Arcade.dev

Arcade.dev and Unified.to are integration platforms for AI agents with different primary approaches: Arcade.dev is an actions runtime focused on executing vendor-specific tools for authenticated users, while Unified.to provides a normalized API and hosted MCP server that unifies data and actions across 1,250 integrations in areas such as CRM, HR, ATS, accounting, and payments. Both support Streamable HTTP MCP, bring-your-own OAuth, multiple SDKs, and enterprise deployment options, but Arcade emphasizes per-user actions in productivity and developer applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, and Figma, along with self-hosting, air-gapped deployment, policy hooks, and management of third-party MCP servers. Unified.to emphasizes consistent cross-vendor object models, webhooks and virtual change events, database synchronization, regional hosting, and limited operational-only logging rather than payload retention. Arcade offers a free tier and lower entry pricing but charges by tool call and authentication event, whereas Unified starts at $750 monthly with large API-call allocations and unlimited connections. The comparison concludes that Arcade is better suited to agents acting within individual tools or requiring extensive deployment control, while Unified is more appropriate for products needing standardized data, background synchronization, and multi-vendor integration coverage; the two can also be used together.
