MacroMicro

What is MacroMicro?

MacroMicro is a browser-based macroeconomic data platform that turns economic, industry and company data into dynamic charts, proprietary indicators and research notes, with an AI layer called MM AI on top.

MacroMicro is a Taiwan start-up founded by Rachel Chen and Ken Wang, and its name combines macroeconomics and microeconomics. The company says that since 2015 it has built a global database, macro education, proprietary analysis tools, an Industry Intelligence Hub and, most recently, MM AI.

The company also says more than 7.6 million users visit each year (as captured on October 5, 2026), from individual investors to financial institutions, listed companies and media research teams. That figure is self-reported traffic, not an audited user count.

Core features

Data coverage

• Macro: data for 132 countries, plus central-bank decisions, global FX, equities, bonds and ETFs.
• Industry: AI, semiconductors, defense, crypto, nuclear energy and other sectors.
• Company: 5,000 US earnings reports, earnings calls, calendars and forecast data.

The Industry Trends area adds 455+ exclusive charts that track supply and demand across semiconductors, tech, energy and other key sectors. In the plan comparison, the ETF tools include an ETF screener and comparator plus a Stock-to-ETF reverse lookup.

Proprietary indices and partner data

• Fundamentals: forward indicators, inflation expectations and business-cycle measures.
• Sentiment: AI optimism/pessimism readings, Fear & Greed, and institutional allocation.
• Trading: bull-bear indicators and expectation indices.
• Partner datasets: Dun & Bradstreet's 600M+ global business credit records and Isaiah Research's in-depth semiconductor coverage.

Charting toolbox

Prime members can use the Toolbox to analyze data, create custom charts, save and follow them, back-test strategies and work on investment timing. Chart types include line, bar, stacked and seasonality views.

Sector and company modules

The Max AI plan card lists the Global Industry Intelligence Hub, a US Earnings Forecast & Competitive Analysis Module, Earnings Call Summaries and a Fully Updated Stock Database. These modules extend the product from macro charting into stock-level research.

MM AI

• AI Chat: you ask macro questions and the assistant connects MacroMicro's database to point you to relevant charts and lines of analysis.
• Grounding claim: the company says MM AI does not generate answers from thin air and draws every conclusion from a verifiable, traceable database.
• Launch status: the subscribe page says MM AI officially launched in July 2026, with more features and upgrades still rolling out.

Reports, education and community

MacroMicro's content layer includes a Blog with current macro analysis, Spotlight posts that highlight the most impactful charts, and MacroAcademy, which covers basics for newer investors. The MM community lets members share insights made with Prime's chartmaker, and inviting friends earns M Coins that can extend a membership.

Guide

Using the AI tools inside the site

1. Open a Macro, Charts or Blog page and use the entry in the bottom-right corner to chat with the MM AI Analyst.
2. In Toolbox, switch to AI mode to use the AI Charting Tool.

Setting up the economic calendar

1. Choose an annual subscription; the calendar is included free with any annual plan.
2. Redeem the calendar through My Rewards.

Changing or cancelling a plan

1. Log in and open Member Profile to upgrade or modify a plan, including a switch from monthly to annual billing.
2. To cancel a card or UnionPay subscription, go to Member Profile > Payment History; PayPal subscribers cancel the automatic payment on the PayPal website.
3. After cancelling, access continues until the end of the current billing cycle and the next renewal is not charged.

Retrying a failed data download

On plans with data downloads, a failed download can be retried from the download records page in your member profile within one hour, and the retry does not count toward your download quota.

MacroMicro use cases

MacroMicro organizes its analysis in three layers, from macro to micro: locating the economic cycle, spotting sectors where capital and demand are heating up, and monitoring company growth and risk. Beyond that research workflow, the plans support a few distinct jobs.

• Publishing charts: charts downloaded with the MM Business plan carry full commercial rights and can be used in public presentations or printed in books.
• Feeding internal systems: API Essential is positioned for teams that need efficient access to global economic, industry and market data, with historical coverage for internal research and development.
• Planning around data releases: once synced to a personal calendar, the economic calendar delivers daily updates on important data release times and charts.

Who is it for

MM AI is pitched at market newcomers, pro investors who want one-click charting, earnings analysis and risk alerts, and business decision-makers using partner-grade data and supply-chain links.

• Individual investors: Prime covers core macro data and the toolbox, and Max AI adds sector and US equity research.
• Institutions and corporate teams: Business AI is built for institutional workflows, with commercial licensing for charts in external reports and media, team management for 4+ seats and data downloads.
• Research teams needing bespoke data: the Custom plan is aimed at enterprises, investment institutions and professional research teams that need highly customized data, in-depth analysis and business applications.

Professional users face a specific restriction: certain data services, such as US equity earnings estimates sourced from Refinitiv, are available only to "Non-Professional Users" for investment purposes and may not be used for automated trading or programmatic strategy development.

Platforms

• Web: MacroMicro runs in the browser, and its MM AI page carries a language switch for 繁, 简 and EN.
• Calendar apps: annual subscribers can sync the Global Economic Calendar with Apple or Google Calendar through one-click auto-sync.
• API: API Essential provides 13,000+ global economic indicators, 100,000+ industry and stock financial reports, 18,000+ financial market data series, full historical access and 5,000 API calls per month with an annual subscription.
• Device limit: one account can be used on no more than two devices or browsers at the same time, and sharing an account with anyone else is prohibited.
• Sign-in methods: each login method is treated as a separate account, so a paid plan that does not show up may sit under a different login method.

