Best for: Institutional research teams that need AI search across broker research, expert transcripts, filings, news, and internal documents.
Watch for: Sales-led enterprise pricing: AlphaSense does not publish seat prices. Annual subscriptions require a sales conversation.
Best for: Investors who want AI-assisted company research backed by financials, estimates, transcripts, filings, and dashboards.
Watch for: Free access is limited: The free API is limited to 100 companies, 50 requests per minute, and 250 requests per day. Deeper history, exports, and some datasets require paid plans.
Best for: Long-term fundamental investors looking for executive interviews, company learning journeys, surveys, and original business-quality research.
Watch for: Paid pricing is contact-based: The FAQ directs professional and individual investors to contact In Practise for paid pricing details.
Best for: Investors and analysts who care about first-party earnings calls, transcripts, filings, slides, and AI answers with source traceability.
Watch for: Pro and API are contact-sales products: The free mobile app is useful, but desktop Pro, API datasets, exports, MCP, and enterprise controls are commercial contract products without public prices.

Average share of Tegus categories each alternative covers.
AlphaSense, In Practise, and Smartkarma share the most workflows with Tegus, in that order. Start with the one whose Keep list matches what you use daily.
In Practise, Smartkarma, Reflexivity, AlphaResearch, Quartr, and Fiscal.ai start free, so you can test them before paying. Check each card for signup and usage limits on the free plan.
Between them the top matches cover AI Research, Alerts, Data Visualizations, Financials, Improved Filings, Sheets / Excel Add-ins, and Transcripts. Tegus workflows in those areas move over as they are. The Lose column on each card names what does not.
None of the alternatives here cover Research Templates. Keep Tegus for that, or run both tools side by side.

This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
