Tickerbot vs Twelve Data

Twelve Data meters everything in credits — per endpoint, per symbol, per minute — so market-wide questions become arithmetic about your plan. Tickerbot has no credit math: the whole market as one computed table of every ticker × every signal — scan it live, replay any past moment, or subscribe to state changes.

Free plan. Every ticker, every signal, real-time data, all-time history.

head to head

The raw feed vs the computed table.

Twelve Data hands you the raw feed; everything above it is your job. Tickerbot serves the whole market as one computed table — SQL in, answers out.

	Tickerbot	Twelve Data
Market data	One computed table, every ticker	Raw / series data, credit-metered
Signal compute	411+ named signals, precomputed	Indicator endpoints, credits per symbol
Query interface	SQL across the whole market	REST, one symbol per call
History	Replayable — any past moment (as-of)	Raw history series
Push delivery	Webhook when your condition matches	Websocket from the $229/mo tier
Free tier	60 req/min · 10K calls/mo	8 credits/min · 800/day

the honest version

Where Twelve Data fits — and where it costs you.

What Twelve Data does well

Broad multi-asset, multi-exchange coverage — global equities, forex, and crypto under one key.
Tidy, consistent API design with good docs and official SDKs.
Spreadsheet-friendly — Excel and Google Sheets add-ons.

What’s left on your plate

Credit arithmetic shapes everything you build: each endpoint costs credits per symbol, so “check 5,000 tickers” is a plan-sizing problem before it’s a code problem. On Tickerbot that’s one scan call.
Indicators are computed per request, per symbol — not historized, not queryable across the market.
Real websocket streaming starts on the $229/mo Pro plan; the free and $79 tiers get an 8-credit trial socket.
The free tier’s 800 requests/day evaporates the moment you look at more than a handful of symbols.
