# 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.

 ashareapi vs Tushare Pro
 Tushare Pro is registration + a credit system. We are no-signup + buyout/subscription. Neither replaces the other — they are different trade-offs.

 ashareapi vs AkShare
 AkShare is a free, open-source Python data library that scrapes public pages. We are a hosted service you call over HTTP/MCP with nothing to install.

 ashareapi vs BaoStock
 BaoStock is a free A-share historical database — a Python library you pip-install that talks to their own data server (SDK free; their site also sells paid traffic packages). We are a hosted service: nothing to install, callable over HTTP and MCP, with real-time snapshots and money-flow surfaces.
