Why do people look for a Plaid alternative?

Connectivity issues with some banks causing frequent disconnections and relinking, including weaker reliability for Indian banks. Limited bank coverage, notably affecting Canadian users and gaps for some institutions. Customer support criticized for slow response times and unhelpful automated replies. To be fair to Plaid: access to the largest financial data network, spanning 12,000 institutions across 20 countries; 1 in 2 banked adults in the u.s. use plaid. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
