Comparison · honest version

You don't need a terminal.
You need what's inside one.

Institutional terminals bundle research data with execution, chat and a sales process. If you only ever wanted the research half, you have been paying four or five figures a year for the other half.20.9M price bars, 1.5M filing facts,23.5M institutional positions and an AI on top — $69.99 a month, and free to look at.

No demo call. No sales email. The product is the demo.

What we do not do

Stated up front, because you will find out anyway and it is cheaper for both of us if it is now.

  • No order execution — this is research, not a broker
  • No dealer chat network
  • No deep fixed-income or OTC derivatives analytics
  • No options open interest
  • Fundamentals cover a subset of issuers, not all of them yet

If any of those is the reason you have a terminal, keep the terminal.

Where the difference actually is

The right-hand column describes what research tools in this category typically offer — not any single named product, because their contracts and tiers differ and a made-up comparison table is worth nothing.

Questions people actually ask

Is this a Bloomberg Terminal replacement?

For a trading desk that lives on chat, execution and fixed-income depth: no, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling. For research — price history, filings, insider and institutional flow, fundamentals, macro, screening and backtesting, plus an AI that reads all of it — it does the job at about a two-hundredth of what an institutional terminal seat costs.

What is actually missing compared with a full terminal?

No order execution. No dealer chat network. No deep fixed-income or OTC derivatives analytics. No options open interest. Fundamentals currently cover a subset of issuers rather than every listed company — that gap is real, we know its size, and it is being closed.

How does it compare with a retail charting app?

Charting apps are built around the chart, and their history usually starts when their data vendor started. The difference here is what sits behind the chart: filings, insider transactions, 13F positions, macro series and a point-in-time universe that includes companies that stopped trading — plus a backtest engine that corrects for the biases most tools do not mention.

And versus a raw data API?

An API gives you rows and leaves the work to you. If you have an engineer and a use case, that can be the right answer. This is for the case where you want the question answered today rather than a pipeline built this quarter — and where you want the AI to have already joined the tables.

What does it cost?

Free to open and read, with limits. Pro is $69.99 a month or $699 a year, Elite is $99.99 a month, and there is a $4.99 seven-day trial. AI analysis runs on credits — 1,000 a month on Pro, roughly 200 full analyses.

Can I try it without giving you anything?

Yes. The terminal is public: charts, screener, filings, news and macro are all on screen right now without an account or a card. That is deliberate — nobody signs up to find out what is behind a login.

The measured signals, when they fire

Which instruments had an event with a measured base rate behind it, and the number that backs it. No market calls, no newsletter filler.

Open it before you decide anything.

It is public. No card, no call, no form — the terminal loads with data on screen.
