Polygon.io's Options API, now sold by Massive, has four tiers in 2026: Basic free (5 calls/minute, end-of-day), Starter $29 and Developer $79 (15-minute delayed, Greeks included), and Advanced $199, the only tier with real-time options data and quotes. The ladder was re-read from the official pricing page on 2026-10-111. Greeks and implied volatility come with every paid tier, so the money buys timing, trades, quotes and history depth. Options is billed separately from Stocks, and Polygon.io has traded as Massive since October 30, 20252. Cost it against alternatives in the Data Vendor TCO.
How much is Polygon.io options data in 2026?
| Options tier | Monthly | Billed annually | Timing | History | Trades | Quotes | Greeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | $0 | End-of-day, 5 calls/min | 2 years | No | No | No |
| Starter | $29 | $24/month ($288/year) | 15-minute delayed | 2 years | No | No | Yes |
| Developer | $79 | $64/month ($768/year) | 15-minute delayed | 4 years | Yes | No | Yes |
| Advanced | $199 | $160/month ($1,920/year) | Real-time | 5+ years | Yes | Yes | Yes |
All rows are read from the Options tab of massive.com/pricing on 2026-10-111. Starter and above add unlimited calls, snapshots, WebSocket minute and second aggregates and flat files; Developer adds trades over WebSocket; Advanced adds quotes over WebSocket. Advanced is restricted to non-professional individual users, like the Stocks equivalent1.
Which tier gives real-time options Greeks?
Advanced, at $199/month. Starter and Developer carry Greeks too, but on the 15-minute-delayed feed, so they suit end-of-day volatility surfaces and delayed scanners, not a strategy that prices off the live chain1. The free Basic tier has no Greeks at all.
What does each upgrade actually buy?
- Basic to Starter ($29): Greeks, unlimited calls, intraday delayed data, snapshots, streaming aggregates and flat-file downloads1.
- Starter to Developer ($79): tick-level options trades and 4 years of history instead of 21.
- Developer to Advanced ($199): real-time timing, NBBO-style quotes and 5+ years of history1.
Massive's flat-file documentation shows the same split for bulk data: options day and minute aggregates from Starter, trades from Developer, and quotes only on Advanced, with quotes history starting March 7, 2022 and trades and aggregates history starting June 2, 20143. More detail per dataset is in Massive Flat Files 2026.
Is options data part of the stocks plan?
No. Stocks and Options are separate subscriptions on parallel $0 / $29 / $79 / $199 ladders, so real-time equities plus real-time options means two Advanced plans, $398/month before any annual discount1. The equities ladder is in Polygon.io Pricing 2026. Commercial users are pointed to Options Business at $1,999/month4.
Does OPRA extended trading change anything?
From August 17, 2026, Cboe's options exchange added a 7:30-9:25 am ET session and a 4:00-4:15 pm ET session for selected single-stock options. Massive says the activity is disseminated over the existing OPRA channels and reaches its options feeds with no code changes5. Systems that assume options prints begin at 9:30 ET should check their session filters.
How to pick
- End-of-day volatility research on a few underlyings: Basic, if you can work without Greeks, or Starter with them.
- Delayed scanners and backtests on aggregates: Starter.
- Trade-level backtests (fills, prints, unusual activity): Developer.
- Live strategies on the current chain or quote-level history: Advanced.
Broker-bundled options data is the main alternative; for example, Alpaca's $99 Algo Trader Plus includes the OPRA feed. Run your profile through the Data Vendor TCO below.
