The short version

Only Moesif has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
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.; Moesif free tier is aimed at hobbyists and small projects, limiting scale before paid usage-based pricing applies.
They diverge on capability: Akoya covers FDX standard APIs, Moesif covers API traffic monitoring.
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Pricing is unpublished and usage based, which makes it difficult to compare against aggregator pricing during a build-versus-buy decision and forces a sales cycle before you can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.

Moesif

Free tier is aimed at hobbyists and small projects, limiting scale before paid usage-based pricing applies.
Usage-based pricing on the Growth tier can make costs less predictable at high event volumes.
Requires instrumenting APIs with SDKs, adding setup overhead compared to zero-config tools.
Focused specifically on API analytics rather than full API gateway or design functionality.

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.

Moesif: Is there a free plan for Moesif?

Moesif offers a free tier aimed at hobbyists and small projects; after a 14-day trial with full Growth-tier features and 10,000,000 events, accounts move to the free plan.

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.

Moesif: How is usage metered?

Moesif's Growth tier is priced based on the volume of API events processed, supporting usage-based billing use cases for API providers.

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.

Moesif: Can I try Moesif's paid features first?

New accounts get a 14-day trial with full access to Growth-plan features and a large event allowance before being converted to the free plan if not upgraded.

Source

Akoya: Does it help with CFPB section 1033?

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