SwooshConnect vs Building your own OAuth apps
You pay for what you connect. Nothing else.
Every requirement on the right is read from the provider’s own developer documentation and dated. Your client authorizes their own account on the provider’s own consent screen either way — what differs is who keeps the apps, the tokens and the refreshes working.
