Finnhub
What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Grok actually say · July 2026
The verdict
Finnhub appears in 1 AI-ranked category.
Broadest free tier still standing in 2026 — real-time-ish US quotes, global equity coverage, plus fundamentals, earnings, insider transactions, and alternative data (sentiment, transcripts) under one API; excellent for prototyping and international breadth on a budget. Near-tie with Tiingo; Finnhub wins on breadth, Tiingo on price-history quality.
Where Finnhub falls short, per the models
- Claude Data quality and depth are uneven outside core US endpoints — fundamentals have gaps/errors at the margins, and rate limits on paid tiers are tighter than Polygon's.
