Axes average three dimensions each: access, third-party access and exit horizontally; action, continuity and business logic vertically. Fixed 0–10 scale, midlines at 5 (overall grades use separate weights). * Some evidence is unresolved. Marker colors identify companies, not score bands. How to read the map ↗

Permute is included as a reference (it owns this site and is a publisher self-assessment). Its score is excluded from sample averages. Read the Permute review ↗

Inventory product APIs and order workflows have declared object boundaries. A product collection does not establish complete stock, accounting or production-history recovery.

Who can connect?

Credentials and approval by connection method

Yes No- Unknown

A check means the column applies to that route (customer credentials can still require provider approval). Report exports use the customer account without separate API credentials. Open a connection method for its authentication, requirements and last review date.

What each review covers

Unleashed ↗

Unleashed exposes an iterable product catalog, modified-since queries and named product create/update operations. Product webhooks include update and deletion identities; their bounded retries are distinct from a retained change log. Product CSV export offers a separate current-copy route.

Cin7 Core ↗
