Our take
Alpaca offers a developer-first API for stock trading. It enables companies to offer short-stock trading both worldwide and competitively commission-free across various programming languages. Within one year of launch Alpaca facilitated over $1 billion in transactions.
This is impressive, but not surprising. Fintech apps that facilitate stock trading on a level previously inaccessible to retail investors are on the rise. Alpaca puts this software within reach of companies who may previously have lacked the ability or the tech to do so, meaning it delivers a valuable service.
Despite plenty of competition, Alpaca has created a solid position for itself. It is well-funded and set on international expansion as well as further development of its offering. In 2025, the company was accepted as a Nasdaq Exchange Member, reflecting its progression toward building in-house, full-stack brokerage infrastructure.
