DIFFERENCES
Where Unify Int is different.
Finance and product data as the core
Unify Int is built around accounting, ERP, payments and bank feeds next to catalog, inventory, orders and ads, all on the Unify Graph, so a SKU can link to the revenue it posted.
ERP depth for mid-market deals
Subsidiaries, dimensions, custom fields and approval states are part of the ERP model, aimed at NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365 and Acumatica customers.
A Technology Center, not only an API
Strategy workshops, implementation, migration, custom connectors and managed integrations from the team that runs the platform, with a published rate card structure.
AN HONEST VIEW
When Merge may fit better.
You need HR, recruiting or CRM data
If your product needs HRIS, ATS, CRM or ticketing integrations alongside accounting, Merge covers those categories today and Unify Int does not.
You need a provider operating at large scale now
Merge publishes large production scale figures. Unify Int is in developer preview and cannot point to production volume yet.
TECHNOLOGY CENTER
Switching? We run the migration.
The Technology Center maps what you use today to the Unify Graph, runs both in parallel and cuts over in batches.
Migration
Move off Codat, another unified API or in-house code without breaking connections.
Implementation
We scope, build and launch your integrations, then hand them over.
Frequently asked questions
Is Unify Int a Merge alternative?
For finance, commerce and product data integrations, yes. For HR, recruiting, CRM and ticketing categories, Merge covers areas Unify Int does not.
How does pricing compare?
Merge publishes its Launch plan price per linked account. Unify Int prices by active connection and publishes its tier structure and services rate card; amounts show "Talk to us" until set.

Is Unify Int live today?
Unify Int is in developer preview. Sandbox access is available to early-access teams and design partners, and every integration page shows its current status: live, beta, roadmap or via the Technology Center.
