The short version

  • Only Nango has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Celigo prices are not published on any of the three editions; Nango the licence is Elastic License 2.0, which is source available rather than OSI open source, and it forbids offering Nango to third parties as a managed service, so anyone planning to resell or embed it in a platform for their own customers has a genuine legal problem.
  • They diverge on capability: Celigo covers App integration, Nango covers Managed OAuth.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

  • An engineering team replacing a homegrown integration service whose main cost is silent token expiry and rate limit failures in productionnot Celigo

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Celigo

  • Prices are not published on any of the three editions
  • Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
  • API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
  • Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
  • Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only

Nango

  • The licence is Elastic License 2.0, which is source available rather than OSI open source, and it forbids offering Nango to third parties as a managed service, so anyone planning to resell or embed it in a platform for their own customers has a genuine legal problem.
  • Pricing is per connection where a connection is one authorised end-user account, so cost scales linearly with your customer base and a product where each user links several services multiplies quickly beyond what a headline plan price suggests.
  • Pre-built integrations vary in depth, and a connection that exists is not the same as a connection that covers the endpoints and objects your feature needs, so each one must be verified before it is designed into a roadmap.
  • Custom syncs are written in TypeScript and run in Nango model, which means integration logic lives in a vendor runtime and migrating away later requires rewriting it rather than lifting it out.
  • Self-hosting removes the vendor from the data path but transfers operational responsibility for a component that holds customer OAuth tokens, and few teams appreciate the security burden that comes with running that themselves.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Celigo: How much does Celigo cost?

Celigo pricing is not publicly disclosed; the vendor requires direct contact with sales to obtain pricing quotes based on your endpoint and workflow requirements.

Source
Nango: Is Nango open source?

It is source available under Elastic License 2.0. You can read, modify and self-host it, but you cannot offer it to third parties as a managed service. That is not the same as an OSI approved open source licence.

Celigo: What is Celigo's pricing model?

Celigo uses a flat-rate subscription model based on endpoints and flows, not per-transaction costs; customers must contact sales for actual pricing for each tier.

Source
Nango: How is it priced?

Per connection per month, where a connection is one authorised end-user account. Free to 10 connections, 50 dollars a month for Starter with 20, 500 for Growth with 100, and one dollar per additional connection.

Celigo: Is there a free trial for Celigo?

Yes, Celigo offers a 30-day free trial with unlimited access to the platform; no credit card is required to start the trial.

Source
Nango: Can we integrate an API Nango does not support?

Yes. Custom syncs and actions in TypeScript cover any API including internal ones, which is the main advantage over closed unified API products.

Celigo offers Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions; specific pricing for each is not published and requires sales contact, with Enterprise including unlimited endpoints and premium support.

Source
Nango: Can we self-host it?
