Frequently asked questions

How much does Real Vision cost?

Real Vision is listed at ~$299/yr (access model: Paid Subscription), classified in the "Under $50 / mo" band. The cheapest recurring tier works out to about $25/month on a monthly-equivalent basis. Prices are the publisher's own publicly listed tiers as of 2026-10-04; always confirm on their site before subscribing.

Is there a free version of Real Vision?

No free tier is listed. Real Vision is classified as Paid Subscription, so budget for the entry tier at ~$299/yr. If that is a barrier, the alternatives below include free and freemium desks in the same category.

How does Real Vision compare with other 69 desks in its category?

Across the 17 publications in this category that publish a recurring price, the median entry tier is about $29/month. Real Vision sits below that line. Entry price is a weak quality signal on its own: analyst-time products cost more to run than data products, so compare the tier you would actually buy rather than the headline number.

Is Real Vision worth the price?

The test is whether the desk produces primary work you cannot get free: its own data collection, filings analysis, models or channel checks. Real Vision covers Macro interviews & thematic research and is classified as analysis. If you already follow that subject closely and the desk is not telling you something new, the marginal value is low regardless of price; if it is your primary source in that niche, the cost is usually trivial against a single position. This index does not accept payment for a favourable description.
