The short version

  • Only Nango has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Jitterbit no public pricing amounts disclosed; all plans require annual contracts and custom quotes; 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: Jitterbit covers Low-code 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 Jitterbit

Where each one falls short

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

Jitterbit

  • No public pricing amounts disclosed; all plans require annual contracts and custom quotes
  • Pricing model complex with separate tiers for iPaaS and App Builder products
  • Connection limits, environment counts, and agent allocations vary by tier, making comparison difficult without public pricing

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

Jitterbit: How much does Jitterbit cost?

Jitterbit does not publish standard pricing. The platform offers tiered plans (Standard, Professional, Enterprise) for both iPaaS and App Builder, all requiring annual contracts. Custom pricing is available based on specific requirements, with discounts offered for nonprofits and educational institutions.

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.

Jitterbit: What's included in Jitterbit's plans?

Jitterbit iPaaS plans include 2-8+ connections, 2-4 private agents, and environments ranging from 2 to 99. App Builder plans include 4-20+ apps with 2-8 instances. Support response times range from 48-hour (Standard) to 6-hour (Enterprise). Specific pricing requires a custom quote.

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.

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.

Nango: Can we self-host it?

Yes, under the Elastic License 2.0 terms, which permit self-hosting for your own use but not resale as a service.
