Yes, the platform would cost you $100 indeed. You can also see
it like this. You pay $100 for the platform and get the data for free !!
It's just intresting for people that want to test on not supported symbols
or want to have a backup datafeed or want to check if the report
generated by TS is the same as on E-Signal data. (it might not be
for instance because of bad data)

I don't know. You have to ask the developer that.

One thing is sure, it can not hurt to have backups....
