The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Akoya coverage reaches several thousand institutions but does not match aggregators that can still scrape, so applications needing the long tail of small credit unions will run a second data provider alongside it.; Jitterbit no public pricing amounts disclosed; all plans require annual contracts and custom quotes
  • They diverge on capability: Akoya covers FDX standard APIs, Jitterbit covers Low-code integration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Akoya

  • Coverage reaches several thousand institutions but does not match aggregators that can still scrape, so applications needing the long tail of small credit unions will run a second data provider alongside it.
  • The network is owned by large banks, so roadmap and coverage priorities reflect owner interests rather than those of the fintechs consuming the data, and a recipient has no leverage over which institutions are added next.
  • Data availability is decided institution by institution, meaning a bank may expose balances but not transactions or investments, and recipients must verify field-level coverage per institution rather than assume the FDX model is fully populated.
  • Pricing is unpublished and usage based, which makes it difficult to compare against aggregator pricing during a build-versus-buy decision and forces a sales cycle before you can model cost.
  • The token model requires the institution to have implemented its side, so newly onboarded institutions arrive on the institution timetable, not yours, and a launch dependent on a specific bank can slip badly.

Jitterbit

  • No public pricing amounts disclosed; all plans require annual contracts and custom quotes
  • Pricing model complex with separate tiers for iPaaS and App Builder products
  • Connection limits, environment counts, and agent allocations vary by tier, making comparison difficult without public pricing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Akoya: Who owns Akoya?

A group of large US banks. It was spun out of Fidelity, which is why Fidelity data access runs through it.

Jitterbit: How much does Jitterbit cost?

Jitterbit does not publish standard pricing. The platform offers tiered plans (Standard, Professional, Enterprise) for both iPaaS and App Builder, all requiring annual contracts. Custom pricing is available based on specific requirements, with discounts offered for nonprofits and educational institutions.

Source
Akoya: Is Akoya screen scraping?

No. It uses FDX standard APIs with OpenID Connect tokens, so credentials are never shared with or stored by the data recipient.

Jitterbit: What's included in Jitterbit's plans?

Jitterbit iPaaS plans include 2-8+ connections, 2-4 private agents, and environments ranging from 2 to 99. App Builder plans include 4-20+ apps with 2-8 instances. Support response times range from 48-hour (Standard) to 6-hour (Enterprise). Specific pricing requires a custom quote.

Source
Akoya: Can we use Akoya alone instead of an aggregator?

Usually not. Its investment and large-institution coverage is excellent, but the long tail of smaller institutions is thinner, so most teams run both.

Akoya: Does it help with CFPB section 1033?

It is designed around it, providing tokenised permissioned access and consumer revocation rather than credential sharing.
