Costs of building with the Microsoft Exchange API vs. the Nylas APIs

As your platform scales and your user base grows, so do costs for maintaining a custom Microsoft integration. These costs include:

  • Operating servers
  • Onboarding and training teams to specialize in EAS/EWS
  • Supporting the integration and troubleshooting bugs
  • Spending time specializing in EWS, EAS, and other protocols
  • Pursuing and maintaining compliance certifications

With Nylas, none of these costs apply — we manage servers, specialization, security certifications, and provide world-class support SLAs.
