data redistribution rights
Data redistribution rights govern showing vendor data to your own users, and they are carved out of normal licenses and priced separately. Tiingo sells display redistribution at $250-$500/month, Investing.com permits it only through sanctioned embeddable widgets, and BIS forbids charging subscribers extra specifically for including its statistics.
What is data redistribution rights?
Redistribution is the act of displaying a vendor's data to people who did not buy the license - your app users, your clients, your readers. Vendors treat it as a distinct product, and the cataloged records show three different mechanisms. Tiingo states it directly: "Separate redistribution agreements for commercial display", priced at "EOD plus IEX redistribution is $250/month for startups (80,000 display redistribution, 1 TB bandwidth) and $500/month for enterprise (1,200,000 display redistribution, 1 TB bandwidth)". Investing.com narrows the channel instead of pricing it: "Webmaster Tools offers embeddable widgets as the sanctioned redistribution route". BIS constrains pricing rather than display, requiring that commercial products "will not result in any additional charge to subscribers or other users". All three sit inside the broader frame of market data licensing, where internal-use and display rights never travel together by default.
Why does data redistribution rights matter when choosing a dataset?
Build a client-facing screen on an internal-use license and the failure arrives as a renewal problem: either you negotiate display rights mid-flight, or you take the product down. The pricing gap is large enough to plan for - Tiingo's display agreements add $250-$500/month on top of the data subscription, with hard display counts (80,000 startup, 1,200,000 enterprise) and a 1 TB bandwidth ceiling at both tiers, so traffic projections belong in the licensing conversation, not after it. Widget-only routes trade control for compliance: Investing.com's sanctioned embeddable widgets keep you legal but dictate the presentation. Public-sector style licenses invert the concern - BIS's no-additional-charge rule means you may not surcharge subscribers merely for bundling its statistics. Reading which of the three models applies is a pre-development task.
How do you evaluate data redistribution rights in a data source?
- Ask whether display is a separate agreement Tiingo's terms name "Separate redistribution agreements for commercial display" - assume separation until a vendor says otherwise.
- Model the display and bandwidth tiers Documented levels are $250/month for startups (80,000 display redistributions) and $500/month for enterprise (1,200,000), each with 1 TB bandwidth.
- Find the sanctioned embed route where display is not sold Investing.com channels redistribution through Webmaster Tools embeddable widgets - a compliant but constrained presentation path.
- Check pass-through pricing rules BIS requires commercial products "will not result in any additional charge to subscribers or other users", forbidding a surcharge for inclusion.

Frequently asked questions
How much does data redistribution typically cost?
It is priced separately when it is sold at all: Tiingo charges $250/month for startups (80,000 display redistributions, 1 TB bandwidth) and $500/month for enterprises (1,200,000 display redistributions, 1 TB bandwidth).

Only under a display right. Options in the cataloged records include Tiingo's separate commercial-display agreements and Investing.com's sanctioned embeddable widgets; BIS-style terms instead bar charging subscribers extra for inclusion.
