Alpevox vs. Polygon.io

Polygon.io rebranded to Massive in October 2025 — same product and API, new name. It's built market-data-first: real-time and historical price/quote/trade data is the core product, and fundamentals are an upsell rather than the focus.

Why teams building backtests pick Alpevox

Fundamentals are your primary need, not price ticks — Alpevox includes full fundamentals at $29/mo instead of gating them behind a $199/mo tier

You need point-in-time filing lineage for backtesting, not just current financials

You want ratios, DuPont, growth, and valuation pre-computed in one schema instead of assembled from raw statement data
