Crypto market data API pricing
Four plans plus pay-per-call over x402. Every plan reads the same market across nine spot venues; what changes is how far back you can look, how fine the windows are, how many columns you can query and how much you can pull. The paid product starts at $29 a month, below the $50 floor most buyers name for order-book data. Agents can skip plans entirely and pay per call, with no account or API key. Building a tool that compares vendors on a buyer's behalf? The same pricing is available machine-readable at /pricing.md.

Where $29 sits among the alternatives
Buyers in this category repeatedly name a $50 to $300 a month ceiling for order-book data. BlackForge Pro is $29, under the floor of that band, and Max is $99 for every column. Here are published entry prices for comparable tools, each checked against the vendor's live pricing page. This is a price comparison, not a ranking: several of these do different jobs, and the honest head-to-heads say where each one wins.

CoinAPI and Kaiko/Amberdata are marked 2026-08-12 from the last live check, because their pages block automated fetches; Kaiko is sales-quoted with no public number.
