Common Workload Estimates
These are planning estimates only. Actual usage depends on endpoint choice, cache strategy, and whether watchlists are batched into grouped requests.
| Workflow | Pattern | Volume | Plan to evaluate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small watchlist | 25 tickers, hourly on business days | 3,250 requests/month | Pro |
| Daily compliance check | 100 tickers, daily polling | 3,000 requests/month | Pro |
| Active dashboard | 250 tickers, hourly polling | 180,000 requests/month | Ultra |
| Broad monitoring | 1,000 tickers, hourly polling | 720,000 requests/month | Mega |
Decision Rule
Start with the smallest plan that covers evaluation traffic. Move up only after the endpoint is part of a real workflow.
- Use the free tier to verify response shape.
- Use Pro for early polling jobs and low-volume dashboards.
- Use Ultra or Mega when watchlists or refresh frequency grow.
- Use hard limits for jobs that should not create overages.
