  Trading Economics sells API access by subscription, with pricing adjusted
  to the features used, the volume of requests, and any redistribution of
  the data. Published third-party comparisons (June 2026) place the
  Standard plan at $149/month and the Professional plan at $299/month, both
  billed yearly, with Enterprise on custom pricing; the provider's own
  pricing page requires an account to display the current matrix. Trial
  accounts are limited to 100,000 data points and 100 data requests. The
  long-standing guest:guest sample-data account has been discontinued for
  the REST API (verified live 2026-07-11).
notes: >-
  Plan prices were grounded from a June 2026 third-party comparison because
  tradingeconomics.com/api/pricing.aspx renders its pricing matrix behind
  scripts/login; re-verify against the provider's pricing page when
  reconciling. Payment is accepted by credit card and PayPal, with bank
  wire available for quarterly and yearly plans.
