Stock API Pricing Use Cases
Sample pricing simulations to help estimate Stock API usage across OHLCV, Level 2, and Level 3 workflows.
Stock API Pricing Use Cases
These use cases show how Stock API pricing can be estimated across common REST workflows.
Each example is based on a specific scenario to help customers understand data transfer, Usage Credits, Pay As You Go pricing, committed plans, and overages.
These examples are pricing simulations only. Actual usage may vary depending on the endpoint used, exchange, symbols, date range, response size, retries, compression, and daily usage volume.
Before using these estimates
Stock API pricing is based on the amount of trade, quote, or order book data transferred from our servers to the client.
Data transfer is measured in GiB, and pricing tiers reset daily.
| Daily data usage | Pay As You Go rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 32 GiB/day | $1.00 per GiB |
| 32 GiB - 128 GiB/day | $0.50 per GiB |
| 128 GiB - 512 GiB/day | $0.25 per GiB |
| Above 512 GiB/day | $0.10 per GiB |
Committed plans reduce the effective cost by allowing customers to purchase Usage Credits at a lower price per Credit.

- Estimated daily or monthly data transfer
- A Pay As You Go estimate
- A comparison across committed usage plans
- Caveats that may affect real-world usage
