The short answer
For a solo quant needing fundamentals plus EOD history in 2026, choose EODHD or Financial Modeling Prep for self-serve fundamentals — not Tiingo, which moved fundamentals to a third-party add-on that requires contacting sales. EODHD bundles fundamentals self-serve (€59.99/mo feed, €99.99/mo all-in) with US history to 1985; FMP gates 30-year and non-US data behind its Premium tier. Verified 2026-06-07.
For a solo quant who needs fundamentals plus end-of-day history in 2026, the practical answer is EODHD or Financial Modeling Prep for self-serve fundamentals, and not Tiingo — Tiingo moved fundamental data to a third-party add-on that requires contacting sales, so it is no longer the one-click fundamentals source it once was. EODHD bundles fundamentals into a self-serve plan (Fundamentals Data Feed at €59.99/month, or the All-In-One at €99.99/month) with US history back to 1985; FMP gates full 30-year fundamentals and non-US coverage behind its Premium tier. Tiingo stays excellent for EOD prices and news but defers fundamentals to a partner. All figures verified 2026-06-07. Compare effective annual cost in the Data Vendor TCO.

The thing that changed: Tiingo fundamentals moved to a partner
If you remember Tiingo as the cheap fundamentals source, that is no longer how it works. Tiingo's fundamental data API is now delivered as an add-on in coordination with a third-party provider, and you have to email sales to get access and pricing1. The per-month cost is not posted publicly, so it cannot be compared on a number against EODHD or FMP. Tiingo's own products (end-of-day and intraday prices, news with sentiment) remain self-serve and strong, but for a solo quant who wants standardized financial statements out of one self-serve plan, Tiingo is now the wrong default.
Tiingo: still the EOD-and-news pick, not fundamentals
Tiingo's self-serve plans, verified on the pricing page4:
- Starter (free): 1,000 API requests/day, up to 500 symbols/month, 1 GB bandwidth.
- Power: $30/month (or $300/year): 100,000 requests/day, 96,000+ symbols/month, 40 GB bandwidth.
- Business: $50/month (or $499/year): same access as Power, licensed for internal commercial use.
Coverage is 30+ years of EOD and intraday history plus a news/sentiment API with three months of queryable history4. For price series and news on a budget, Power at $30/month is hard to beat. Fundamentals are the gap, and the gap now routes through a sales conversation1.
EODHD: the self-serve fundamentals bundle
EODHD is the most fundamentals-friendly of the three for a solo quant because the data is on a posted, self-serve plan. Verified prices (in EUR) from the official pricing page2:
| Plan | Monthly | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | 20 API calls/day |
| EOD Historical — All World | €19.99 | 30+ years EOD, 100,000 calls/day |
| EOD + Intraday — All World Extended | €29.99 | adds intraday |
| Fundamentals Data Feed | €59.99 | standardized fundamentals |
| All-In-One | €99.99 | EOD + intraday + fundamentals + news + bonds |
Fundamentals coverage runs back to 1985 for major US companies and 2000 for non-US firms, across 150,000+ tickers worldwide2. Paid plans default to 100,000 API calls/day and a 1,000-requests/minute rate limit2. For a solo quant who wants statements plus prices in one self-serve subscription, the €99.99/month All-In-One is the clean answer, or the €59.99 Fundamentals feed if you already have prices elsewhere. Note pricing is denominated in euros, so the dollar cost moves with FX.
Financial Modeling Prep: fundamentals by tier, US-first then global
FMP gates fundamentals depth and country coverage by plan. The durable, verified plan structure3:
| Plan | Calls/min | Fundamentals history | Country coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (free) | 250 calls/day | ~5 years | Limited |
| Starter | 300 / min | 5 years | US only |
| Premium | 750 / min | 30 years | US, UK, Canada |
| Ultimate | 3,000 / min | 30 years | Global (transcripts, 13F, holdings) |
The catch for a solo quant: Starter is US-only with 5-year fundamentals; full 30-year statements and any non-US coverage start at Premium3. Earnings-call transcripts, ETF/mutual-fund holdings, and 13F institutional holdings are Ultimate-tier. FMP's posted monthly dollar prices vary across its pricing page and third-party listings (and shift with promos and annual discounts), so confirm the current figure on the official pricing page before budgeting — the plan structure above is the stable part. The rate limits (300 / 750 / 3,000 per minute) are the highest of the three and the reason FMP suits a developer hitting many endpoints.
How a solo quant should choose
- You need self-serve fundamentals in one subscription, global coverage: EODHD All-In-One (€99.99/mo) or the €59.99 Fundamentals feed. Posted pricing, no sales call, US statements back to 1985.
- You need high request throughput and US-first fundamentals, willing to step up tiers for depth: FMP — but budget for Premium to get 30-year and non-US data, not Starter.
- You need EOD prices and news cheaply and get fundamentals elsewhere: Tiingo Power at $30/month. Do not pick Tiingo expecting one-click fundamentals — that is a partner add-on now.
- You want statements plus your own price feed: EODHD Fundamentals (€59.99) alongside whatever EOD source you already run.
What to verify before you commit
- Is fundamentals self-serve? Tiingo's are not anymore; EODHD's and FMP's are. Confirm you can subscribe without a sales call.
- History depth at your tier. FMP Starter is 5-year; 30-year needs Premium. EODHD fundamentals reach 1985 (US) / 2000 (non-US).
- Country coverage at your tier. FMP Starter is US-only; EODHD is global from the entry fundamentals plan.
- Currency. EODHD prices are in euros; FMP and Tiingo in dollars. FX moves the euro figure.
- Rate limit shape. FMP posts per-minute caps (300/750/3,000); EODHD is 1,000/min on paid; Tiingo is a daily request budget.
