You can open a tdameritrade account and load their streamer, but I don’t understand why you think you need real-time. Yahoo finance for instance has a 20min delay which should be much quicker then you would need. Please put in a follow-up why you think you need real-time.
Follow-up answer: ok, by easier I think you mean it more reflects the current price when you are thinking of placing your buy/sell order……the bid/ask/last close you see when you attempt to place your order will be realtime as well. Day traders use sophisticated real-time tools, but for the average investor who intends to be in a position for a length of time (unless the mkt stops them out quickly said with quick 8% drop) you should be ok with the normal offerings of the online brokers, like the streamer….
