How to choose

Free: check key macro. Core: monitor, save & export. Global: formulas, historical-regime comparison, reporting & Data Bank expansion.

The decisive difference between Pro and Premium: Pro extends the free check features into monitoring, saving and export. Premium adds Formula Lab, Historical Regime Lab, Lead-Lag Explorer, Local CSV Joiner, Encrypted Workspace, Report Studio, Global Rates Matrix, Country Macro Cards and Macro Scenario Builder, data expansion via the Data Bank and API connections (FRED / World Bank / OECD / IMF / BIS integration · your own data · unlimited connections), and global-macro analysis-feature customization (subscribers only). If you research, validate and report on macro over time rather than checking it once, Premium is the better fit.

Global-macro analysis-feature customization is for Premium subscribers only.

Please read before using

  • This tool mechanically organizes and visualizes public data and data you load on your device. It does not recommend, advise, solicit or guarantee the purchase, holding, entry, exit, price movement or investment decision for any financial instrument.
  • The analysis and displays on this page are descriptive comparison and visualization, not investment advice, buy/sell signals, forecasts or discretionary management.
  • Only Premium subscribers can access the Data Bank, API connection · Data Bank expansion · missing-data completion and global-macro analysis-feature customization. Through the Data Bank / API connection you can connect free public data from FRED, World Bank, OECD, IMF, BIS and central banks, paid / free external data sources, or local CSV and your own data you provide — with no connection limit — and view and analyze them in one place in this Workbench (real-time market data cannot be connected by default). Customization is limited to the custom implementation of descriptive macro analysis and visualization features, and to macro information such as rates, real yields, inflation, GDP, central-bank indicators, liquidity indicators and country macro indicators. It does not provide buy/sell decisions, entries, exits, target prices, position proposals, individual portfolio advice or investment advice for specific instruments.
  • Whether additional data can be obtained or supported depends on the availability of free public data, its terms of use, API specifications, API limits and license conditions. Special data integrations, custom data shaping or enterprise custom implementations may require a separate quote or individual handling.
  • Local CSV and the Encrypted Workspace stay in files on your device under your control; they are not received by us or handed to any AI. Keeping the files and passphrases safe is your responsibility.
  • Data from FRED, World Bank, OECD, IMF, BIS, EIA, CFTC and central banks is subject to each provider’s terms of use. Values may not match across sources due to source, update timing or revisions.
  • No prorated refund, adjustment or reduction is made for mid-term cancellation, plan change, suspension or unused periods. A plan change triggers a new charge for the target plan. Subscription management and cancellation are handled in Stripe’s billing portal.
  • Prices and plan contents may change without notice. Payment is processed via Stripe.
