The full-service FarApp alternative
If you want more than a self-service connector, In8Sync delivers native NetSuite integrations with hands-on build, support, and custom development from NetSuite specialists.
In8Sync DirectConnect is a native, full-service alternative to FarApp for NetSuite. It installs as a SuiteApp and syncs your sales channels, 3PL, CRM, payments, and POS in real time inside NetSuite — built and supported for you rather than self-service, with custom SuiteScript available whenever a standard connector falls short.
In8Sync vs FarApp, side by side
How a native NetSuite SuiteApp compares with FarApp across the things that matter most.
| In8Sync | FarApp | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Natively inside NetSuite, installed as a SuiteApp | A hosted connector service that bridges NetSuite and your channels |
| Integration layer | None — sync logic executes inside your NetSuite account | A connector layer sits between NetSuite and each channel |
| Service model | Full-service — In8Sync builds, configures, and supports it for you | Largely self-service connector setup and mapping |
| Customization | Custom SuiteScript written in-house for non-standard workflows | Configurable field mappings within the connector |
| Scope of integrations | eCommerce, marketplaces, 3PL/WMS, CRM, payments, POS, and custom | Focused on eCommerce, marketplace, and POS connectors |
| Ownership & roadmap | Independent NetSuite specialist partner (SDN-certified) | Part of the Oracle NetSuite product lineup |
| Pricing model | Per-integration bundle — no per-connection metering | Per-connection subscription |
| Best fit | Teams wanting native sync plus hands-on build and support | Standard storefront connections set up self-service |
Native by design, managed by specialists
The advantages of keeping your NetSuite integration inside NetSuite.
Truly native to NetSuite
DirectConnect runs as a SuiteApp inside NetSuite rather than as a connector service alongside it — fewer moving parts and no external bridge to depend on.
Built and supported for you
An SDN-certified team scopes, configures, and maintains your integration end to end. You are not left mapping fields and troubleshooting a connector on your own.
Goes beyond standard connectors
When a channel needs logic a packaged connector cannot express, our developers extend the bundle with SuiteScript inside your account — no external runtime.
One partner across every channel
eCommerce, marketplaces, 3PL, CRM, payments, and POS come from the same team on the same native platform — not a patchwork of separate connectors.
Real-time, event-driven sync
Syncs fire the moment a record changes in NetSuite — no polling windows or batch jobs adding lag between your storefront and your ERP.
Predictable per-integration cost
Pricing is per integration, not per connection or per order, so adding volume does not inflate your bill.
When FarApp may be the better fit
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. FarApp can be a stronger choice when:
- You want a low-touch, self-service connector for a standard storefront and are comfortable configuring and maintaining it yourself.
- You prefer to stay entirely within Oracle NetSuite’s own product lineup and roadmap for every add-on.
- Your integration needs are limited to common eCommerce or marketplace channels with no custom workflow requirements.
