The short answer
For long-horizon EOD-and-fundamentals research in 2026, EODHD wins on documented breadth and global coverage (free 20 calls/day, EOD All-World EUR 19.99/mo, fundamentals EUR 59.99/mo, all-in EUR 99.99/mo) while Tiingo wins on the price floor: a free Starter tier, Power at $30/mo, IEX real-time on every plan, and a $50/mo self-serve commercial license. Both verified 2026-07-12.
For long-horizon, fundamentals-and-EOD research in 2026, EODHD and Tiingo are the two low-cost data vendors worth comparing, and they split on breadth versus price floor. EODHD's pricing is fully and publicly documented: a free plan (20 calls/day), an EOD All-World plan at €19.99/mo, a Fundamentals feed at €59.99/mo, and an All-In-One bundle at €99.99/mo, all on a 100,000-calls/day, 1,000-requests/minute envelope on paid tiers. Tiingo's ladder, verified 2026-07-12 from its pricing page's own embedded plan data, is a free Starter tier, Power at $30/mo ($300/yr), and a $50/mo ($499/yr) commercial license, with IEX-sourced real-time on every plan including free. EODHD wins on documented breadth and global ticker coverage; Tiingo wins on the price floor, real-time-everywhere, and the cheapest self-serve commercial license. Price either in the Data-Vendor TCO Calculator.

Both vendors re-verified 2026-07-12 on their pricing pages. EODHD's figures are unchanged; Tiingo's figures replace an older unverified snapshot (see the correction note below).
What changed as of 2026-07-12
- Tiingo's figures are corrected and now verified. Earlier versions of this comparison carried a stale snapshot (Starter ~$10/mo, Power ~$50/mo) flagged as unconfirmable because the pricing page is JS-rendered. On 2026-07-12 the plan data was read from the page's own embedded plan JSON and cross-checked against Tiingo's official app bundle: Starter is free, Power is $30/mo ($300/yr), and the $50/mo ($499/yr) figure is the separate internal-commercial license (max 2 developers). There is no $10 tier.
- Tiingo fundamentals is an add-on, not a Power inclusion. Fundamental data via the API is priced as a separate add-on; it is not bundled into Power. Earlier versions of this page said otherwise.
- EODHD re-verified, unchanged: Free 20 calls/day, EOD All-World €19.99/mo, EOD+Intraday €29.99/mo, Fundamentals €59.99/mo, All-In-One €99.99/mo, 100,000 calls/day and 1,000/min on paid tiers.
Pricing side by side
The two vendors structure their plans differently:
- EODHD splits by data type and lets you buy only what you need, all on the same generous request envelope. The Free package is 20 calls/day at 20/minute with a past-year data range; EOD Historical Data (All World) is €19.99/mo for end-of-day across 150,000+ global tickers with 30+ years of history; EOD+Intraday (All World Extended) is €29.99/mo; the Fundamentals Data Feed is €59.99/mo; and the All-In-One package at €99.99/mo bundles all of them plus a corporate-events calendar and bonds data. Every paid tier carries 100,000 API calls/day and a 1,000-requests/minute rate limit. Annual billing knocks the All-In-One to €83.33/mo (verified 2026-07-12).
- Tiingo sells a genuinely free Starter tier (30+ years of EOD equities, the news API, crypto, and the IEX real-time feed, capped at 50 requests/hr, 1,000/day, and 500 unique symbols/month) and one paid retail tier: Power at $30/mo or $300/yr, which lifts the caps to 10,000 requests/hr, 100k/day, and 40 GB/mo of bandwidth and adds intraday IEX bars. Fundamentals is a separate add-on. The $50/mo ($499/yr) Commercial plan is a license upgrade — internal commercial use for up to two developers — not a feature upgrade (verified 2026-07-12).
For a builder who wants only EOD pricing on global names, EODHD's €19.99 All-World plan covers far more tickers than Tiingo. For a US-centric researcher, Tiingo's free Starter is the lowest credible entry in this pairing, and $30/mo buys the full symbol universe.
