 ## Commercial Redistribution
 
-Redistribution is permitted, but it requires a license granted directly by the exchanges — not by Market Data. Market Data cannot authorize redistribution on behalf of an exchange. If your use case involves distributing data to others, contact our sales team and we will connect you with the appropriate exchanges to get the required licenses in place.
+To display market data to the users of your own app, dashboard, or product, use the [Commercial Plan](/docs/account/plans/commercial/). It includes a business-wide commercial license with display rights, and there are no exchange agreements to sign, no exchange fees, and no per-user fees.

-The **Commercial Plan** is the most common starting point for businesses launching an app, dashboard, or product on top of Market Data. At **$250/month** it's the most affordable commercially-licensed market data subscription on the market — and it includes a generous package of data that you can redistribute to your end users under our [Commercial Use Addendum](https://www.marketdata.app/terms/commercial-use-addendum/). It's enough to get a product to market, on budget, with the option to add exchange licensing later as your business grows.
+The **Commercial Plan** gives your business real-time, delayed, historical, and tick-level market data for stocks and options, together with a commercial license to display it to your users — all for one price, starting at **$333/month**. There are no exchange agreements to sign, no exchange fees, and no per-user fees.
 
 ## Pricing
 
-**$250/month** — month-to-month billing only. The Commercial Plan does not offer an annual billing option.
-
-## What You Get with the Commercial Plan
-
-- **Commercial Use License**: The only Market Data plan that permits business and commercial use of our data, governed by our [Commercial Use Addendum](https://www.marketdata.app/terms/commercial-use-addendum/).
-- **No Daily API Credit Limit**: Use our API as much as your application needs, with no daily cap.
-- **100,000 Credits Per Minute**: A generous per-minute rate limit suited to production workloads.
-- **50 Concurrent Requests**: Run requests in parallel to keep latency low under load.
-- **Real-Time SmartMid Stock Prices**: Get current-day real-time stock prices on the [`/stocks/prices`](/api/stocks/prices) endpoint via our proprietary **SmartMid** model — a Market Data product that you can redistribute to your end users under our Commercial Use Addendum. **SmartMid is the only real-time data source included on the Commercial Plan.**
-- **Historical Data, Full Depth**: Full historical access on every endpoint — stocks, options, and more — for backtesting, analytics, and historical charts.
-- **Premium Endpoints**: Full access to all premium endpoints, including fundamentals and earnings data.
-
-### Exchange Data Is Historical Only
+**$333/month to start, billed quarterly.** The price steps up twice during the first year, then stays fixed:
 
-The Commercial Plan does **not** include any real-time exchange data. All exchange-sourced data — stock bid/ask quotes, daily and intraday candles, options chains and quotes, all of it — is delivered **historical only**, available starting from the **T+1 session** (today's session becomes available the following session).
+| Months    | Monthly Price | Billed Each Quarter |
+|-----------|---------------|---------------------|
+| 1–6       | $333/month    | $999                |
+| 7–12      | $666/month    | $1,998              |
+| 13 and on | $999/month    | $2,997              |
 
-The single exception is **SmartMid stock prices**, which are real-time because SmartMid is our own derived product and not exchange data.
+The price includes the commercial license. There are no exchange fees and no per-user fees on top of it, however many users your product serves.
 
-This is what keeps the plan affordable and lets you redistribute data to your end users without additional exchange paperwork. When your business is ready, exchange licensing can be added on top of your Commercial Plan — see [Why SmartMid Instead of Exchange Real-Time?](#why-smartmid-instead-of-exchange-real-time) below.
+Every Commercial Plan starts with a **14-day free trial**, with no charge until the trial ends, and there is no long-term contract. [Contact us](https://www.marketdata.app/contact/) to get started.
 
-## Who the Commercial Plan Is For
+## No Exchange Licensing, No Extra Fees
 
-The Commercial Plan is the entry point for businesses bringing a product to market on top of Market Data. Common use cases include:
+A business that shows market data to its users usually has to sign agreements with each exchange, pay monthly exchange fees, and pay again for every user who sees the data. Those costs grow with every user you add, and the paperwork comes before you can launch.
 
-- **Stock and options apps** that display data to paying users
-- **Financial dashboards** distributed to clients or employees
-- **Research products and newsletters** that publish data-driven content
-- **Charting and analytics tools** built on historical data
-- **Internal business analytics** at firms that need market data for internal use
+The Commercial Plan removes all of it. Real-time prices, delayed exchange data, historical data, and tick-level data all come under one license, at one price. You sign nothing with the exchanges, you pay no exchange fees, and you pay nothing more as your user base grows — so your data costs stay the same whether your product has ten users or ten thousand.
 
