Workato and Zapier were the only two products named in all six answers, a clean 6 of 6 each. We put the six questions a buyer actually types about iPaaS software to ChatGPT and Gemini on 2026-08-04, gave each question one live web search, and wrote down every product named and every source cited. Across all six framings, from "best" to "free" to "most affordable," those two names never missed.
Celigo was the clear third pick at 4 of 6. After that the field thins fast: Boomi and Jitterbit tied at 3 of 6, then a five-way logjam at 2 of 6 covered Make, MuleSoft, Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, n8n and ONEiO. The tail is long. 14 of the 24 distinct names we recorded showed up in exactly one of the six answers and vanished from the other five.
A note before the standings mislead you: some vendors were counted under two labels, and we kept them separate because the data does. MuleSoft (2 of 6) and Mulesoft Anypoint Platform (2 of 6) are the same company. Boomi (3 of 6) and Dell Boomi (1 of 6) are the same company. SAP (1 of 6) and SAP Integration Suite (1 of 6) are the same company. We never merged those into a bigger number the measurement did not actually produce.
The shortlist changed with almost every question
This is the part worth studying. The bare "best ipaas software" question returned an 8-name list: Zapier, Celigo, Workato, Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, Boomi, Jitterbit, SnapLogic and ONEiO. SnapLogic appeared here and in none of the other five answers, its only mention in the whole set.
Add "for small teams" and that roster mostly collapsed. Only Zapier and Workato kept their spot. Celigo, Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, Jitterbit, SnapLogic and ONEiO all fell out of the 7-name answer, and in came Make, n8n, a relabelled Dell Boomi, Integrately and Klamp.ai. Integrately and Klamp.ai appeared in this one answer and nowhere else across the six.
"Best free ipaas software" rewrote the list again. It kept Zapier, Workato, Celigo and Make, then added three names that appeared in no other answer: ApiX-Drive, Skyvia and Paragon. The free framing surfaced tools built around free tiers that the plain "best" question never mentioned.
"Most affordable ipaas software" produced a different mix of eight: Jitterbit, Tray.io, Workato, Zapier, Celigo, SAP Integration Suite, Mulesoft Anypoint Platform and Boomi. Tray.io and SAP Integration Suite were unique to this question. Notice the split: "free" pulled in lightweight tools like ApiX-Drive and Skyvia, while "affordable" leaned back toward mid-market and enterprise names like Boomi and Mulesoft Anypoint Platform. Same buyer intent on the surface, two completely different shortlists.
The two open-ended questions behaved like the bare "best" query. "What ipaas software should I use" was the only answer to name Oracle Integration Cloud, Frends and Unito. "Ipaas software recommendations" was the only one to name SAP and ServiceNow. MuleSoft showed up in both, under the label "MuleSoft," while the "best" and "affordable" answers called the same vendor "Mulesoft Anypoint Platform."
The takeaway from the fan-out: only Workato and Zapier survived all six framings at 6 of 6. If you sell iPaaS and you only ever check the plain "best ipaas software" query, you are seeing one of six answers your buyers get, and missing the 14 names that each surfaced in only one answer, many of them only after someone adds "free," "affordable," or "for small teams."
The pages behind the answers
One source appeared in every single answer: reddit.com, cited in all 6 of 6. Community discussion, not any vendor's marketing, was the most consistent input to these iPaaS recommendations.
The review directory G2 was close behind: g2.com fed 5 of 6 answers, and its editorial arm learn.g2.com fed another 3. Gartner appeared in 3 of 6. The directory buyers most expect to see next, Capterra, did not appear in any of the six answers, and GetApp (getapp.ca) showed up just once.
Here is the finding that matters most for anyone selling in this category. The joint second most-cited source, tied with G2 at 5 of 6, was a vendor's own website: oneio.cloud. ONEiO is a small integration vendor, and its own domain fed more answers than Gartner did. ONEiO the product was then named in 2 of 6. The vendor published the comparison, the assistants read it, and the vendor landed inside the shortlist it wrote.
ONEiO was not alone. unito.io fed 4 of 6 answers, and Unito was named in the one answer, "what ipaas software should I use," that cited it. useparagon.com fed 2 answers, and Paragon was named in the "best free" answer that cited it. Skyvia and ApiX-Drive each had their own domain cited in the exact "best free" answer that named them. Across all six answers, vendor-owned domains filled 15 of the 40 source citations we logged, nearly 4 in 10.
What actually gets a vendor named here
The counts do not track company size. Boomi is one of the most established enterprise names in integration and landed in 3 of 6 under its main label; MuleSoft, another giant, managed 2 of 6. ONEiO, a fraction of their size, matched MuleSoft at 2 of 6 and had its domain cited in 5 of 6 answers, more than any analyst or directory. Presence in the pages the assistants read, not market share, decided the outcome.
So the route to getting named in iPaaS is specific and copyable. Be in the Reddit threads, because reddit.com fed all 6 answers. Be in G2, which fed 5. And, as ONEiO, Unito and Paragon each demonstrate, publish your own honest category comparison, because vendor-owned roundups accounted for 15 of the 40 sources here and repeatedly placed their authors on the list. None of that is about having the biggest product. It is about being present in the exact handful of pages these two assistants pulled.
The full list, counted
| Product | Named in | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Workato | 6 of 6 | 100% |
| Zapier | 6 of 6 | 100% |
| Celigo | 4 of 6 | 67% |
| Boomi | 3 of 6 | 50% |
| Jitterbit | 3 of 6 | 50% |
| Make | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| MuleSoft | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Mulesoft Anypoint Platform | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| n8n | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| ONEiO | 2 of 6 | 33% |
Share is the count out of six answers. MuleSoft and Mulesoft Anypoint Platform are the same vendor under two labels, as are Boomi and Dell Boomi (1 of 6, further down the list), which is why you see them on separate rows here rather than combined into a number the measurement never produced.
Where Glotier fits
Glotier does not sell iPaaS software, so we are correctly absent from all six of these answers, and that is exactly right. We would never fake our way onto a list we do not belong on.
But the measurement above is precisely what Glotier does, run against a category we happen not to compete in. We ask ChatGPT and Gemini the questions your buyers ask, we count who gets named across all six framings rather than just one, and we show you the exact pages, the Reddit threads, the G2 entries, the vendor roundups, feeding those answers. If you sell in a category like this one, the check is free, needs no account, and takes about a minute. You can see your own 6-of-6, or your absence, today.
