- Fixer.io Alternative
60-second updates and any base currency on every plan, versus hourly EUR-base on Fixer free, plus a keyless Fixer-compatible endpoint. - Open Exchange Rates Alternative
OXR is hourly up to $47/mo and USD-base on free; here every plan updates every 60 seconds with any base currency. - ExchangeRate-API Alternative
Real-time vs. daily updates, EUR vs. USD pricing, SDK coverage, and historical data on every paid plan. - XE API Alternative
XE starts at $799/yr for daily rates with live rates as an add-on; ours update every 60 seconds from €4.99/mo. - OANDA Exchange Rates API Alternative
OANDA plans start from $4,850/yr. Mid-market rates every 60 seconds, monthly billing and official central-bank rates from €4.99/mo. - Global Exchange Rates Alternative
Official central-bank rates with history back to 2000 (not 2024), a permanent free tier, and real-time market rates on the same key. - exchangerate.host Alternative
Integration broke after the apilayer takeover added access keys? Real-time rates, a keyless open ECB endpoint, and EUR pricing. - Frankfurter Alternative
Love Frankfurter but need more than ~30 ECB currencies and one daily update? 160+ currencies, real-time data, and official central-bank rates. - currencylayer Alternative
100 free requests, USD-only base, and hourly updates on lower plans — versus real-time rates, any base currency, and low EUR pricing. - exchangeratesapi.io Alternative
The formerly free ECB API now needs keys and quotas. Get real-time rates for 160+ currencies plus a keyless ECB endpoint instead. - CurrencyAPI Alternative
A polished product with a small, infrequently updated free tier — versus real-time 60-second rates and any base currency.
