📝 Our Take on Plaid Pricing
Plaid is the default choice for fintech bank integrations — used by Venmo, Robinhood, and thousands of startups. The API is beautifully designed (Stripe-level documentation), and Plaid Link provides a polished, compliant UI for bank connections. The first 100 accounts free makes it accessible for MVPs and side projects.
The first 100 connected accounts are free, which is enough for an MVP. After that, pricing is per-connection (roughly $0.30-$1.50 per connection depending on product). For startups building fintech products, Plaid's pricing is transparent and scales with usage. Compare with Teller for simpler use cases.
