Lumino vs. Paragon
From Embedded Integrations to Scalable Autonomy
Paragon accelerates integration launch — Lumino ensures long-term control and flexibility.
Lumino vs. Paragon
Paragon is purpose-built for SaaS companies that want to embed integrations directly into their product. It’s a clever way to launch customer-facing integrations quickly — for fast-moving startups, it’s a tempting shortcut to check the “we have integrations” box without diverting engineering resources.
But while Paragon speeds up time-to-market, it also creates dependency. You’re embedding someone else’s platform inside your own, inheriting their limitations, costs, and roadmap. As your product matures and customer needs diversify, that quick win can become a constraint.
Lumino gives you the same integration power — without surrendering control. Build, manage, and scale customer integrations on your terms, backed by a team that supports your success, not just your API calls.
Paragon at a Glance
Paragon delivers a fast, polished way for SaaS companies to offer native integrations. With hosted UIs, secure auth flows, and pre-built connectors, product teams can launch an “integrations marketplace” in weeks instead of months.
However, Paragon’s convenience comes with tradeoffs. Pricing scales steeply with customer adoption, customization is limited to what their framework allows, and reliance on an external vendor introduces risk. If Paragon goes down, your integrations go down. If your use case doesn’t fit their model, you’re back to custom development — on top of a five-figure annual bill.
For startups needing full control, predictable costs, or support for non-standard integrations, Paragon’s advantages can quickly fade.
Lumino at a Glance

Unlike Paragon, Lumino isn’t a black box. You own your data flows, can tailor integrations exactly as customers need, and scale without usage-based surprises. It’s the freedom to move fast now and build sustainable integration infrastructure for the future.
