- Public GitHub repository for transparency
- Optional sponsor tier for full access
Tickergram Bot
Tickergram Bot is an open-source project documented on GitHub (a0rtega/tickergram-bot), which gives it a level of transparency most bots in this catalog lack — you can, in principle, read exactly how it fetches and formats data rather than trusting an opaque black box. Its core job, per the /quote command the project documents, is simple: give it a ticker, get back a price.
The bot's own in-chat message references becoming a sponsor for "full access," which suggests a freemium or usage-limited model layered on top of the open-source core — worth checking directly before assuming everything is unlimited and free. Given the code is public, a technically inclined user could also self-host an instance if the shared public bot's limits do not fit their needs.
It is a reasonable pick for quick, no-nonsense ticker lookups, especially for anyone who values being able to verify a tool's behaviour via its source rather than taking a vendor's word for it — a meaningful trust signal in a category where most other bots offer no transparency at all.
