Questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions are month-to-month (or annual) and cancel through your account or Stripe customer portal. No contracts.
What counts as an API request?
One HTTP request to any of our /api endpoints: news list, news detail, ticker news, search. Cached responses on our side don't count against your quota.
What does Free include?
The full website news feed with no daily cap, plus a starter API and MCP allotment (20/min + 100/day each, 1 API key) so you can wire up an agent before paying. Free covers evaluation and non-commercial use; production needs a paid plan. You get the same surfaces as paid customers, just smaller numbers.
Can I redistribute the data in my product?
On Pro, yes. The enriched feed (summaries, relevance scores, per-ticker analysis) can ship inside your own product with visible attribution to alphai.io. Basic covers commercial use inside your organization only. What no self-serve plan covers is reselling the data as a standalone feed, dataset, or API — for that, talk to us about Enterprise.
Are the API and MCP server live now?
Yes. Sign up for any plan (free included), generate an API key from your account, or connect Claude Desktop / Cursor to the MCP server using OAuth. No waitlist.
Do you offer volume or research pricing?
Need more than Pro's 100,000 calls/day? Tell us what you're building and we'll provision a custom plan manually.
Which regions do you bill in?
USD globally. VAT/GST is added where applicable at checkout.
Ready when you are.
Start reading the feed, build with the API, or ship Claude-ready context through MCP.
