FinFeedAPI sells SEC filings by the GiB transferred, from $1 a credit, and 1Lookup labels a company's last 12 months of 8-Ks for $0.010 when it filed one.

Pulling SEC filings into software. Its page lists 100% SEC form coverage (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, 20-F, Form 4, 13F, Form D and more), a metadata search, full-text search, an item extractor, XBRL-to-JSON conversion, downloads of the original EDGAR documents and a real-time stream of new filings with an average latency of about 100 ms, over REST, WebSocket, JSON-RPC and a hosted MCP server.

Checked October 2026: Pay As You Go is $1 per credit with no commitment, a flat $10 per GiB of data transferred. Committed 64 is $64 a month at $0.85 per credit, Committed 256 is $256 at $0.75, and Committed 1024 is $1,024 at $0.65 with a 99.9% uptime SLA; Enterprise is custom. Usage is measured in GiB and tiers reset daily. Committed credits beyond the plan are charged at the Pay As You Go rate. The pricing page prints no price per request and no number of free credits.

2 credits per company with an 8-K, free when no 8-K was filed in the last 12 months. On the Starter plan ($99 a month for 20,000 credits) a company is about $0.010, which covers 10,000 companies a month and is $9.90 per 1,000. At the Enterprise end of the rate card it is about $0.004. FinFeedAPI prints no price per company, because its bill follows the size of each response, so a fair comparison needs a test call: send the same company to both and read the credits used.

FinFeedAPI's search lists filings with their metadata and can filter by the items they carry, and its item extractor returns the text or HTML of the one item you name, such as Item 1.01 of an 8-K, for one accession number at a time. Reading what an item number means is left to you. 1Lookup returns a finished answer: each filing in the window with its item numbers turned into plain labels (5.02 as an executive or director departure or appointment, 1.03 as bankruptcy or receivership), one of eight categories, a headline, a high-signal flag on twelve kinds of item, counts for the whole window and a link to the filing on the SEC's site. 1Lookup reads which items a filing carries, not the text under them.

Because the price follows the data transferred. The pricing page says usage is measured in GiB, that tiers reset daily and that the cost per GiB falls with volume, so the same company can cost a different amount on a different day or as a larger or smaller response comes back. 1Lookup's 8-K Event Lookup is a flat number of credits for each company that filed an 8-K, and nothing for a company that filed none.

Yes. The pages show a free API key and 'Start With Free Credits', and they do not say how many credits it holds. 1Lookup has a free 8-K filing search on its site that shows the count of 8-Ks in the last 12 months and the three newest events, and a 7-day free trial for the full list.

FinFeedAPI streams new filings with an average broadcast latency of about 100 ms, so to watch for the newest filing it is faster than 1Lookup. 1Lookup reads the SEC's own filing list for the company when you look it up. A repeat lookup of the same company by the same user within one day comes from the cache at no charge, and bypass_cache: true reads it again.

On reach and speed. It reads inside filings, with the text of a named item, full-text search with include and exclude terms, XBRL-to-JSON and the original documents, covers every SEC form rather than only 8-Ks, streams new filings in real time and prices large volumes down to $0.65 per credit. 1Lookup does not return the text of an item, looks back 12 months by default (up to 730 days in the API) and covers one company per lookup.

If you need to read inside filings, search their text or watch for new ones as they arrive, FinFeedAPI is the product built for that. If you have a ticker, a name or a CIK number and want the company's last year of 8-Ks as labeled events with the important ones flagged, for a flat number of credits, 1Lookup's 8-K Event Lookup bills 2 credits only when the company filed an 8-K.

If you build on filings and want text, search and a live stream on one key, yes, and the pay-as-you-go start has no commitment. If all you need is which companies filed which kinds of 8-K, compare the per-company price of 1Lookup, which is charged only when an 8-K was filed, with what a test call costs you on FinFeedAPI.
