Comparisons
The options people usually weigh against us: a paid data API (Tushare), a free open-source library (AkShare) and a free historical database (BaoStock). We lay out the structural differences and who each fits — you judge.
Tushare Pro is registration + a credit system. We are no-signup + buyout/subscription. Neither replaces the other — they are different trade-offs.

We are a hosted service: nothing to install, callable over HTTP and MCP, with real-time snapshots and money-flow surfaces.
