Workato connects your stack.Cargo runs the revenue engine.
Workato is an enterprise iPaaS. The artifact is a recipe. Cargo is GTM infrastructure: accounts, enrichment, routing, and plays as primitives — not steps you have to invent.
The difference
Workato connects your stack.Cargo runs the revenue engine on top of it.
Same company, different jobs. Workato's primitives are connectors and steps. Cargo's are the objects a revenue team already thinks in.

In short. Use Workato to move data between systems. Use Cargo when that data has to decide ownership, enrichment, routing, or pipeline.
Built for GTM
What recipes make you rebuild
Workato's primitives are connectors and steps. Cargo's are the objects a revenue team already thinks in.
One GTM data model
Accounts, contacts, deals, and custom objects. Every play and agent reads the same record.
Enrichment without the contracts
Credit-based providers and waterfalls. Test what works before you sign another vendor.
Routing that knows the org
Territory, capacity, ownership, and fallback — not a branch in a recipe.
Plays that fire on change
A row updates, a play runs. Research, qualify, engage. Retried and traced.
CRM-safe writes
Dedupe, protected fields, attribution. Cargo writes to Salesforce and HubSpot without a custom governance layer.
Agents on the same runtime
Agents see account state, ICP, and history. They act through the same rules as your team.
Choosing
When to choose which
Both products have a real job. The decision is which job you are hiring for.
Choose Workato when…
Choose Cargo when…
Both true. Workato is the better iPaaS. Cargo is the better GTM runtime. Teams often keep Workato for the integration estate and run the revenue engine on Cargo.
