FinHisaab and PakDataHub both work with Pakistani economic data, but they serve different people. FinHisaab is aimed at consumers — calculators and personal-finance tools (an inflation calculator and similar). PakDataHub is aimed at developers, analysts and teams who need the underlying data itself, through an API.
The short version
- FinHisaab — great if you want a ready-made calculator to answer a personal-finance question in your browser.
- PakDataHub — the right tool if you need the raw, complete data to power your own app, model, dashboard or research.
What PakDataHub gives you that a calculator can't
- The data, via API. 16,964 official series — inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, trade, commodities, payments, funds — as JSON or CSV, queryable by date, with server-side transforms. Build your own calculator, or feed a model.
- Depth and history. CPI by group, prices by city, USD/PKR from 1947, fund NAVs from 1996, KIBOR by tenor, Raast volumes — not just a headline number.
- Free tools too. If you do want ready-made calculators, PakDataHub has ungated ones — an inflation calculator, USD/PKR history, a cost-of-living index and a fund screener — all built on the same live API you can call yourself.
When to pick which
- FinHisaab — a quick consumer calculation in the browser.
- PakDataHub — the natural choice when you need the actual data, at scale, in your own code: self-serve API, transparent pricing, a key in minutes.
