The short version

Each has a real cost: Meniga its output quality depends entirely on the transaction data quality the host bank feeds it, so poor underlying data produces poor categorisation and insights regardless of Meniga's own engine.; Tink visa owns Tink, and pay-by-bank exists to move payments off card rails, so the roadmap and pricing of the product you are using to reduce interchange are set by the company that earns the interchange.
They diverge on capability: Meniga covers Transaction categorisation, Tink covers Account data access.

Where each one falls short

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

Meniga

Its output quality depends entirely on the transaction data quality the host bank feeds it, so poor underlying data produces poor categorisation and insights regardless of Meniga's own engine.
Pricing is not published, requiring a licensing negotiation scaled to deployment size.
Growth by acquisition, including the Wrapp rewards platform, means a bank evaluating Meniga for PFM specifically may end up being sold a broader bundle including rewards functionality it did not originally want.
As a white-label layer rather than a customer-facing brand, its own market reputation and reliability are harder for an end consumer, or even a prospective bank client, to evaluate directly compared with a consumer-facing fintech.
It competes with PFM and engagement features increasingly built natively by core banking or engagement platform vendors themselves, such as Backbase, which can reduce the case for a separate specialist layer.

Tink

Visa owns Tink, and pay-by-bank exists to move payments off card rails, so the roadmap and pricing of the product you are using to reduce interchange are set by the company that earns the interchange.
Coverage is Europe only, so a product serving both European and United States users runs a second aggregator with a different data model and a separate contract.
PSD2 connection quality varies sharply by bank, and headline connection counts hide wide differences in success rate, consent lifetime and re-authentication frequency that determine what users actually experience.
Consent under PSD2 expires and requires periodic re-authentication, so any product depending on continuous data access has a recurring user friction it cannot design away, and drop-off at re-consent is a real product problem.
Pricing is quoted with data access and payment initiation priced separately, and there is no published rate card, so small merchants cannot compare pay-by-bank economics against card acceptance without a sales process.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Meniga: Is Meniga a consumer app?

No, it is a white-label platform banks embed into their own branded apps, not sold directly to consumers.

Tink: Who owns Tink?

Visa, since 2022. That is directly relevant if you are adopting pay-by-bank specifically to reduce card costs.

Meniga: How many banking customers does it reach?

Over 100 million banking customers across roughly 30 countries, through its bank clients.

Tink: Do I need my own PSD2 licence?

No. Tink holds AIS and PIS licences from the Swedish FSA passported across the EEA, and customers can operate as its agent rather than obtaining their own authorisation.

Meniga: Does it only do personal finance management?

No, it has expanded through acquisitions like Wrapp into transaction-driven rewards as well as PFM and carbon insights.

Tink: Does Tink cover the United States?

No. It is a European platform. US coverage requires a separate provider.

Tink: How reliable are the bank connections?

It varies by institution far more than the headline count of roughly 6,000 connections suggests. Ask for per market and per bank success rates and consent lifetimes for the banks your users actually hold accounts with.
