# fastFOREX API Pricing

fastFOREX API sells four subscription plans for live and historical FX, crypto and precious/base metals data over a JSON API, plus WebSocket streaming. Every plan includes 1,000,000 API calls per month and the same API; the plans differ in update speed and data depth. This is the markdown version of the pricing page.
