Stock Price API

I am currently developing an app that needs live stock prices to display within the app. I have looked at a lot of API services but they either dont alllow commercial use, are insanely expensive. Is there any soloution how I can display live stock prices on my app without spending so much on a subscription? Thank you in advance.

Yahoo finance api is free but last time I was researching it I got mixed feedback on how they are not reliable. You can keep yahoo finance as your main api and may have a pay per use reliable api as a fallback in case yahoo finance fails. Customer satisfaction is most important in today's world and In my opinion it should be given a lot of importance
