# What does a fund data API cost?

**Short answer:** FundFacts API is free for 5 lookups a month with no card. Starter is $9.99 a month for 60 requests with portfolio look-through, holdings overlap, batch calls of 10 ISINs, a watchlist of 10 funds with e-mail alerts, webhooks and the change feed, and the AI companion kit; Pro is $49 for 1,000 requests with 50 ISINs per call, a watchlist of 100 funds, white-label factsheets, document extraction, fund history and a commercial licence; Scale is $249 for 10,000 requests with the change feed and webhooks on every fund and bulk export; Enterprise is metered at $0.01 per request on invoice. One request is one fund found (a PDF factsheet is two); search is free, and so are misses, up to 15 a month or the plan's allowance if larger.

## The plans

| Plan | Price | Requests / month | Batch size | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 5 | 1 | Full payload, search, docs; personal use |
| Starter | $9.99 | 60 | 10 | Portfolio look-through, holdings overlap, batch lookups, HTML / PDF factsheets, a watchlist of 10 funds (e-mail alerts, signed webhooks, change feed), AI companion kit, 2 keys |
| Pro | $49 | 1,000 | 50 | 50 ISINs per batch, portfolio or overlap call, a watchlist of 100 funds, KID / factsheet extraction, fund history, white-label factsheets, client reports, commercial use, 10 keys; $0.05 per extra request, capped |
| Scale | $249 | 10,000 | 200 | Change feed and signed webhooks on every fund in the store, bulk NDJSON export; $0.04 per extra request, capped |

The allowance resets on the first of each month (UTC). Details and the checkout are on the [pricing page](https://fundfactsapi.com/pricing).

## What counts as a request

One per fund found on `/funds/{isin}`, `POST /funds`, `/portfolio` and `/overlap`, whether the payload came from the store (within its 24 hours or flagged `stale: true`) or was freshly loaded. An ISIN with no fund data (`404 fund_not_found`) is not counted, up to 15 misses a month or the plan's allowance if larger, and is queued: FundFacts rechecks it from the next day, then weekly (every 3 days when several accounts wait for it), tells you the estimated date in the 404 body (`recheck.nextRecheckAt`) and e-mails you when it is covered; Pro and up skip the wait by uploading the fund's own KID in the Factsheets tab. `POST /extract` counts 5 per document; a PDF factsheet counts 2, an HTML one 1; `GET /funds/{isin}/history` counts 1 per call. `/search`, `/me`, the watchlist, the change feed and the demo endpoint are free. Invalid ISINs, pending batch entries and rejected calls (401, 429) cost nothing.

## Sizing an application

- **A screener over 500 funds refreshed daily** needs about 15,000 requests a month: Scale with overage at $0.04, or Scale alone if the refresh is spread and prioritised.
- **A client-reporting tool** that renders a few hundred factsheets a month sits comfortably on Pro.
- **A chatbot** that answers questions about funds users mention uses one request per distinct ISIN per day thanks to the 24-hour store: Starter or Pro.

Cache by ISIN until `expiresAt` and the count stays close to one request per fund per day.

## FAQ

### Is there a per-request price without a subscription?

Enterprise is metered at $0.01 per request on a monthly invoice, without a fixed fee. Contact us for that; the self-serve plans are the four above.

### What happens when I run out?

Free and Starter return 429 rate_limited with reason quota_exhausted until the monthly reset. Pro and Scale keep running on overage ($0.05 and $0.04 per request) up to a cap of two months' subscription, then stop.

### Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from the dashboard; the plan runs to the end of the paid month.

## About FundFacts API

FundFacts turns any fund or ETF ISIN into one dated factsheet (fees and KID costs, the 1–7 risk indicator, holdings, sector and country exposure, returns) read from the fund house's own documents: as a client-ready PDF under your firm's name for advisers and wealth managers, as JSON through its API for developers, or inside ChatGPT and Claude through its MCP server.

FundFacts works inside ChatGPT and Claude as a connector (a remote MCP server): ask about any fund or ETF by ISIN, ticker or name and the assistant answers from FundFacts' dated figures, fees, risk, holdings, exposure and returns, with fund cards, side-by-side comparisons, holdings overlap and portfolio look-through.
