Trading Economics Review

Depends

Should I use Trading Economics?

20 million economic indicators for 196 countries with free indicators, historical data, charts, news and forecasts. - tradingeconomics.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if your team programmatically needs broad macro indicators across 196 countries — the API, Python client and Excel add-in are the real pitch. Skip if you want one-off stats (use the free site) or company-level financial data.

Confidence

Low. Based on 14 public sources; thin on independent user reviews and concrete pricing.

Best for

  • Macro traders and economists
  • Quant desks needing country-data APIs
  • Excel-first analysts
  • Researchers tracking many economies

Not for

  • Casual users wanting one-off stats — free site suffices
  • Teams needing company-level (not macro) data
  • Buyers demanding published pricing upfront
  • Security-audit-heavy enterprises — no public security page

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

No published tiers — budget stays unclear until a sales call

medium

Guess: free tier is web viewing; API, Excel add-in and live quotes likely paid

low

Verify country coverage first — own channels say both 196 and 232
