The best alternatives for historical stock prices: viaNexus, Intrinio, Tiingo, Massive, EODHD and Snowflake, with prices. *By [Fruit Stand Team](https://fruitstand.dev/about.md) · November 6, 2026 · Comparisons* IEX Cloud shut down on August 31, 2024. The closest replacement is viaNexus, built by former IEX Cloud leaders, whose historical prices use IEX Cloud's field names. Intrinio was IEX's official referral, Tiingo is the cheapest per-ticker API, Massive and EODHD return the whole market per request, and a Snowflake Marketplace listing replaces the API with SQL. Below is what happened to IEX Cloud, how each alternative maps to what you used it for, and what each costs. > [!NOTE] > > Fruit Stand publishes the Historical Stock Prices listing, one of the > alternatives below. Every provider's price, limits and terms were checked > on its own site on November 4 to 6, 2026. ## What happened to IEX Cloud IEX Group told customers on May 31, 2024 that it was retiring every IEX Cloud product, and on August 31, 2024 the API, its data feeds and user accounts were switched off. IEX said it was refocusing on its stock exchange, which still runs. Departing customers were referred to Intrinio. Days before the shutdown, former IEX Cloud executives bought the platform's assets and started a new company, Blue Sky Data, with a temporary site live on September 3, 2024. It now runs as [viaNexus](https://www.blueskyapi.com/). None of the top-ranking "IEX Cloud alternatives" pages we read mention it. ## The alternatives at a glance | Option | Closest to IEX Cloud in | History | Price | Display in your app | Main catch | | - | - | - | - | - | - | | [viaNexus](https://console.vianexus.com/catalog) | Same field names; up to 2,000 symbols per request | US and 100+ international exchanges since 2005 | Membership $10 to $30/month, plus the dataset | Redistribution rights on every membership plan | Dataset price shows only after you pick a plan; attribution required | | [Intrinio](https://intrinio.com/pricing) | IEX's official referral; adjusted and unadjusted prices | 50+ years | $150/month (personal); $333/month to start (commercial) | On the commercial plan | The priciest option here | | [Tiingo](https://www.tiingo.com/about/pricing) | Simple per-ticker requests at a low price | 30+ years | Free; $30/month individual, $50 internal business | No; internal use only | One ticker per request | | [Massive](https://massive.com/pricing) | Whole-market requests | 2 years free; 5, 10 or 20+ paid | Free; $29, $79 or \$199/month | Individual plans don't; business plans priced separately | Daily summary is split-adjusted only | | [EODHD](https://eodhd.com/financial-apis/bulk-api-eod-splits-dividends) | Whole-exchange requests | Back to 1990 | From \$19.99/month (personal) | On commercial plans | Each bulk request costs 100 API calls | | [Databento](https://databento.com/docs/examples/equities/closing-prices) | Usage-based pricing | 8+ years | Pay as you go, or \$199/month | Licensed in its portal | Short history | | [Fruit Stand Historical Stock Prices](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZTYZTG3LNFA) | Raw and adjusted OHLC, for every ticker in one query | Back to each listing date, from 1962 | \$100/month after a 30-day trial | Per the listing terms | Snowflake only; no delisted securities | ## Mapping what you used IEX Cloud for | If you relied on IEX Cloud for | Closest replacement | | - | - | | `HISTORICAL_PRICES` fields (`priceDate`, `fclose`, `uclose`) | viaNexus keeps the same names.

