QFI Terminal is the Yahoo Finance alternative
Yahoo Finance is where most people start, and with 150 million visitors a month it is the most-read finance site in the world. The paid tiers buy things we cannot match: Financial Times and Morningstar research licensed in, and forty years of statements you can export. The limits are theirs to state and they state them — the premium data is domestic, the card has to be US-issued, and there is no API because they are still collecting interest in one.

Pricing
We both have a free plan, and comparing two zeroes tells you nothing. Yahoo Finance sells three paid tiers — Bronze, Silver and Gold. Both prices below are the monthly cost when billed annually.
Their most expensive plan against our cheapest
Gold is the top of everything Yahoo Finance sells: the charts, the screeners, the forty years of history. Plus is the bottom of what we sell, and it costs a little over half as much. The table above is the trade.
