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**Teller.** Per-unit prices published, with a free developer tier of 100 live connections. US only.\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### Teller\n\n1. In sandbox call https://api.teller.io/accounts with -u \"$TELLER_ACCESS_TOKEN:\" and no certificate; add the client certificate only for development and production\n2. On a 404 `enrollment.disconnected.*` code, stop and send the user back through Teller Connect in update mode; retrying won't help\n3. Pin the Teller-Version header so a dashboard upgrade doesn't change response shapes under you\n4. Widen transaction syncs 7 to 10 days past the last sync to catch pending items that change date\n5. Send an Idempotency-Key on every payment request; keys are kept for 72 hours\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Akoya or Teller?\n\nAkoya scores 48.3 (D) on agent readiness against Teller's 42.7 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
