• Nearly half of developers said they are either always or often overwhelmed by the number of tools they use daily.
• Speed ranked highest among respondents when asked to rank the benefits of working with APIs.

• Giving Power to the Developers: Teams can now build, test, and scope out their projects for up to 10 accounts with Nylas for free. Developers can experience Nylas’ easy-to-follow quickstart guides, reducing the hassle of integration while increasing speed and productivity.
• Pricing and Packaging: With Entry, Core, and Plus tiers, developers have the ability to select and customize the plan that best fits their needs.
• Time Savings: Avoid having to build and maintain integrations in-house — resulting in significant cost and time savings and the ability to focus on core business strategies while bringing valuable products and features to market sooner.
