Frequently asked questions

How much does The Macro Tourist cost?

The Macro Tourist is listed at Free (access model: Free Open Access), classified in the "Free" band. No recurring price is published, so treat the figure as an indicative listing rather than a quotable number. 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 The Macro Tourist?

Yes. The Macro Tourist is classified as free — there is no paywall on the core research.

How does The Macro Tourist 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. The Macro Tourist sits at or above 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 The Macro Tourist 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. The Macro Tourist covers Macro complacency & cycles 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.