Coverage and data breadth
EODHD's pitch is breadth: 150,000+ tickers across global exchanges, with end-of-day, intraday, fundamentals, news, corporate events, and bonds available as a single All-In-One subscription. If your research spans non-US markets, that coverage is the deciding factor.
Tiingo's catalog is larger than its US-centric reputation suggests — 108,843 securities, of which 49,004 are US and Chinese stocks and 59,839 are ETFs and mutual funds — plus crypto and forex feeds, but no options. Its exchange breadth is still narrower than EODHD's, and its distinctive strengths run the other way: 30+ years of EOD history on every tier including free, and an IEX-sourced real-time WebSocket firehose on every plan.
The framing: choose EODHD when global exchange coverage or a-la-carte data-type buying matters; choose Tiingo when you want the cheapest credible US EOD entry, real-time included, and can price the fundamentals add-on separately.
Rate limits and reliability
Both envelopes are now documented and verified (2026-07-12):
- EODHD paid tiers publish a clear envelope: 100,000 API calls/day and 1,000 requests/minute, generous for retail research and predictable to design against.
- Tiingo meters hourly requests plus bandwidth: free Starter at 50 req/hr, 1,000/day, and 500 unique symbols/month; Power at 10,000 req/hr, 100k/day, and a 40 GB/mo bandwidth cap. The bandwidth cap is the one that bites on bulk backfills — batch your pulls and cache aggressively.
The earlier caveat that Tiingo's limits were "not machine-readable" no longer applies; the figures above come from Tiingo's own page data and app bundle.
Decision guidance
- Global ticker coverage, non-US markets: EODHD, 150,000+ tickers, €19.99/mo for EOD All-World.
- Cheapest credible US EOD entry: Tiingo's free Starter ($0, 500 symbols/mo); Power $30/mo for the full universe.
- Fundamentals on a documented budget: EODHD's Fundamentals feed (€59.99/mo) — Tiingo's fundamentals add-on is priced separately, so EODHD is the predictable buy.
- Real-time on a budget: Tiingo: IEX-sourced real-time WebSocket on every plan, including free.
- Everything in one subscription: EODHD All-In-One (€99.99/mo, €83.33 annually) for global breadth.
- Self-serve commercial license: Tiingo Commercial at $50/mo ($499/yr), internal use for up to two developers.

Frequently asked questions
- EODHD vs Tiingo: which is cheaper?
- Tiingo. Its Starter tier is free (50 requests/hr, 1,000/day, 500 unique symbols/month, 30+ years of EOD history), and the paid Power tier is $30/mo ($300/yr) — below EODHD's €19.99/mo EOD All-World entry on list price. EODHD counters with far broader coverage: 150,000+ global tickers versus Tiingo's 108,843 securities. Both verified 2026-07-12.
- Which has better global coverage, EODHD or Tiingo?
- EODHD, with 150,000+ tickers across global exchanges and 30+ years of history. Tiingo lists 108,843 securities — 49,004 US and Chinese stocks plus 59,839 ETFs and mutual funds — with crypto and forex but no options and narrower exchange breadth. If your research spans non-US markets, EODHD is the clearer choice.
- What are EODHD's and Tiingo's rate limits?
- Paid EODHD plans carry 100,000 API calls/day and a 1,000-requests/minute limit; the free plan is 20 calls/day at 20/minute. Tiingo's free Starter allows 50 requests/hr, 1,000/day, and 500 unique symbols/month; Power lifts that to 10,000/hr, 100k/day, and a 40 GB/mo bandwidth cap — the bandwidth cap is the binding constraint on bulk backfills. Both verified 2026-07-12.
- Does EODHD or Tiingo include fundamentals?
- EODHD sells a dedicated Fundamentals Data Feed at €59.99/mo (or inside the All-In-One at €99.99/mo) with documented pricing. Tiingo's fundamental data is a separate add-on priced on top of its plans — it is not bundled into Power, contrary to what older comparisons claimed. For a predictable fundamentals line item, EODHD is the documented buy.
