Haven't used WL in quite a while after Fidelity stopped supporting it but I am interested in rejoining. Do I need to buy data from a provider if I am only interested in end of day data? I'm trying to get a handle on the all-in costs.
Thanks

You can use the built in WealthData, QData, Yahoo, and CryptoCompare data providers for free daily data, among a few others. You can give it a free spin using the default 14 day trial period.
Among a few others that come as extensions, there are several providers to try out (may have limits on their free tier) like FinancialModelingPrep, Morningstar, Nasdaq, QuoteMedia, Tiingo, TwelveData, and Quandl. Extensions are free during the 14 day trial:

I'm in a similar situation but have remained a WL6 user and am now migrating to WL7. I found I can use the free price data for end of day prices.
An advantage with WL7 is that you don't have to specify the provider when creating the dataset. It will look at the providers in your list. This is the default list of providers I have after installing:
Wealth-Lab Data seems to be very reliable for prices so far. It contains the securities traded in the major indexes.
In WL7 a dataset can have mixed providers whereas WL6 didn't support that. This is helpful for me as most of my securities will be in Wealth-Data, but I have a few that are not. I can have a dataset containing all the securities and WL7 will find the best provider for each symbol.
As Glitch and Eugene stated, try it out for the trial period and see if the free price data satisfies your needs.

Talking about "free" data providers. They all come with their pros and cons. Some data is more reliable with one provider, some with another.
There is an extension called "finantic.BestData" which combines the data from several providers to arrive at a data set with a very low error rate.
