The short version
- Only Zeplo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Flybits its output quality depends entirely on the completeness and accuracy of the underlying bank data it is fed, so a bank with fragmented or poor-quality customer data gets correspondingly weak personalisation.; Zeplo zeplo sits directly in the execution path of your background work, so an outage at a very small vendor means your jobs do not run at all, and there is no published SLA below Enterprise.
- They diverge on capability: Flybits covers Contextual decisioning engine, Zeplo covers URL prefix interface.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Flybits
- Its output quality depends entirely on the completeness and accuracy of the underlying bank data it is fed, so a bank with fragmented or poor-quality customer data gets correspondingly weak personalisation.
- The newer Agentic Banking capability is recent enough that long-term reliability, accuracy and customer trust data at scale are still limited compared with its longer-established contextual decisioning engine.
- Pricing is not published, requiring a licensing negotiation per institution.
- As with Meniga, it is a white-label layer rather than a consumer-facing brand, making independent reputation and reliability harder for a prospective bank client to verify directly.
- Expanding from a rules-based personalisation engine into agentic AI interaction is a significant scope and complexity increase, and a bank evaluating it today should confirm which capabilities are mature and in production versus newly launched.
Zeplo
- Zeplo sits directly in the execution path of your background work, so an outage at a very small vendor means your jobs do not run at all, and there is no published SLA below Enterprise.
- The free Developer tier includes only 500 requests a month and one team member, so it is a demonstration allowance rather than a usable free plan for anything real.
- Overage on the Developer tier is 20 US dollars per 100,000 requests, two hundred times the marginal rate on the Company tier, so exceeding the free allowance without upgrading is expensive.
- Team members cost 15 US dollars each beyond the plan allowance, which is an odd charge on an infrastructure product billed by request volume.
- Log retention is 30 days on both published tiers, so anything requiring longer audit trails on job execution has to be logged separately.
