I should start by saying that we love Nango & Airbyte, rely on Nango for certain oAuth flows, and support Airbyte as a Connector! I'd say the main high-level differences are:

1. We're built for self-hosting / single-tenant mode and focus on customers with this need. Our data plane runs in a Cloudflare worker on our customer's Cloudflare account, so we never get access to the data.

2. Airbyte is mainly focused on internal ETL data movement. Nango also syncs data into their app DB while we enable you to plug in your DB to collocate it with your app data for easier joins.

3. We'd like to think that OpenInt sits at a higher level than a regular iPaaS as we replace the glue code you'd have to write to bring in traditional unified APIs. Imagine being able to plug in and use both a Plaid and a Yodlee with a unified UI/API. Let them focus on what they do best. Orchestrate aggregators so genuinely become the last integration you'll ever need. More: https://openint.dev/launch-week/introducing-orchestrate-and-...
