Production needs a security review and a signed agreement, no price is published, and no public status page, SLA, SDK or `llms.txt` was found.\n\n**Powens.** Powens documents a REST API with Markdown docs, cursor pagination, date filters and a hard-delete call for connections, under a French payment institution licence. No OpenAPI file, public price, status page, idempotency key or server SDK was found, and live access needs a signed purchase order.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Akoya\n\n1. Send `x-akoya-interaction-type` (USER or BATCH) and `x-akoya-last-access` on every v3 data call, plus `x-akoya-intent-type` if the app subscribes to Payments\n2. Use the `id_token` as the bearer token. The `/token` response has no `access_token` field, so generic OAuth libraries need adjusting\n3. Treat ID tokens as valid for 15 minutes, refresh on error 602, and store the new refresh token returned by every refresh\n4. Page transactions by following `links.next.href` unchanged. Set `limit`, `startTime` and `endTime` on the first call only\n5. On 429 with code 1207 slow the request rate. On 5xx retry up to three times with exponential backoff\n\n### Powens\n\n1. Ask the owner for the domain name, client ID and client secret from the console. Every call goes to `https://{domain}.biapi.pro/2.0`\n2. Send `limit` on every transactions list. It is required, at most 1,000, and the next page comes from `_links.next.href` used as given\n3. Enable an account with `POST` and `{\"disabled\": false}` only after the account holder consents. Accounts arrive disabled with no transactions\n4. Store the permanent user token as a secret. It does not expire, and the default webhook sends it in the `Authorization` header\n5. Stay under 30 calls a minute in the sandbox and use webhooks in place of polling, as the fair usage policy asks\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Akoya or Powens?\n\nAkoya scores 48.3 (D) on agent readiness against Powens's 42.6 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Powens leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Akoya and Powens need an API key?\n\nAkoya uses an OAuth sign-in. Powens takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Akoya and Powens without installing anything?\n\nYes. Akoya has a hosted endpoint at https://products.ddp.akoya.com and Powens at https://{domain}.biapi.pro/2.0.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/akoya-vs-powens.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/akoya-vs-powens.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"akoya\", \"b\": \"powens\"}`.
