Hey Product Hunt👋! We’re so excited to announce our new discounted pricing for startups, tailored to fit your needs. We know that as a startup, you’re juggling a lot of priorities: building your product, acquiring customers, etc. One thing that shouldn’t be on your list is building and maintaining product integrations. Merge takes that burden off you and your team. Merge is one API to add hundreds of integrations to your product. Instead of building and maintaining each integration, your developers integrate once to Merge’s Unified API to add an entire category of integrations to your product in just weeks. Merge currently offers over 200 HRIS, accounting, ticketing, CRM, ATS, file storage, and marketing automation integrations. Merge handles the full integrations lifecycle — from an easy initial build taking just weeks, to providing integration observability tools ensuring customer delight, and fully owning the maintenance of integrations. Hundreds of startups like Causal, Assembly, and Telescope trust Merge to power their product integrations at scale, enabling them to accelerate their time-to-market, cut engineering expenses, and acquire more customers. Learn more about Merge and our discounted plans by talking to one of our integration experts. Or watch a product demo from our co-founder! Thanks and let us know what you think! Irene

What's the startup price?
Irene Hu
@jesseoue Hi Jesse - you can get started on Merge completely for free. In terms of the "startup price" - it's really dependent on your use case - what data fields you need synced and how often. You can talk to one of our integration experts to learn more and get tailored pricing based off your needs!

We've been using Merge for over a year, and they've been great. Extremely high responsiveness, the core platform is extremely stable, and the APIs are easy to use. Awesome to see they're launching more broadly!

As someone who has spent a lot of time on product teams building integrations, Merge looks super useful! I feel like more and more tools today need integrations when companies have like 80+ tools in the techs stack. Btw shoutout for great marketing on the video "3 things startups get wrong about integrations" :)
Irene Hu
@harrisonjohnson Thanks Harrison! Really appreciate your comment! Yes, shoutout to our awesome marketer @anthony_lagana1 for putting that video together!!!

This is actually brilliant! Building platform integration is such a time consuming endeavor. Have one product that eliminates integrating to multiple platforms would be great blessing!

While I do see the use case for this product, I disagree with the pain points you’re advertising. The “Hard to access” and “Hard to build” makes me wonder if any developer really thinks this because popular integrations such as Quickbooks, for example is free and has instant signup access same with nearly all other popular integrations and integration takes at most 1 week if you’re slow and there is usually an API implementation specialist that those companies gladly provide you to assist with integration.
Irene Hu
@vashon_lorona_gonzales Hey Vashon! Thanks for the feedback and joining the discussion! Though there are some platforms where building an integrations is quite simple (such as Quckbooks!), when a SaaS company needs to build and scale out dozens of integrations, that's when challenges can appear with API documentation, needing partnerships, etc. A good example is NetSuite which is notoriously hard to build. Totally hear you on using an integration specialists for some, but not all companies provide them. Merge is really here to help any SaaS company that needs to build and maintain multiple integrations but don't want to dedicate time or resources to it!
Shensi Ding
@vashon_lorona_gonzales @irenex hi Vashon! To add to Irene’s point - the most time consuming part of integrations is often the maintenance, and we’ve found that Quickbooks is an exception with how open and dev friendly their ecosystem is!
Vashon Lorona Gonzales
@shensi I hope my comment didn’t come as an attack on the on the product itself. I do see the use case and to your point, I agree with you on the maintenance. My criticism was more towards how it’s being advertised (hard to access, hard to build) unless the platform has integrations with niche platforms like Marqeta which is hard to access and hard to build but I don’t think that’s the case. Maybe saying “difficult to maintain” would be better advertising if your target market is developers because that’s more relatable and speaks better to developers who understands that pain point.

Hi Irene! Congratulations on launching your new startup-friendly pricing! It's great to see solutions like Merge that take the heavy lifting out of integrations for growing companies. The breadth of integrations offered is impressive – it must be a game-changer for startups aiming to scale quickly without the technical overhead. Curious to know, what has been the most common feedback from early adopters about Merge's impact on their product development cycle? Wishing you and the Merge team continued success! Best regards.
Irene Hu
@alex_dulub Thanks Alex for the comment and support! That's a great question -- we see that Merge really helps our customers speed up their product development cycle. One of our customers, 15Five, cited that Merge has "[allowed them] to both build multiple integrations with a single API and debug integration issues easily through Merge’s backend and support team. [They] can confidently say that our development cycle timelines for integration-related activities have been cut in half (if not more).” You can read more about it here: https://www.merge.dev/case-studi...

@alex_dulub Thank you for the kind words!! Appreciate the support. :)
