The short version

Only Git has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Git licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 as stated on git-scm.com/about; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare; Personetics insight quality depends entirely on transaction categorisation and merchant enrichment, so a bank with poor data produces wrong or embarrassing prompts that damage trust rather than build it.

Where each one falls short

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

Git

Licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 as stated on git-scm.com/about; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
Git is a command line tool by design; graphical workflows and hosted collaboration depend entirely on third party GUIs and hosting services layered on top, per git-scm.com/about

Personetics

Insight quality depends entirely on transaction categorisation and merchant enrichment, so a bank with poor data produces wrong or embarrassing prompts that damage trust rather than build it.
Attributing incremental balances to nudges requires a properly run holdout group, and most banks do not run one, so the business case is usually correlation presented as causation.
Deployment is a six to twelve month data and integration programme, not a plug in, and it competes for the same engineering resource as the digital channel roadmap.
Pricing is enterprise scale and quoted on customer counts, which puts it beyond most community banks and credit unions where engagement gains would be proportionally largest.
It is an engagement layer with no system of record, so if the underlying digital banking app is poor, insights are being layered onto an experience customers already avoid.

Source

Personetics: How is the return on investment measured?

Usually incremental savings balances and engagement lift. Insist on a holdout group in the pilot, or the numbers will overstate the effect.

Personetics: How long does deployment take?

Typically six to twelve months, dominated by data pipelines, categorisation quality and channel integration rather than the product itself.
