ArdaDB
Subsecond SQL on 20 years of tick data. No database to build. No pipelines to maintain.
Every dataset you subscribe to is queryable the moment you sign in. algoseek manages the database, the updates, and the pipelines. You write SQL against 20 years of tick data across equities, options, and futures, and get results in subseconds.

Speed, size, and cost
Databases are easy at megabytes. At terabytes of tick data, you trade speed for cost, or cost for the time you spend maintaining it.

Setup alone takes days or weeks, not hours. But the real cost is what comes after: nightly updates, batch job failures, schema changes, storage growth. The database becomes a second job that never ends.

Cloud databases charge by compute. One month your bill is $300. The next, you run a batch of historical queries and it is $5,000. You never know what you will pay.

Fixed monthly pricing. Your data is already loaded. algoseek manages the database, the updates, and the pipelines. No setup. No surprise bills.
Two models
Shared for research. Dedicated for production.
Both run on ClickHouse. Both handle terabytes. The difference is who else is on the server.
Your database. Your account. Nobody can see your queries.
Your SQL queries reveal your research direction, your signal construction, and your strategy. On a shared environment, that is a leakage risk. On Dedicated ArdaDB, nobody can see your queries. Not other users. Not algoseek. There is no way for anyone to infer what you are building. Run production, test, and development servers simultaneously. Load your own proprietary data alongside algoseek datasets. Server sizing entirely up to you.
24/7 monitoring.Dedicated database team.
AWS at cost.No algoseek markup on compute.
Pricing
$500/month
Fixed algoseek service fee. AWS compute costs passed through at cost. Server sizing up to you.
Best for: production and privacy
Built for teams that would rather write SQL than manage infrastructure.
Quantitative research teams, fintechs, trading firms without a dedicated database engineering department. You need tick-level market data in a database that works.
What you never have to do
You do not worry about the pipeline, the updates, or the breaks. It is just there. It works.
You never maintain a pipeline
The issue is never the initial setup. It is the ongoing support: nightly updates, batch job failures, schema migrations, storage that grows faster than your budget. algoseek handles all of it with a dedicated database team and 24/7 monitoring.
You never set up a database
Setting up a proper database for terabytes of tick data is not hours of work. It is days or weeks to do properly, and that is before you write a single query. algoseek has already done it.
You never worry about scale
Most SQL databases were built for transactional workloads. They choke on analytical queries across billions of rows of tick data. ClickHouse was built for exactly this, and algoseek extended it for market data specifically.
You never get a surprise bill
Your research should not be constrained by what you can afford to query this month. Fixed monthly pricing means you follow your research wherever it goes without watching a meter.
