A NANGO ALTERNATIVE FOR AI APPS
Nango is good integration infrastructure: code-first rails to 900+ APIs with managed auth. AI Passport is a different category. The person, not your app, holds the account, and the consent, storage and deletion obligations move out of your stack. If you are choosing between them, the real question is which of those two shapes your product needs.
WHAT NANGO DOES WELL
900+ APIs and code-first control; a hosted Connect UI so your app never sees credentials; usage pricing that starts free and runs $1 per connection per month over plan inclusions; SOC 2 Type II. If you want integration code you fully control, it is a strong pick.
WHERE THE CATEGORIES SPLIT
With Nango your app owns the vendor relationship and the dashboard; scopes are set by the developer; Nango acts as processor while you remain controller, so consent UX, DSARs and deletion stay yours to build; Nango Cloud stores synced records in its own database, pruning payloads after 30 days without an update. With AI Passport the person holds one account across AI apps; they grant category passes with receipts; revocation and deletion propagate without you building them; your servers never hold tokens or archives; $1,000 a month flat.
At small scale Nango's invoice is lower: a hundred users with three connectors each is about $300 a month in connections plus the base plan. The case for AI Passport is not the invoice. It is the consent surface, the custody and the compliance you no longer have to build.
FAIR QUESTIONS
Can we migrate from Nango?
Yes, gradually. Keep Nango for B2B rails and add AI Passport where personal context and consent matter. The two do different jobs.
Is AI Passport also an OAuth proxy?
No. Standard OpenID Connect sign-in plus a server-to-server API; your app reads approved answers, not raw tokens. Read the docs.
What does it cost?
3 months free, 6 for YC companies, then $1,000 a month flat with unlimited users, storage and connectors. The offer is on the startup page.
