Intrinio

What it is

Intrinio is a US financial data vendor that sells feeds à la carte: US fundamentals parsed from SEC XBRL filings, options prices with Greeks and implied volatility, real-time equity prices, analyst estimates, ETF holdings, ESG and corporate events. Every feed on the pricing page lists the same four delivery routes — API, CSV, S3 and Snowflake — alongside a WebSocket for the real-time products and, since June 2026, a Model Context Protocol server.

The fundamentals are the reason to be here. They are standardised as well as as-reported, which is the difference between writing a valuation model and writing a parser for whatever tag the filer chose that quarter.

Pricing

Two self-serve plans and a quoted one. Individual is $150 a month, billed monthly, and is personal use only — one seat, no redistribution, no display. Startup is $333/month billed quarterly, and the number is a ramp, not a price: six months at $333, six at $666, $999/month thereafter, in return for commercial use and display rights. Enterprise is quoted from a $1,250/month floor — a form and a sales call, not a signup.

The plan is only half the bill. A long list of feeds — NewsEdge, estimates, analyst ratings and target prices, ETF holdings, index constituents, ESG, mutual funds, real-time options, Nasdaq Basic — is marked Enterprise, meaning a sales call rather than a number.

Data & coverage

US equities, ETFs and options, plus OTC and ADR issuers — the vendor counts over 2,500 OTC and 1,500 ADR companies, all of them SEC XBRL filers, and warns in its own help centre that the ADR fundamentals are still under construction and may contain errors. Index levels, index constituents and mutual funds exist, but only as Enterprise feeds.

Real time on the self-serve plans means Intrinio's own derived Fair Market Value feeds, EquitiesEdge and OptionsEdge — proprietary values that track exchange prices closely and sidestep exchange licensing, not an exchange feed. Raw exchange real-time (IEX, Nasdaq Basic, the SIP) is Enterprise only; the delayed feed that ships with every plan is CBOE One at about 15 minutes. Fundamentals run back to 2007.

A screener comes with the fundamentals: a POST endpoint that takes AND/OR/NOT clause logic over hundreds of data tags. It is an API, not a UI — there is no screen to click.

Integrations

Six REST SDKs, all current as of May 2026 — C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, R and Ruby — and a separate set of real-time SDKs for the WebSocket feeds in Python, C#, Java, Node, Ruby and Go. Go exists only on the streaming side; there is no Go client for the REST API.

The MCP server is remote HTTP, authenticates over OAuth or an API key, is included with every plan and is read-only — it cannot place a trade or write anything back. It ships eight named workflows (analyze_company, earnings_review, options_overview, etf_xray, compare_companies, dividend_check, technical_setup, macro_snapshot) and a get_account_status tool that reports what the subscription covers, so an out-of-plan request returns a message naming the product that would unlock it rather than an error.

The Excel add-in is the odd one out. The help centre still documents it, but the API docs and the pricing page do not mention it and its repository has had no commit since April 2019.

Limitations

• No self-serve free tier. A sandbox of free, limited data still exists, but the help centre says it goes to select users after a sales consultation and its docs page 404s, so evaluation in practice means a 14-day trial with a card behind it.
• Fundamentals inherit the XBRL mandate's start date and its gaps: nothing before 2007, and nothing from a filing that was not submitted in XBRL.
• Most of the interesting feeds carry no public price at all. You cannot budget a build from the pricing page unless everything you need happens to sit in the base plan.
• The $150 plan forbids showing the data to anyone else, which rules it out for the obvious side-project use of putting a chart on a web page.
• Non-US equities are not sold at all. Beyond US-listed ADRs, the only global coverage is Enterprise: CBOE's global real-time indices and CFRA's global ETF holdings.

Alternatives

For US fundamentals, Financial Modeling Prep and EODHD undercut it on price and lose on standardisation. For prices rather than financials, Massive (formerly Polygon.io) sells a direct exchange feed with far deeper tick history and almost no fundamentals. Refinitiv and FactSet are what Intrinio's enterprise tier is priced against.

The rest of the field is in market data APIs.
