One free terminal,
one paid one.
Both run against the same production tables measured on the coverage page. The difference is where the app runs and how much history it keeps locally — not which numbers you are allowed to see.
| Web Terminal | Desktop Terminal | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free — account required, no card, no trial countdown | Subscription, monthly or lifetime. A three-day trial runs from first sign-in. The price shown at checkout is authoritative; the public download opens with the release. |
| Where it runs | Browser, data fetched per request | macOS and Windows app with a local data store and offline-capable caches |
| Workspaces | The full set shown in the interface gallery | The same set plus the local history panels that need data on disk |
| Data source | Production tables, same as desktop | Production tables, plus locally retained history |
| Accounts | Watchlists and saved symbols | Same account system; watchlists carry over |
| Not included in any plan | Recommendations, price targets, ratings, order routing, alerts-as-advice, or redistribution of the dataset. Requests for a programmatic feed: /docs/ and GitHub issues. | |
Why the web terminal is free
Browsing the same tables costs us a request, not a licence fee: the data comes from public filings and free sources — SEC EDGAR, BLS, FRED, exchange feeds, issuer holdings files — and the pipeline that turns it into rows runs on our own servers. The paid part is the desktop build: local storage, offline cache, long-history panels and the packaging that keeps them working on your machine.
What a subscription pays for
- Pipelines that run on a schedule and are audited when a source changes shape — Form 4 daily, 13F quarterly, statements per filing, macro per release, options four times a session, news hourly.
- Normalisation across name changes, delistings and restatements, so a comparison uses one formula instead of two vendor definitions.
- Provenance kept with each row: accession or series ID plus retrieval timestamp.
- No advertising, no affiliate placements, no order-flow payment, no sale of your queries.
Trial, renewal and support
- The subscription system records three plan types —
free,monthly,lifetime. Trial rows in production run three days (start date to end date) with no payment instrument attached. - Monthly rows carry an auto-renew flag, so renewal is per subscription rather than all-or-nothing.
- Product defects in the open-source SEC pipelines are tracked as issues on GitHub; terminal-side account and billing questions reach us through the app.
Questions this page does not answer
Exact price figures and currency are held in one place — the checkout screen — so this page cannot be out of date about them. Team and redistribution access, and an anonymous read-only API for scripts and agents, are listed as open items on /docs/.
