Updata Third Party Data Services Comparison
With Updata Analytics being compatible with so many different data services, we are frequently asked which ones are best. The reality is that every service comes with its own set of pros and cons. Based on our experience of what Updata clients tell us, these are our ratings below. More in depth information on breadth of coverage, price histories, data accuracy, speed and pricing options are given below.
Metastock Xenith is our top rated data feed for private users. It's effectively the retail version of the powerful LSEG professional system. You have to be a non-professional user, otherwise you must use LSEG Eikon or Workspace. But for private users, this truly is the same system that market professionals use but for a fraction of the price. Sign up for Metastock Xenith - 3 months for the price of 1 - HERE
