goldprice.dev vs the alternatives
goldprice.dev answers three questions no single rival covers: what gold's worth (attributed spot + futures), what it actually costs to buy (live per-country dealer prices in 12 countries), and where it's headed (a gold/silver probability surface). Honest, feature-by-feature comparisons against every other gold and precious-metals price API we get asked about — each page concedes where the other tool wins, dates its claims, and links its sources.
vs goldapi.io
They hold the licensed LBMA fix and a cheaper paid floor. We answer what gold's worth, what it costs to buy, and where it's headed: per-source provenance, per-country dealer prices, and a probability surface goldapi.io doesn't ship.
vs Metals-API
A broad multi-metal + FX catalog. We trade breadth for gold-specialist depth: every source attributed, per-country dealer prices, a probability surface, and an honest staleness flag.
vs MetalpriceAPI
A granular tier ladder and 150+ currencies. We add MCP, per-country dealer prices, a probability surface, and an opt-in sources[] array.
vs Metals.dev
A wide multi-metal feed with a clean free tier. We differentiate on per-source provenance, futures settlement, and methodology you can audit.
vs Alpha Vantage
A generalist equities, FX, and crypto API. We are metals-specialist: gold/silver/copper depth, published methodology, and per-source transparency.
vs Twelve Data
Stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities under one key. We focus on gold-data provenance, the forward view, and MCP-native access.
vs Polygon.io / Massive.com
Multi-asset market data at scale, gold priced as an XAU/USD forex pair. We're gold-native: a probability surface, per-country dealer prices, attributed sources, and a native MCP server.
vs goldprice.org
The same-sounding name, but a consumer charting site with no developer API. We are the API developers reach for: JSON responses, an API key, documented rate limits, and a native MCP server.
