Financial terminal cost calculator

Terminal pricing is quoted per seat, but the decision is almost never about one seat. Move the sliders to see what each product actually costs your desk over the horizon you care about.

Difference between Godel Terminal and Bloomberg over this period:

Godel Terminal
Bloomberg Terminal
LSEG Workspace (Refinitiv Eikon)
FactSet
Koyfin
TradingView Premium

Total cost of ownership, seats × years. Excludes the FINRA surcharge, data add-ons, and any negotiated enterprise discount.

A caveat that matters: only Godel Terminal's $996 figure is vendor-published. Bloomberg, LSEG, FactSet and the rest negotiate heavily and rarely publish list pricing, so those bars are market-reported approximations. Use this to understand the shape of the decision, not to build a budget.

What the shape tells you

Two things become obvious once you move the seat slider:

  1. The gap compounds. At one seat, the difference between Godel Terminal and Bloomberg is interesting. At twenty seats over five years it is a headcount decision.
  2. The mid-market is crowded. Koyfin and TradingView sit close enough to Godel Terminal that price alone will not decide between them — that comparison comes down to whether you need filings, standardized financials and consensus estimates, or just charts and quotes.

Which is why the real question is not cost but coverage. If Godel Terminal covers your workflow it is dramatically cheaper; if it misses one thing you depend on daily, the saving is irrelevant. Our function-by-function comparison maps the overlap, and the command reference lists exactly what is documented.

A reported 14-day trial settles the coverage question faster than any spreadsheet. If you subscribe, TAKE30 takes 30% off the first month.

Frequently asked questions

Where do these prices come from?

Godel Terminal's $996/seat/year is published on its own website. Every other figure is an approximate market-reported rate — enterprise terminal pricing is negotiated, module-dependent and rarely published, so treat the comparisons as order-of-magnitude rather than quotes.

Does this include the FINRA surcharge?

No. Independent reviews report an additional $30/month for FINRA-registered users, which would add $360 per seat per year. Add it manually if it applies to you.

Does it account for the promo code?

No, deliberately. TAKE30 discounts the first month only, so on a multi-year total-cost view it rounds to noise. It is worth taking — it is just not a factor in a seat-count decision.
