A Modern Financial Data Provider for Fintechs and Institutions

April 29, 2025

When it comes to powering financial innovation, data quality, affordability, and ease of access are critical.

That’s where Intrinio stands apart.

Intrinio is a modern financial data provider, purpose-built for fintech companies and financial institutions that demand high-quality data, powerful APIs, and fair pricing — without the compromises and frustrations that come with legacy vendors.

Affordable, But Without Sacrificing Quality

Intrinio is often recognized as the most affordable financial data provider on the market — especially relative to the institutional-grade quality and support we offer.

Are there cheaper providers?
Yes — but with major caveats.
Many low-cost vendors cut corners by:

  • Scraping financial data illegally from public sources

  • Violating exchange agreements and licensing rules

  • Ignoring rigorous compliance standards

  • Skimping on customer support and infrastructure

  • Delivering poor data quality with gaps, errors, and inconsistencies

Choosing the cheapest data provider can create major risks: fines from exchanges, poor user experience inside your application, and countless engineering hours spent cleaning up bad data feeds.

At Intrinio, we believe affordability should not come at the cost of compliance or quality.
Our pricing is achievable because we’ve invested heavily in data technology, machine learning pipelines, and operational efficiencies — not because we compromise on ethics or standards.

If you're looking for the best value for your investment — meaning exceptional data quality, real compliance, reliable service, and innovation — Intrinio is unmatched.

Built on Innovative Technology and Processes

Intrinio’s ability to deliver high-quality financial data at affordable prices is driven by our tech-first DNA and systematic backend processes.
Key innovations include:

  • Machine Learning (ML) models for automated anomaly detection, catching issues before they ever reach customers

  • AI-driven normalization to harmonize data across sources and formats

  • Systematic QA layers that monitor real-time, delayed, and historical data streams

  • Internal tools and pipelines that allow for scalable, efficient updates to datasets

This heavy investment in technology over headcount has allowed Intrinio to scale rapidly without sacrificing what matters most: accuracy, timeliness, and trustworthiness.

While many legacy vendors are weighed down by outdated processes, Intrinio was designed to build financial data better — setting a new standard for quality and innovation in the industry.

For Developers, By Developers

At Intrinio, we know firsthand what it’s like to integrate financial data — because we started as developers ourselves.

Our platform is built to serve developers and technical teams first:

Financial data integration shouldn’t be a black box.

Whether you’re building a consumer investing app, an algorithmic trading platform, a research tool, or an institutional analytics dashboard, Intrinio gives developers the power and flexibility they need to move faster and build better.

And because Intrinio was built by developers, for developers, we deeply understand the need for clear documentation, sample code, and transparent support — not endless contracts and delays.

Pricing That Grows With You

Intrinio’s pricing model is designed to scale with your business, not against it.

For startups, developers, and early-stage fintechs, pricing starts as low as $750 per quarter — providing affordable access to critical financial datasets.

As your product grows and your data needs expand, Intrinio offers scalable solutions reaching up to $60,000 per year, tailored for mature fintechs and large financial institutions with complex requirements.

Pricing factors include:

  • The number and types of data sets you subscribe to (e.g., real-time options data, historical tick data, US fundamentals)

  • Your use case (e.g., display, internal analytics, algorithmic trading)

  • The size and stage of your business (early-stage startup vs. multi-billion-dollar platform)

Intrinio’s flexibility ensures you’re only paying for the data you need, with room to grow over time.


It’s the perfect model for scaling fintechs — without overcommitting before your product-market fit is locked in.

Fast, Easy Access — Without the Headaches

Legacy financial data vendors are notorious for making onboarding a nightmare — multi-month negotiations, complex approval processes, opaque pricing structures, and endless paperwork.

Intrinio takes a radically different approach:

  • Free two-week trials so you can test real datasets risk-free

  • Quick activation, often within minutes of reaching out

  • Streamlined exchange approvals (where applicable) handled by our team

  • Clear, accessible licensing terms that don't require a law degree to understand

Instead of waiting weeks or months to start building, Intrinio clients often have live data flowing into their apps within a day of contacting us.

We believe getting access to the financial data you need should be fast, simple, and transparent — and we’ve built every part of our front-end experience to make that possible.

Intrinio’s customers span the full range of the financial ecosystem:

  • Early-stage fintechs building next-generation trading, investing, and wealth management platforms

  • Quantitative research teams at hedge funds and proprietary trading firms

  • Traditional financial institutions seeking better alternatives to expensive legacy providers

Our clients value Intrinio's combination of affordability, quality, innovation, and support — a rare balance that few other data providers can achieve.

Whether you’re a developer launching your first trading app or a global financial firm optimizing your data stack, Intrinio offers the tools and trust you need to succeed.
