The short version

Each has a real cost: Codat the accounting platforms are metering developer access themselves, with Xero introducing tiered connection based developer pricing from 2 March 2026, so a cost you do not control has been inserted between you and the data and it scales with the number of customers you connect.; Weavr products are packaged rather than open, so a flow Weavr does not support is not something you can build around, and you discover the limits after integrating.
They diverge on capability: Codat covers Normalised accounting API, Weavr covers Plug-and-play products.

Where each one falls short

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

Codat

The accounting platforms are metering developer access themselves, with Xero introducing tiered connection based developer pricing from 2 March 2026, so a cost you do not control has been inserted between you and the data and it scales with the number of customers you connect.
Pricing is opaque and enterprise shaped for a product developers expect to evaluate technically first, so build decisions get made before anyone knows the unit economics.
Normalisation hides but does not remove the underlying differences between accounting systems, and edge cases in multi-currency, journals and tax handling surface as data quality problems that your team must reason about in each source system anyway.
Data quality depends on the small business keeping its books properly, so a lender using ledger data for underwriting inherits the bookkeeping standard of its worst borrower and needs its own validation layer regardless.
Connection breakage from expired tokens and platform API changes is an ongoing operational load, and a borrower whose connection lapses stops being monitored silently, which is the failure mode that matters most in a lending portfolio.

Weavr

Products are packaged rather than open, so a flow Weavr does not support is not something you can build around, and you discover the limits after integrating.
Programme economics depend on interchange, and SaaS vendors routinely overestimate how much card volume their customers will actually route through the embedded product.
It is a small company with limited headcount supporting a regulated dependency, which is a real concentration risk for a feature your customers rely on.
Monthly minimums on card programmes mean a slow-adopting customer base leaves you paying for volume you never reach.
European interchange caps hold programme revenue well below what US embedded finance case studies suggest, so imported business cases do not transfer.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Codat: What is changing with Xero in 2026?

Xero is introducing a tiered, usage based developer pricing model effective 2 March 2026, with tiers based on the number of customer connections an app holds. That is a new cost in the chain for anyone reading Xero data at scale, whether directly or through Codat.

Weavr: Do I need my own financial licence?

No. Weavr holds an e-money licence, including a Maltese authorisation for the EU, and acts as the regulated entity for the embedded product.

Codat: Can Codat write data back?

Yes. It supports pushing bills, payments and journal entries into accounting systems, not only reading from them.

Weavr: How is it different from a banking-as-a-service API?

It sells finished product shapes with compliance built in rather than raw banking primitives, which trades flexibility for a much shorter route to launch.

Codat: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted by connected companies, data types and products, and users consistently describe it as opaque.

Weavr: How does Weavr make money?

Platform fees plus per-account and per-card charges, with a negotiated share of card interchange.

Codat: Does it replace bank data aggregation?

Not entirely. It covers banking alongside accounting and commerce, but lenders commonly run it beside a bank aggregator for transaction level cash flow.
