Finnhub vs Intrinio

Finnhub 48

Read with the hosted lines. No status page was found on the site, in the docs document or on the MCP page (0), so no incident history could be read (5). Limits are published with numbers, 60 calls a minute on the free key, 150 to 900 a minute by plan, and 30 calls a second on top of every plan (15). The docs say the limit answers 429 and the MCP page says to wait a minute, with no Retry-After or backoff guidance (8 of 15). The home page says 99.99 per cent uptime with an SLA available for enterprise clients (10). The API is generally available (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 8 + 10 + 10 = 48.

Intrinio 83

Graded as a hosted service. Atlassian Statuspage at status.intrinio.com with APIv2 and APIv1 components (20). The incident feed's newest entry is a delayed SIP feed for CTA on 24 June 2026, so the 90 days to 3 November are clean (30). Limits are published in part. Pages above 100 records and bulk requests are 1 a minute on free feeds and 1 a second on paid ones, free feeds are throttled at 100 requests a second, and the daily and per-minute caps for a plan are shown only on the account page (8 of 15). A 429 carries an explanation of the limit and a 503 marks throttling or the 25-second timeout, with no Retry-After or backoff guidance (5 of 15). The Enterprise plan lists an SLA (10). The REST API is generally available (10). Total 83.

Finnhub 27

A closed service whose terms exist at a page that robots.txt disallows, so they were not read; the pricing page says every self-serve plan is personal use, and no legal entity or governing law was found (8 of 30). No privacy policy was found, /privacy redirecting to the home page (0 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices found (0 of 20). Stripe and Braintree scripts load on the site, but no processor list or data location is disclosed (0 of 20). 8 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 8.

Intrinio 51

No deprecation policy, and the version history has no dates (3 of 20). Data is processed in the United States; no subprocessor list (5 of 20). Total 31.

Finnhub 58

A public Swagger 2.0 document covers 116 paths with a description on every operation, declaring the key as a query parameter and a 200 response only; the MCP tools were not read (20 of 25). /llms.txt returns the site's HTML shell and no Markdown docs exist (0 of 10). Each operation states its purpose, a premium marker and, on quote, advice against polling, with little on when not to use it (14 of 20). Required flags and types are set on 248 parameters, but allowed values such as news categories sit in description text and no enum is declared (8 of 15). Every operation has example URLs and sample code in five languages, while the only documented error is the 429 (9 of 15). The path carries v1 and no changelog or dated change notes were found (7 of 15). 20 + 0 + 14 + 8 + 9 + 7 = 58.

Intrinio 43

No OpenAPI document was found. The SDKs are generated from a spec that declares API version 2.135.4, but the spec itself isn't published, and the MCP server's tool definitions aren't in any public source (5 of 25). docs.intrinio.com/llms.txt and intrinio.com/llms.txt return 404, and there are no Markdown pages (0 of 10). Each endpoint page states what it returns with its parameters, with little on when not to use a call (12 of 20). Parameters are typed, with required ones marked and allowed values in prose (9 of 15). Code samples in six languages on every endpoint, and a response codes page that lists codes without a body format (10 of 15). The v2 path is versioned, but the version history lists 2.0.0 to 2.6.2 with no dates and is out of step with the SDK's API version (7 of 15). Total 43.

Finnhub 56

The REST API is the surface graded. from and to on candles and news, and symbol-scoped calls, size responses; no field selection, and the MCP server lists 70 tools (12 of 25). Date filters but no pagination on most lists (10 of 20). Only the 429 is documented; a missing key answered 401 with a JSON error field in our one test call (5 of 20). All but one operation are GET reads; the MCP annotations were not read (14 of 20). Few required parameters and official libraries in six languages (15). 12 + 10 + 5 + 14 + 15 = 56.

Intrinio 70

page_size from 100 up to 10,000 sizes a response, and the MCP server batches ticker lists, but there is no field selection (15 of 25). next_page tokens, date and symbol filters on the data endpoints (18 of 20). Response codes are documented, 403 for an unsubscribed feed and 429 with a limit explanation, with no error body format or error code reference (10 of 20). Every call is a read and the vendor says the MCP server writes nothing back, but no readOnlyHint or safe-retry guidance was found (12 of 20). Few required parameters, and official SDKs in Python, C#, Java, JavaScript, R and Ruby (15). Total 70.

Finnhub 30

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public without login, read from the pricing page's script data, sold per dataset by the month with calls a minute rather than per call (10). A free key at 60 calls a minute with no card, which the pricing FAQ says can be used forever (20). The key comes from a browser signup and no key API was found (0). 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30.

Intrinio 20

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public without a login, $150, $333 rising to $999, and $1,250 and up, with no per-call price (10).

A person signs up in a browser; no key API was found (0). Total 20.
