The short version

  • Only Fig has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Fig shut down on 1 September 2024. Amazon acquired Fig in August 2023 and folded it into Amazon Q Developer, which now carries the terminal autocomplete; Finxact fiserv sells several core platforms, so a buyer should demand written investment and support commitments for Finxact specifically rather than trusting that the surviving brand implies a protected roadmap.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Fig

  • Shut down on 1 September 2024. Amazon acquired Fig in August 2023 and folded it into Amazon Q Developer, which now carries the terminal autocomplete
  • The standalone desktop app is no longer available or supported
  • The completion specs remain open source on GitHub, but the product that consumed them is gone

Finxact

  • Fiserv sells several core platforms, so a buyer should demand written investment and support commitments for Finxact specifically rather than trusting that the surviving brand implies a protected roadmap.
  • Core migration is a multi year programme where the licence is a small share of total cost against integration, data migration and parallel running.
  • Buying the core from Fiserv strengthens a relationship that already covers cards and payments, which weakens your negotiating position across the whole estate at renewal.
  • It is a United States product with United States regulatory and product assumptions, so international banks get little from it.
  • Being part of a very large vendor changes the service experience: the responsiveness that made Finxact attractive as a startup is not guaranteed inside a company of Fiserv's scale.
