I sold a tree service business for $60M. Then I spent 50 hours building a platform that can wire around Bloomberg's 50-year head start.
Here's what happened.
A user typed "build an alternative to the Bloomberg Terminal" into MeterCall.
MeterCall researched Bloomberg's feature set, then wired nine APIs — Polygon, Alpaca, SEC EDGAR, Refinitiv, FRED, ATTOM, CoinGecko, Claude, Slack. Seven of them are free.
85 seconds later, a working terminal: live tickers, charts, news, BQL-style queries, portfolio analytics, IB-style chat.
This isn't about replacing Bloomberg. It's about replacing the PATTERN. Every enterprise software incumbent was built by a brilliant team over 20–50 years. Every one of them can now be wired around in hours.
Workday. SAP. Salesforce. MuleSoft. Epic. ServiceTitan. Lexis+. Every incumbent has a price. Every price has a workaround.
MeterCall is that workaround layer. 4,800+ modules, 30M+ APIs, 25+ AI models. Every module is usable as-is per call, or forkable in 20 minutes.
Bloomberg gives you a locked room. We hand you keys and a hammer. Builders keep 70% of profit. QA keeps 30%. MeterCall keeps 0%. Affiliates take 50%. First 5,000 signups get 75% of their spend back.
It took Bloomberg 50 years.
It took us 50 hours.

Hey HN. MeterCall is a module marketplace — 4,800+ modules, 30M+ cataloged APIs, AI router across 25+ models on top. Every module is pay-per-call AND forkable. Builders keep 70%, QA 30%, MeterCall 0%. Affiliates take 50% when they bring users.
To show what it can do, we had it build an alternative to the Bloomberg Terminal. 9 APIs wired (7 free), ~85 seconds on camera, working terminal at the end. Video on the page.
The bet: every enterprise incumbent (Bloomberg, Salesforce, Workday, MuleSoft, Epic, Lexis+) was built over 20–50 years and priced to match. The APIs underneath them are mostly available. The missing layer was an AI that could wire them.
Free to start. Load meter credits when you hit the limit. No seats, no contracts.
Happy to answer anything — architecture, how the router works, the catalog build-out.

Pat here.
You know me from TreeCommand or JobCommand. Today I launched the platform both of those were actually built on.
It's called MeterCall. 4,800+ modules, 30M+ APIs wired, AI router on top. Bloomberg gives you a locked room — MeterCall hands you keys and a hammer. Use any module as-is per call, or fork it in 20 min. Builders keep 70%. MeterCall keeps 0%.
Bloomberg isn't special. Every enterprise incumbent is a team that spent 20–50 years building on top of APIs that are mostly public now. The missing layer was an AI that could wire them. That's what MeterCall is.
Free to start. Load meter credits when you hit the limit. No contracts, no seats.

Social Posts with Products (how they'll look)
Every post pairs copy with a real product screenshot or live preview. No text-only posts.
