's tooling is designed for early-stage needs but lacks the flexibility to support SaaS companies as they scale. Prismatic handles everything that breaks at scale.

Prismatic vs Paragon

Overview

Paragon focuses on early-stage companies with basic integration needs. As integration requirements grow more complex, your team will encounter platform limitations. While Paragon claims to support "any third-party API," its custom connector capabilities are significantly limited compared to Prismatic, restricting your team's ability to handle complex, real-world integration scenarios.

Paragon requires that you use its proprietary framework built on low-code blocks, limiting flexibility and access to external libraries. While some npm packages are allowed, usage is restricted to an approved list. Prismatic provides true code-native integrations with a TypeScript SDK and unlimited access to any npm package or TypeScript library.

Paragon lacks an embedded workflow builder, so you’ll need to turn down those one-off integration request or spend precious engineering time to build them. Prismatic's embedded workflow builder enables your customers to configure and manage their integrations in your product, reducing engineering efforts and increasing stickiness.

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.
