The Problem with Legacy Platforms like MuleSoft!
High integration dependency
MuleSoft’s integration-first architecture adds complexity, high maintenance, and costly licensing.
Developer dependency for everything
Mule flows, connectors, and policies require specialised developers, slowing onboarding and iteration.
Locked into one vendor
MuleSoft’s closed ecosystem makes it difficult to move APIs, modernize stacks, or go hybrid-cloud.
Not built for API products
No native marketplace or productization layer, limiting discovery, reuse, and monetization.

Why choose DigitalAPI over MuleSoft API Management?
DigitalAPI streamlines API management, removes vendor lock-in, and delivers a unified, AI-ready, multi-gateway platform built for modern enterprises.

Developer-first experience
A unified self-serve portal where developers discover, test, and subscribe to APIs across any gateway, rather than stitching portals together.

Built for a multi-gateway & cloud reality
Manage APIs across different gateways (including our own Helix gateway) and clouds from one platform, no lock-in to one runtime.

API monetization & marketplace
Treat APIs as products with built in monetization features and support for billing, pricing, tiering, and much more all out of the box.

Lower operational cost & faster time to value
Get started with the most lightweight gateway with simple onboarding and zero dev effort, which significantly reduces the operational cost and time to achieve a positive ROI.
DigitalAPI vs MuleSoft: Feature Breakdown
Here’s why you should choose DigitalAPI over MuleSoft!
Feature
.png){kind=logo}
Platform Philosophy
Modern, lightweight, API-product-first platform unifying multiple gateways
API management suite focuses heavily on integration and ESB
Vendor Lock-in
Vendor-agnostic: works across any gateway and cloud
Strong lock-in to Mule runtime, connectors, and proprietary ecosystem
Developer Experience
Unified developer portal for discovery, testing, subscription, API GPT, sandboxes
Separate API Experience Hub with noted scalability & permission limitations
Multi-Gateway Support
Offers a lightweight gateway with native support for multiple gateways (Apigee, Kong, AWS, MuleSoft, Azure, custom)
Primarily tied to MuleSoft runtime; limited cross-gateway abstraction

Time to Implement
Fast setup, minimal specialist skill requirements
Longer implementations; high dependency on MuleSoft consultants
API Productization
Built-in API product catalog, monetization, marketplace, pricing tiers
Lifecycle management is strong, but API monetization is limited without add-ons
AI-Readiness
AI-native: API GPT, MCP-ready, AI powered cataloging & sprawl reduction
AI capabilities emerging; not built as AI-native or MCP-first
Unified Analytics
With Flylytics you get a consolidated analytics across all gateways & clouds
Deep monitoring for MuleSoft workloads; less unified cross-gateway visibility
Sprawl & Governance
Automated sprawl detection, duplication alerts, governance policies
Governance tied to MuleSoft runtime; fewer cross-platform controls
Cost & Licensing
Transparent pricing; significantly lower TCO; no specialist lock-in
Premium enterprise pricing; high TCO due to licensing + consulting
Powering business for Fortune 500 companies

Still Using Legacy Platforms
like MuleSoft? Shift to DigitalAPI Today!
Enterprises relying on legacy iPaaS + API gateways like MuleSoft are stuck with high costs, slow change cycles, and complex integrations. This isn't ideal as modern teams need agility, multi-gateway freedom, and AI-ready APIs, not rigid monolithic platforms.
DigitalAPI solves that by offering a native lightweight Gateway Helix and unifying APIs across all other gateways, repos, and cloud environments into one intelligent platform.
You get instant visibility, automated documentation, governance guardrails, and a developer experience teams actually enjoy. With no lock-in and zero engineering overhead DigitalAPI helps you scale securely while reducing operational cost by 40–60%.
