Alternatives to Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC)

GuruFocus

Closest replacement

Best for: Value investors looking for long historical fundamentals, GF Score, GF Value, and guru/institutional holdings.

• GuruFocus best matches the base workflow on financial data API, charting and technical analysis, and fundamental research.
• GuruFocus also has a free plan, so you can try it without paying. Free-plan limits: Signup required. A free account has limited access.

Watch for: Paid access is region and tier dependent: Annual paid memberships, region add-ons, API plans, and pay-as-you-go API credits.

MarineTraffic

Best workflow fit

Best for: Investors and operators using vessel movements, port calls, congestion, and AIS history as shipping, commodity, trade, or supply-chain alternative data.

• MarineTraffic best matches the base workflow on market maps, financial data API, and market monitoring.
• MarineTraffic also has a free plan, so you can try it without paying. Free-plan limits: Signup required. A free account is available, and Basic, Essential, and Enterprise are the named online plans; current public prices are inaccessible.

Watch for: API is account-specific: MarineTraffic API services use API keys but are not included automatically with an online plan. Access depends on the account's contract.

Fiscal.ai

Strong runner-up

Best for: Investors who want AI-assisted company research backed by financials, estimates, transcripts, filings, and dashboards.

• Fiscal.ai best matches the base workflow on financial data API, charting and technical analysis, and fundamental research.
• Fiscal.ai also has a free plan, so you can try it without paying. Free-plan limits: Signup required. Free terminal access has dashboard, history, event, and AI prompt limits.

Watch for: Free access is limited: The free API is limited to 100 companies, 50 requests per minute, and 250 requests per day. Deeper history, exports, and some datasets require paid plans.

Portfolio123

Strong runner-up

Best for: Rules-based investors looking for point-in-time stock and ETF simulations.

• Portfolio123 best matches the base workflow on financial data API, charting and technical analysis, and fundamental research.
• Portfolio123 also has a free plan, so you can try it without paying. Free-plan limits: Signup required. Free Manage module is separate from paid Research, API, and DataMiner access.

Watch for: Advanced research is paid: Free Manage covers portfolio tracking. Time-limited access covers screener and backtesting use before a paid Research plan, while API and DataMiner require separate paid access.
