How is OilPriceAPI different from Rextag?

Rextag is a GIS mapping platform focused on visualizing energy infrastructure — pipelines, midstream assets, and facilities — on interactive maps for analysts and landmen. OilPriceAPI is built for developers who need programmatic, structured JSON: well permits, rig counts, frac spreads, and live commodity prices delivered via a modern REST API and integrated directly into applications, dashboards, and models.

Does OilPriceAPI provide pipeline and infrastructure GIS maps?

No. If you need interactive pipeline, midstream, or facility map layers, Rextag specializes in that GIS cartography. OilPriceAPI focuses on structured energy DATA — 2.19M+ well permits across 27 US states, US rig counts, frac spreads, and live oil, gas, and fuel prices — delivered as JSON via API rather than as map visualizations.

What is the cost comparison between Rextag and OilPriceAPI?

Rextag is typically sold through enterprise GIS licensing and custom quotes. OilPriceAPI uses transparent, self-serve tiers starting at $49/month for commodity data, with the Scale (Drilling Intelligence) plan at $299/month for well permits, rig counts, and frac spreads. No demo, procurement, or contract required.

Developer First

Rextag is built for GIS analysts and landmen working in map viewers. OilPriceAPI is built for engineers — clean, documented REST endpoints that drop straight into your stack.

Structured Data, Not Maps

One API for live WTI & Brent prices, US rig counts, frac spreads, and 2.19M+ well permits as JSON — ready for your models and dashboards, no map exports to wrangle.

Instant Setup

No demo, no custom GIS quote, no procurement. Sign up and start pulling energy data into your app in under 5 minutes.

When Rextag is the better choice

If your core need is interactive GIS maps of pipelines, midstream assets, and facility infrastructure, Rextag specializes in that cartography and OilPriceAPI does not replace it. Choose OilPriceAPI when you need the underlying energy data — well permits, rig counts, frac spreads, and live prices — as a programmatic REST API to build your own applications.