Pricing

MacroMicro pricing is split between individual plans (Prime and Max AI) and enterprise plans. Besides regular members, users become subscribers through paid plans whose features, scope and pricing may change. Prices below are as captured on October 5, 2026.

The plan cards show annual prices as per-month equivalents without an annual total; the comparison table on the same page lists MacroMicro at $25 monthly or $250 per year without naming the tier.

The key content gap between the two individual plans: Prime focuses on core macroeconomic data and does not include the Industry Intelligence Hub or the U.S. Earnings Database. AI capacity also differs: the comparison table gives Prime a limited trial of selected AI features, Max AI basic token usage (selected features only on monthly billing), and Biz 20x token usage.

Billing, renewal and refunds

• Price lock: uninterrupted subscribers keep their rate for life even if prices rise; a lapsed subscriber who rejoins pays the latest pricing.
• Renewal timing: annual subscribers get a reminder email 10 days before expiry, and auto-renewals are billed 2 days before the current term ends.
• Refunds: individual-plan payments are non-refundable within the bounds of applicable law, with no refund for any period shorter than the billing month or year.
• Cooling-off: the terms say that once the debit is authorized the service is deemed fully rendered, so the 7-day rescission right under Taiwan's Consumer Protection Act does not apply.
• Enterprise seats: each enterprise subscription includes four accounts in total, all from the same company, and enterprise subscriptions are not refunded.
• M-coins: refunds of purchased M-coins deduct a 20% fee and are limited to one refund per account unless the site is at fault.

MacroMicro alternatives

MacroMicro's own comparison table sets it against Bloomberg, YCharts, Koyfin and Trading Economics. An independent investing newsletter's macro-tools roundup lists it next to Koyfin, FRED, Trading Economics and World Bank Open Data, describing MacroMicro as connecting macro data with market implications.

• Koyfin: its Free plan costs $0 per month and includes market and macro dashboards plus advanced charting. Koyfin also states a full refund within 30 days, a sharp contrast with MacroMicro's no-refund terms.
• Trading Economics: offers browser downloads of historical data for 20 million indicators, though, like MacroMicro, it gives no refund or credit for unused days.
• FRED: called the Federal Reserve's official data portal in that newsletter; its homepage describes it as a trusted source for economic data since 1991, with data browsable by category, release and source.
• Bloomberg and YCharts: named in MacroMicro's comparison table; their pricing and features were not independently checked for this profile.

Limitations

Not investment advice

• MacroMicro states its data, analytics and editorial content are for informational purposes only, official reporting sources prevail, and users bear their own investment risk; it assumes no liability for trading profits or losses.
• The terms describe site information and tools as reference material, not suggestions about investment or wealth management, and say site data is based on officially released information.
• AI-generated content is for reference only, does not represent MacroMicro's position and is not investment or financial advice.

AI features are still rolling out

• On the dedicated MM AI app page, AI Dashboard is labelled "Coming Soon" and "Launching Later", even though the subscribe page markets full future access to it on annual Max AI.
• The MM AI landing page notes that it previews upcoming capabilities and that the content, modules and data shown there are illustrative.
• AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions or inaccuracies, and MacroMicro does not warrant its accuracy, completeness or reliability.
• AI usage quotas, frequency limits and availability may be adjusted without individual prior notice.

Data use and redistribution

MacroMicro does not permit data from any subscription plan to be used for commercial profit, and its data-provider agreements prohibit re-licensing, transfer, sale, loan or distribution of data and derivative works. Exclusive indicator data is downloadable or available by API only on the Custom plan, and some partner data cannot be downloaded or accessed by API at all because of contracts.

Without prior written consent, downloading MacroMicro's data, re-posting its articles, and citing or re-posting its data or charts are all prohibited. For Business AI, licensed charts and data may stop updating if a data source changes its policies or is discontinued, and MacroMicro may add, modify or terminate authorized data categories.

Conflicting download quotas

The subscribe page FAQ lists data downloads among MM Business's exclusive features and says the plan offers 200 data downloads per month. The enterprise page says the Business AI plan offers up to 500 data downloads per month. The site uses both names for its business tier, and neither page explains the gap.

Jurisdiction

The terms are governed by Republic of China (Taiwan) law, with the Taiwan Taipei District Court as the court of first instance for disputes.

Privacy and data rights

• AI inputs: questions and materials sent to the AI features may be used for system maintenance, troubleshooting and service improvement, and may be transmitted to third-party AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Google. The terms do not say whether those inputs are used to train models.
• Personal data: MacroMicro says it complies with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, and personal data may be transferred cross-border to overseas vendors that support AI features and data services. The pages reviewed do not mention GDPR or SOC 2.
• Sharing: the company says it will never sell personal identification information and will not share personal data with third parties for marketing.
• Cookies: the site may use cookies to record IP address, browser type and time, and visitors can opt out of cookie tracking.
• Deletion: users can request account deletion by emailing support@macromicro.me, and such requests are handled within a reasonable period unless law requires retention.
• Payments: card details are protected with SSL 256-bit encryption, and MacroMicro keeps only the first six and last four card digits for reconciliation.
• AI output rights: intellectual property in AI-generated content belongs to the platform, users may use it only within their subscription plan, and commercial use beyond that is not allowed.
