How pre-sale pricing works.
Pre-sale is 40% off list price for the first 12 months, for pre-registered partners who sign an order form before general availability. Hyperliquid general availability is targeted for Q2 2027, so that is the last window to sign. After 12 months the plan moves to list price, and we tell you 60 days ahead.
Pre-registering is free and does not commit you to anything. Partners who go on to sign get early access in Q1 2027 and their votes on venues and datasets count twice.
fdc_test_) and Hyperliquid data in Q1 2027. Billing starts that month.80% off Researcher for university research.
For accredited university research, historical data only. The plan matches Researcher, with one user per approved project. We ask for a university email address and a short note from a supervisor or principal investigator. The academic rate does not stack with pre-sale pricing and does not expire while the research continues.

Pricing questions.
More in the full FAQ, or write to chris@financedatacloud.com.
Does pre-registering commit me to buy?
No. Pre-registration is free and non-binding. It records your plan, venues and datasets, gives you a vote on what ships first and reserves pre-sale pricing. You commit only when you sign an order form.
When does billing start?
In the month your plan's data becomes available to you. For pre-registered partners that is Hyperliquid early access, targeted for Q1 2027. Nothing is charged before then.
What happens after the 12 pre-sale months?
Your plan moves to list price: $650 a month for Researcher and $2,400 for Desk. We confirm the change in writing 60 days before it applies, and you can change plans or cancel at that point.
Will prices go up as you add venues?
No. Each venue that goes live under a data agreement with the exchange is added to every plan at no extra cost. The plan price stays the same as coverage grows.
What counts as a user?
A named person with their own API key. Service accounts for automated jobs do not count toward the limit, as long as they serve the named users of the same plan.
Can I share or resell the data?
Researcher and Desk are licensed for internal use, and redistribution is not allowed in any form, including non-commercial. Enterprise plans can include redistribution licenses for derived products or display. Details are in the data license.
How do I pay?
Researcher can pay by card, monthly. Desk and Enterprise are invoiced monthly or annually, payable by wire or ACH in USD. Annual prepayment is available on any plan.
