Overview

Impler is a data importer that SaaS products embed so customers can upload CSV and Excel files. You define the columns, and the widget generates a template, maps and validates rows, and lets users correct records inline before the data is passed on. Validation can run custom JavaScript, and imports can also be scheduled from RSS/XML feeds.

Best for: SaaS teams that need an embeddable CSV/Excel import widget instead of building one in-house.
Pricing: Free Starter plan for 2,500 rows a month, then $35/month for 50,000 rows and $75/month for 150,000 rows, with on-premise deployment at $500 a year.
Runs on: Web
