Trading Economics Review, Pricing, and Features
Trading Economics
Trading Economics provides indicators, calendars, forecasts, market data, company financials, news, ratings, and events through web, REST, WebSocket, spreadsheet, BI, and AI integrations. It is data infrastructure for dashboards and pipelines, not a broker or adviser. Plans control streaming, limits, and commercial rights.
Best for
- Developers and analysts needing macro indicators, economic calendar data, markets data, forecasts, financials, Excel/Sheets integrations, and API/WebSocket delivery.
- API buyers comparing the Standard, Professional, and Enterprise tiers.
- Teams building dashboards, alerts, AI assistants, or internal research apps that need macro and market data from one vendor.
Watch out
- Guest credentials are limited/sample access. Standard and Professional API plans are billed yearly.
- API docs describe rate limits and endpoint-specific row limits, so high-volume use needs the right subscription tier.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
