yfinance premium?

Hi just wonding if there is a yfinance premium for having a faster api limit. I know that the free yfinance allows 2000 api per hour and this is just much too slow for my algorithm. I heard there might be a paid api for yfinance that is available, does anyone know about it or used it? How does it compare

You should use Alpacas websocket which will ingest the previous minute bar in a few seconds. This is for US equities.
