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.; Salt Edge coverage outside regulated open banking markets is not all direct bank API, and connections that are not regulated interfaces break when a bank changes its systems, so a headline country count overstates the reliability you will actually experience.
They diverge on capability: Meniga covers Transaction categorisation, Salt Edge covers Account information.

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.

Salt Edge

Coverage outside regulated open banking markets is not all direct bank API, and connections that are not regulated interfaces break when a bank changes its systems, so a headline country count overstates the reliability you will actually experience.
Pricing is not published and is usage-based, so two providers cannot be compared without running both sales processes, and cost grows with the connected user base rather than with revenue.
Support and engineering are distributed across Eastern Europe and Canada, and buyers in other time zones report slower turnaround on connection-specific breakages than they get from a domestic provider.
PSD2 consent rules require customers to reauthenticate periodically, and Salt Edge cannot change that, so any product depending on continuous data must design for consent expiry and the drop-off it causes.
United States coverage is weaker than Plaid or Mastercard Open Banking, so a company with meaningful US volume ends up running two aggregators and normalising between them.

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.

Salt Edge: Who owns Salt Edge?

It is independently owned, unlike Tink (Visa), Finicity (Mastercard) or Yodlee (Envestnet), which matters if your use case competes with the owner.

Meniga: How many banking customers does it reach?

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

Salt Edge: Is all coverage direct bank API?

No. Inside PSD2 markets connections use regulated APIs; elsewhere coverage relies on direct connections whose reliability depends on the bank not changing its systems. Ask for a per-institution answer.

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.

Salt Edge: Does it do payments as well as data?

Yes, payment initiation is supported in European markets where PSD2 applies.

Salt Edge: What does it cost?

Not published. Pricing is usage-based and quoted, though the sandbox is free.
