Merge is the only scalable Unified API built for enterprise and AI companies
- StackOne doesn’t pre-fetch customer data, leading to performance issues; Merge offers predictable and consistent syncing
- With poorly-built Unified APIs, StackOne lacks the integration depth and nuances your AI use cases require
- Trusted by leading enterprise companies, Merge delivers enterprise-grade infrastructure, reliability, and security

01
StackOne's “on-the-fly" approach results in extremely slow, delayed data syncs
StackOne’s “on-the-fly” model fetches and normalizes data only at the time of each API call, causing delays, sync issues, and bottlenecks. Merge delivers instant, consistent, and reliable data access which is a must for enterprise and AI companies.

02
StackOne’s Documents Unified API is highly limited and lacks admin-auth and ACLs
StackOne is unable to support AI use cases:
- Over-normalizes document hierarchy nuances by combining Knowledge Base and File Storage into a single category
- Only supports individual auth (each user needs to link their own data) which causes higher rate limit usage and increased storage costs
- Lacks access control lists (ACLs) support, creating data access risks
Merge delivers distinct integration categories, super admin and admin-level auth options, and robust permission and data access controls.

Robust Unified API categories
Merge offers Knowledge Base and File Storage as distinct Unified APIs so that all document/ article hierarchy nuances are properly captured
.avif)
Super admin, admin, and individual auth options
Merge is built to handle different authentication levels. Super admin and admin auth are the most efficient and secure ways to sync data across all users.

Access control lists (ACLs)
ACLs are built into the Merge platform and standardized across integrations, ensuring that you can define exactly who can read, write, or access specific data
03
StackOne lacks the storage, security, and integration depth required for enterprise scale
StackOne only can support early-stage startups due to scalability limitations. Merge is the only Unified API with enterprise-ready infrastructure that can handle high-volume data syncs, proven security, flexible data-hosting options, and dedicated support — proven by 200+ 5-star G2 reviews.
