Cryptocompare Plans Pricing
CryptoCompare (now CoinDesk Data / CCData) operates a metered API access model based on monthly call credits. The Free tier issues a personal API key with 100,000 monthly call credits and limited endpoint coverage. Commercial tiers (Starter / Professional / Enterprise) escalate credit budgets, expand endpoint access (news, social, blockchain, top lists, order book L1, full WebSocket streamer), and unlock longer history depths. Enterprise tiers add custom limits, raw trade data, derivatives, AI / ML feeds, on-demand exports, and dedicated SLA-backed support. Pricing on commercial tiers is published case-by-case; the figures below reflect representative public guidance pre-acquisition and the migration to CoinDesk Data branding.
