US real-time streaming and delayed global data are included. Bring Your Own Data routes chart data through your own broker connection instead, across 15 or more broker integrations and around 80 crypto exchanges, so you are not paying twice for a feed you already have. Where your broker is licensed for a market, that includes real-time global data: if the broker feed carries it, the chart shows it, with no separate exchange subscription from us.
Feature counts for TradeGrub are read directly from the product registries rather than from marketing copy. Competitor rows reflect publicly documented capabilities and published pricing at the time of the last review, and pricing in particular changes often, so treat the other columns as a starting point and verify anything you are about to make a purchase decision on.
