The short version

Each has a real cost: i2c developer experience lags API-native competitors, and teams expecting Stripe-grade documentation and sandboxes find an enterprise integration project instead.; Yodlee ownership has changed twice in two years, from Envestnet to Bain Capital control and then to STG in 2025, so the roadmap is now set by a financial sponsor and long term product direction is harder to rely on than it was.
They diverge on capability: i2c covers Configurable product engine, Yodlee covers Account aggregation.

Where each one falls short

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

i2c

Developer experience lags API-native competitors, and teams expecting Stripe-grade documentation and sandboxes find an enterprise integration project instead.
Implementations lean on i2c or partner professional services, so timelines and costs are set by a services queue rather than by your own engineering speed.
Pricing is per active card and per transaction with monthly minimums, none of it published, so comparing bids requires modelling your own portfolio carefully.
Configuration flexibility means product behaviour lives in platform settings rather than in your repository, which complicates version control, testing and audit trails.
As a private company with a broad global footprint, regional support depth is uneven, and a programme in a smaller market may get thinner service than a flagship account.

Yodlee

Ownership has changed twice in two years, from Envestnet to Bain Capital control and then to STG in 2025, so the roadmap is now set by a financial sponsor and long term product direction is harder to rely on than it was.
Parts of the connection estate still depend on credential based access, which banks and regulators are phasing out in favour of FDX APIs, so coverage will shift as institutions withdraw the older method and the migration is not under your control.
The platform predates modern API design and developers consistently find the integration heavier and the data model more idiosyncratic than newer aggregators, which lengthens build time.
Pricing is enterprise shaped with annual commitments and nothing published, so small and mid sized buyers have no anchor and cannot start without a sales cycle.
Investment data, document retrieval and analytics are licensed on top of core aggregation, so the capabilities that justify choosing Yodlee over a cheaper rival are the ones that raise the price above it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

i2c: Does i2c issue the cards itself?

No. It processes; issuance sits with a bank or licensed issuer, and in most markets you need that relationship separately.

Yodlee: Who owns Yodlee now?

Private equity firm STG, which acquired it from Envestnet in a deal closing in 2025. Envestnet, itself taken private by Bain Capital and Reverence Capital in 2024, retained access through a partnership.

i2c: Can it handle revolving credit?

Yes. Credit, instalments and buy-now-pay-later sit on the same platform as debit and prepaid, which is unusual among modern processors.

Yodlee: Why choose Yodlee over Plaid?

Longer transaction history, deeper investment and held-away account coverage, and document retrieval. Those are wealth management and underwriting requirements rather than consumer fintech ones.

i2c: Is it self-serve?

No. Expect a configuration-led implementation with professional services rather than signing up and calling an API.

Yodlee: Does it still use screen scraping?

Parts of the estate rely on credential based connections, which the industry is phasing out in favour of regulated APIs. Ask for direct API coverage by institution before signing.

Yodlee: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted by connected users, refresh frequency and data types, with investment data and document retrieval priced separately.
