Platforms with on-prem requirements
Serve enterprise and public sector customers that demand single-tenant deployments or private cloud regions.
Riposte vs Apideck
Purpose-built email sync without a hosted intermediary
Apideck focuses on speeding up integrations across CRM, marketing, and other SaaS categories through a cloud proxy. Riposte focuses exclusively on email and calendar so you can run the whole pipeline within your own security perimeter.
- ✓ Install Riposte once and connect every customer tenant through your own domain
- ✓ Extend schemas and queues for product-specific needs without vendor limitations
- ✓ Meet residency requirements by keeping messages and attachments on infrastructure you already audit
Choosing between Apideck and Riposte
Apideck streamlines building dozens of integrations with a single API and hosted marketplace components. Their value lies in breadth: developers wire up one REST API and Apideck handles OAuth, normalization, and caching for a wide range of SaaS providers.
For teams that care most about email and calendar, Riposte's depth matters more than breadth. You run the workers, queues, and storage close to your application so there is no additional vendor sitting between you and customer conversations.
That architectural difference gives your team deterministic performance, lower long-term cost, and the ability to satisfy customers that mandate self-hosted or single-tenant deployments.
