Financial Modeling Prep API Pricing, Free Tier, and Limits
Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) is a market-data API and spreadsheet-data provider for developers, analysts, quants, and product builders who need equities, ETFs, funds, FX, crypto, commodities, macro, ESG, ownership, news, calendars, transcripts, and fundamentals from one vendor. It is strongest when you want REST and WebSocket access plus Excel and Google Sheets add-ins at a lower entry price than enterprise terminals. The main buying questions are plan limits, geography, history depth, and dataset access: the free Basic tier is a limited EOD sandbox, while real-time, global, transcript, 13F, holdings, intraday, and bulk workflows require paid tiers.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
