Glassnode vs StockFetcher
Trying to decide between Glassnode and StockFetcher? Here's how they compare on pricing, features, and platforms — and which one fits the way you invest.
Glassnode
Best for on-chain analytics and DEX / defi
Digital asset data + analytics platform (Studio web app + REST API). Studio Standard/Advanced are display-only (no data downloads/API); JSON/CSV downloads are Professional-only. API access (and the Excel add-in) requires a Professional subscription plus an API add-on (contact sales).
StockFetcher
Best for screeners and watchlist
Text-based stock screener with more than 125 technical indicators. Plans are split between Standard and Advanced, with differences in saved filters, watchlist sizes, CSV export limits, symbol-list size, and support for advanced filter syntax. Public pricing appears longstanding rather than recently refreshed: Standard is listed at $8.95/month or $24.95/quarter, Advanced at $16.95/month or $44.95/quarter, with one-time 6-month and 1-year options shown during onboarding. Data is end-of-day with delayed intraday updates, and saved filters can be delivered daily by email.
