Last time I tried building a software around stocks, the major pain I had was the lack of affordable APIs that would give quotes in almost real time.

Almost all APIs I checked had a significant pricing. I'm wondering where does this website takes the data from and what's the price for it.

Yep this is one of the biggest bottlenecks for this solo project.

I get my data from Financialmodelingprep which I do not recommend because of the recent price increase.

But i gotta pay those bills to make a really good website for my users

I see, I never understood why quote data are so costly (read - aren't free).

So how does [name redacted] differentiate to others in the market - eg. Yahoo finance?

We have memes :D