Code written against IEX Cloud's response shape needs the fewest changes here. A request takes up to 2,000 comma-separated symbols, and the data, sourced from EDI, covers US and 100+ international exchanges since 2005. Pricing is a membership plus datasets. Memberships run $10/month (100 symbols), $15 (500), $20 (1,000) and $30 (unlimited), each listing redistribution rights, and historical prices are a premium dataset priced on top once you pick a plan. There's a 14-day free trial, and apps that display the data must credit viaNexus. ### Intrinio (IEX's official referral) IEX referred its departing customers to Intrinio, and Intrinio offered to match them to a similar plan at a similar price. Its EOD Historical Stock Prices cover 50+ years, with adjusted and unadjusted prices and adjustment factors, by API, CSV, S3 or Snowflake. The $150/month Individual plan is personal use only, with no display. Commercial use and display start at $333/month on the Startup plan, rising to \$999 after a year. ### Tiingo (cheapest per-ticker API) If you used IEX Cloud for a few hundred tickers, Tiingo is the cheapest like-for-like swap: one ticker per request, raw and adjusted prices with dividends and split factors, and 30+ years of history. Free covers 500 symbols a month. Paid plans are $30/month for individuals and $50 for internal business use, and none allow display to outside users. ### Massive and EODHD (whole market per request) Both replace IEX Cloud's 100-symbol batches with bigger ones. Massive's daily market summary returns every US stock for a date on all plans, including free, and EODHD's bulk endpoint returns a whole exchange for a date from \$19.99/month. [Best Alpha Vantage Alternatives for Bulk Historical Prices](https://fruitstand.dev/blog/alpha-vantage-alternatives-bulk-historical-prices.md) covers their plans, limits and backfill times in detail, alongside FMP. ### Databento (usage-based pricing) IEX Cloud billed by messages used. Databento is the closest to that model, pay as you go by the gigabyte with $125 of credits for new users, or $199/month. It sells official consolidated daily bars for US stocks and ETFs, with 8+ years of history, and published its own IEX Cloud migration guide. ### Fruit Stand on the Snowflake Marketplace (best for research in SQL) If you pulled IEX Cloud data into a warehouse anyway, a Marketplace listing skips the API. Fruit Stand's [Historical Stock Prices](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZTYZTG3LNFA) covers US stocks, ETFs and mutual funds back to each security's first trading day, with raw and adjusted OHLC refreshed daily, for \$100/month after a 30-day trial. It's Snowflake only, and it doesn't include delisted securities, so long backtests carry survivorship bias. For delisted coverage, see [Stock Price Datasets on the Snowflake Marketplace, Compared](https://fruitstand.dev/blog/stock-price-datasets-snowflake-marketplace.md). ## What about IEX's own free data? The IEX exchange still publishes its HIST data for free, a day after each trading day. It isn't a substitute for IEX Cloud's prices: the files are multi-gigabyte pcap captures of IEX's own TOPS and DEEP feeds, so they cover only trades on IEX, a small share of US volume, unadjusted and with no daily bars. They suit market-microstructure research, not price history. ## Which should you choose? * **Least code to change:** viaNexus, with IEX Cloud's field names. * **A commercial app that shows prices:** viaNexus, or Intrinio's Startup plan. * **A few hundred tickers, cheap:** Tiingo. * **Every ticker, refreshed daily, in your own database:** Massive or EODHD. * **Usage-based billing like IEX Cloud's:** Databento. * **Research in SQL with nothing to load:** Fruit Stand's Historical Stock Prices listing in Snowflake. Moving off Yahoo instead? [Is yfinance Still Usable?](https://fruitstand.dev/blog/is-yfinance-still-usable.md) covers that. For more bulk sources, see [Where to Get End-of-Day Prices for Every US Stock in Bulk](https://fruitstand.dev/blog/end-of-day-prices-every-us-stock-bulk.md). ## IEX Cloud's field names in SQL IEX Cloud's daily history reached back 15 years. With the Historical Stock Prices listing, that window for every US stock and ETF is one query, with the columns aliased to IEX Cloud's names so downstream code can keep them: ```sql theme={null} select p.code as symbol, p.date as "priceDate", p.open as uopen, p.high as uhigh, p.low as ulow, p.close as uclose, p.adjusted_open as fopen, p.adjusted_high as fhigh, p.adjusted_low as flow, p.adjusted_close as fclose, p.volume from security_price_history_vw p join security_vw s on s.code = p.code and s.exchange_code = p.exchange_code where p.exchange_code = 'US' and s.asset_class in ('stock', 'etf') and p.date >= dateadd(year, -15, current_date); ``` On November 6, 2026 that returned 43.6 million rows for 23,967 tickers, from November 7, 2011 through November 5, 2026. For Apple on August 28, 2020, the last day before its 4-for-1 split, `uclose` is 499.23 and `fclose` is 120.96. `volume` is split-adjusted, like IEX Cloud's unprefixed `volume`. The listing has no split-only prices, so there's no match for IEX Cloud's unprefixed `close`. ## F.A.Q. > [accordion] When did IEX Cloud shut down? > > IEX Group announced the retirement on May 31, 2024, and turned off the API, data feeds and accounts on August 31, 2024. The IEX stock exchange still operates. > [accordion] Is there a replacement with the same API? > > viaNexus, built by former IEX Cloud leaders from its assets, is the closest. Its Global EOD Equity Prices dataset uses IEX Cloud's field names, such as priceDate, fclose and uclose, though the base URL and tokens are new. > [accordion] Where did IEX send its customers? > > To Intrinio, under a referral agreement.