-Most businesses start here when launching and add exchange licensing later, as their product matures and their budget grows.
-
-If you're an indie developer **still in development** and not yet charging users or distributing data, you can build on the [Starter Plan](/account/plans/starter) until you're ready to launch. Once you go live with a commercial product, the Commercial Plan is your next step. See our guide on [how stock market data licensing works](https://www.marketdata.app/education/stocks/stock-market-data-licensing) for background.

-### Not Suitable for Trading
+## What You Get with the Commercial Plan
 
-The Commercial Plan is **not suitable for trading applications** or any product where users make execution decisions based on the data. SmartMid is a derived midpoint price — useful for display, charting, and informational purposes — but it is not a live bid/ask quote and should not be used to determine trade prices, route orders, or trigger execution logic. Trading platforms and order-routing tools require real-time exchange data, which means direct exchange licensing. [Contact our sales team](https://www.marketdata.app/contact/) to discuss licensing options for trading use cases.
+### Data
 
-## Redistribution Rules
+- **Real-Time Stock Prices**: Real-time derived prices that closely track exchange prices, with last price, open, close, volume, and pre-market and post-market volume.
+- **Real-Time Options Prices**: Real-time derived options prices, with implied volatility and the greeks — delta, gamma, theta, and vega.
+- **WebSocket Streaming**: Stream real-time stock and options prices over WebSocket, or request them over the REST API.
+- **Tick-Level Market Data**: Market data down to the individual tick.
+- **15-Minute Delayed CBOE Data**: Exchange data from CBOE on a 15-minute delay.
+- **End-of-Day and Historical Data**: End-of-day and historical data for stocks and options, for backtesting, analytics, and historical charts.
+- **US Fundamentals**: Fundamentals data for US companies.
 
-The Commercial Plan permits you to **distribute your own derived data** through your application — including via your own API — but does **not** permit redistributing Market Data's raw API responses. In other words:
+### Rights
 
-- ✅ You can build a UI, dashboard, or product that displays Market Data's data to your users.
-- ✅ You can compute derived metrics, signals, or aggregates from our data and serve those to your users (including over your own API).
-- ❌ You cannot resell or proxy our raw API responses to your customers.
+- **Commercial Use and Display Rights**: A business-wide commercial license. Use the data across your business and display it to the users of your app, dashboard, or product.
+- **No Exchange Licensing**: No exchange agreements to sign and no exchange paperwork.
+- **No Exchange Fees or Per-User Fees**: One price, however many users see the data.
+- **No IP Limit**: Call the API from as many servers and IP addresses as your product needs.
 
-If you're looking to offer a market data API to other businesses, you'll need direct exchange licensing — which the Commercial Plan does not provide. [Contact our sales team](https://www.marketdata.app/contact/) if you'd like to discuss your use case.
+### Tools and Limits
 
-## Why SmartMid Instead of Exchange Real-Time?
+- **AI Assistant Access**: Connect Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants to the data through an MCP server.
+- **Rate Limits**: 2,000 API calls per minute, 1 request per minute for bulk downloads and paging, and 3 WebSocket connections.
 
-Real-time data sourced directly from exchanges has its own [licensing requirements](https://www.marketdata.app/education/stocks/stock-market-data-licensing) that apply on top of any data subscription. By using SmartMid for real-time prices, the Commercial Plan keeps the cost of launching low — most businesses don't need exchange licensing on day one.
+## What You Can Build
 
-**SmartMid** is our own proprietary derived midpoint price. Because it's a Market Data product rather than exchange data, your application can deliver SmartMid prices to any end user under our Commercial Use Addendum.
+The Commercial Plan is made for businesses bringing a product to market on top of market data:
 
-When your business is ready to add real-time exchange data — bid/ask quotes, intraday candles, or real-time options — exchange licensing can be added on top of your Commercial Plan. [Contact our sales team](https://www.marketdata.app/contact/) when you're ready.
+- **Stock and options apps** that display real-time and historical data to paying users
+- **SaaS and fintech products** built on top of the data
+- **Financial dashboards** distributed to clients or employees
+- **Research products and newsletters** that publish data-driven content
+- **Charting and analytics tools** built on real-time, historical, and tick-level data
+- **Internal business analytics** across your whole company

 ## Why Choose the Commercial Plan?
 
-The Commercial Plan is where most businesses start. At **$250/month**, it's the cheapest commercially-licensed market data subscription on the market — and it's enough to launch a real product, with real-time SmartMid stock prices, full historical depth, no daily credit caps, and generous concurrency.
