Coverage
Polygon is strong on US realtime/history; TIQEX focuses on one API across equities/FX/crypto/futures including Asia names.
Comparisons
TIQEX vs Polygon: choosing a global data API
Polygon is strong in US equities; evaluate TIQEX if you also need FX, crypto, and Asia in one API.
Integration cost
US-only stacks can POC both; multi-asset or APAC products usually cost less to unify on TIQEX.
How to evaluate
Compare latency, field completeness, history depth, and entitlements on the same symbols; keep X-Request-Id.
When TIQEX fits
Prefer TIQEX for global/multi-asset boards needing A/HK; keep Polygon in a US-only deep-history bake-off.
Validation path
Compare one US and one APAC symbol for fields and latency, then decide if FX/crypto should share the same vendor.
