Tardis.dev: coverage, history and pricing

Raw tick market data, collected and archived

Checked against Tardis.dev's own pages between July 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026

Built by Aperiodic, which sells data too. This profile reports what Tardis.dev's own pages say, each fact linked and dated. It is not a review and ranks no one. Wrong or out of date? Email info@aperiodic.io.

Anyone who needs the actual tape
Main gotchas
You build book reconstruction and every aggregation yourself, starting from gzipped CSV (one file per exchange, data type, day and symbol). History tops out at 4 years outside Business, and only on yearly billing. Gaps from exchange outages are permanent and not listed in Tardis's incident reports
