Simply Wall St is a visual stock analysis and portfolio platform for long-term investors who prefer guided fundamental summaries over raw data tables. It is best known for its Snowflake-style company reports, global stock ideas, fair value views, dividend analysis, portfolio diagnostics, broker imports, and easy-to-scan visual research.

Calcbench is a professional SEC filing, XBRL, financial statement, disclosure, and Excel research platform for analysts who need traceable as-filed numbers, standardized accounting metrics, footnotes, redlines, proxy data, compensation data, M&A details, and API access. It is strongest for accounting-heavy U.S. equity research and data workflows, but meaningful access is priced for professional users and API access is sold separately from standard subscriptions.

SEC API is a commercial SEC/EDGAR API suite for developers, quants, compliance teams, and AI products that need fast filing search, real-time feeds, XBRL-to-JSON conversion, section extraction, insider filings, 13F data, and other structured regulatory datasets. It is strongest when you want production-ready normalized SEC data instead of building your own EDGAR ingestion stack, but the free tier is only a small starter allowance and redistribution requires enterprise terms.

Starred Tools
These are my top picks. Tools I've tested thoroughly and found to be excellent. They do their job really well, and I use them a lot. If you're not already familiar with them, I highly recommend checking them out.
Tested Tools
These are tools I've tried and found to be solid, but not standout. Think of them as passing an initial quality screen: worth exploring, though not all will be exceptional.
Curation & Accuracy
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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
