Who should you choose and why?

✋ Most important consideration

  • Tray.io is a low-cost alternative to MuleSoft but lacks the breadth and scope MuleSoft provides. Therefore, it’s better suited for organizations that have more limited integration scenarios and use cases.

🤔 Strongly consider Tray.io over MuleSoft if

  • You want a tool that has a shorter learning curve and can give your team a quick start.
  • You’re embedding or white-labeling the integration solution into your product. 

🤔 Strongly consider MuleSoft over Tray.io if

  • You’re building a custom connector for your integrations.
  • You are looking to handle B2B integrations that require processing EDI files. 
  • You want a single vendor solution that also offers traffic management and rate-limiting of the APIs you build.
  • You have plans to deploy your integrations on-premises.

📝 Other Notes

  • Tray.io provides code-as-a-service, which appeals to developers.
  • MuleSoft is much more expensive, so avoid it if your organization does not need to build any complex integration scenarios.
