Koyfin

Koyfin is a web and mobile research terminal with dashboards, charts, screens, portfolios, news, alerts, transcripts, and market data across equities, funds, macro, FX, commodities, crypto, and yield curves.

OpenInsider

OpenInsider is a free SEC Form 4 screener for insider buying, selling, cluster buys, and transaction reports. It is useful for quick table-based research, but there is no formal support SLA, mobile app, or documented public API.

Perplexity Finance

Perplexity Finance combines cited AI answers with stocks, ETFs, funds, crypto, options, news, charts, screens, earnings documents, ownership, government-trading views, and a finance_search tool. Answers still need verification, and consumer plans are billed separately from the API.

Quartr

Quartr provides earnings calls, live transcripts, filings, reports, decks, estimates, AI chat, and investor-relations data. The app is useful for free call and transcript access; Pro and API serve professional research, MCP, webhooks, and integrations.

Roic AI

Roic AI provides company financials, ratios, valuations, transcripts, news, stock screens, spreadsheet add-ins, a REST API, and an MCP server. Plans differ by request rate, history, price-data latency, and commercial-use rights.

SEC API (sec-api.io)

SEC API is a commercial EDGAR service with filing search, real-time feeds, XBRL-to-JSON conversion, section extraction, insider filings, 13F data, and other regulatory datasets. It is for production ingestion rather than building your own parser. The free tier is small and redistribution needs enterprise terms.

SEC EDGAR - Company Filings (Full‑Text Search & Search Filings)

SEC EDGAR is the free public source for company, fund, insider, ownership, prospectus, and XBRL filings submitted to the SEC. It has full-text search, latest filings, RSS, CIK lookup, public JSON APIs, archives, and bulk files. Most filings still need parsing before comparison or analysis.

SEC.gov (EDGAR)

SEC.gov EDGAR is the official free source for U.S. company, fund, insider, and 13F filings, with full-text search, RSS, bulk archives, and public JSON APIs. It is the validation source for filings research, not a polished commercial terminal.

Short Interest - FMM

Find My Moat Short Interest is a free, searchable tracker for U.S. stocks with short interest above 20%. It is a discovery table with plain-language context, not a trade signal, export feed, or API.

Simply Wall St

Simply Wall St provides visual company reports, fair value estimates, dividend analysis, portfolio checks, broker imports, and global stock ideas. It suits long-term investors who prefer guided research to raw tables.

Stock Analysis

Stock Analysis combines screeners, financial statements, calendars, news, charts, forecasts, watchlists, and portfolios on web and mobile. Paid plans add longer history, higher limits, exports, ETF holdings, broker sync, and analyst filters. The service does not provide brokerage execution, advice, or programmatic data access.

TIKR

TIKR is a browser equity-research terminal for global fundamentals, statements, estimates, valuation, transcripts, filings, and screens. It suits long-term stock research; paid plans add history, coverage, exports, and higher workflow limits.

Uncle Stock

Uncle Stock screens more than 100,000 global stocks with financial metrics, valuation models, scores, historical tests, watchlists, and alerts. Gold adds CSV and JSON access, an MCP server, and limited portfolio tracking. It is not a broker or an intraday trading simulator.

Unusual Whales

Unusual Whales tracks options flow, dark pools, congressional trades, insider activity, market data, alerts, screeners, and social sentiment. It is built for active traders and alternative-data research, not a broker, portfolio ledger, or guarantee that unusual activity predicts returns.

13F Insight

13F Insight pulls institutional holdings, insider trades, and ownership filings into one research workspace. Its AI can answer questions with filing citations, but the filings arrive late and the generated summaries still need a check against the SEC documents.

Alpha Vantage

Alpha Vantage is an API-first source for market and economic data. Developers, students, quants, and analysts can pull stocks, funds, FX, crypto, options, commodities, fundamentals, news, sentiment, and macro series with one key. The free quota is small, and commercial use needs separate licensing.

AlphaResearch

AlphaResearch puts filings, transcripts, press releases, estimates, news, insider trades, ownership, and fund holdings in one searchable workspace. It is aimed at document-heavy research. Global coverage and spreadsheet add-ins require Enterprise, and the premium trial asks for a card.

Beanvest

Beanvest gives long-term investors a compact quality-investing framework. Its stock reports score moat, pricing power, predictability, financial strength, capital allocation, and management, then add fair-value labels and a quality screen. Coverage is selective, premium data is gated, and there is no free trial.

Bloomberg (Europe)

Bloomberg Europe is the regional Bloomberg.com newsroom and app experience. It offers European and global business reporting, market snapshots, watchlists, alerts, TV, radio, podcasts, newsletters, and Businessweek. It is a media subscription, not Bloomberg Terminal, execution, or institutional data access.

Börsdata

Börsdata gives investors long-history Nordic fundamentals, ratios, screens, ownership, insider and short-selling data, technical charts, reports, watchlists, calendars, and spreadsheet or API access. It is strongest for Nordic equities. Global data, holdings, Excel or Sheets workflows, and the REST API depend on the plan.

Bridgewater Associates

Bridgewater's public site is a research library, not a self-serve way to invest with Bridgewater. It is useful for reading the firm's macro work on Pure Alpha, All Weather, risk parity, inflation, monetary policy, debt cycles, and systematic investing. The site does not open Bridgewater mandates to ordinary investors.

Business Quant

Business Quant covers U.S. company fundamentals, operating KPIs, segment data, analyst estimates, institutional ownership, and insider trades. It is useful when company-specific operating measures matter alongside standard financial statements. The free plan limits KPI history and API usage, while paid plans increase history and usage allowances.

BuySide Digest - Hedge Fund Letter Database

BuySide Digest is a free searchable collection of hedge-fund letters, manager commentary, tickers, themes, quarters, 13F context, and investment pitches. It is useful for qualitative idea work and alerts when new letters appear. The documents are public, delayed, and opinions rather than live signals.

Calcbench

Calcbench extracts and standardizes financial data and disclosure text from SEC filings. Users can trace values to source documents, compare filings, work in Excel, or license API access separately.

camelcamelcamel (UK)

camelcamelcamel UK tracks Amazon UK prices for shoppers, ecommerce researchers, and consumer-product analysts. It supplies price history, drop alerts, wishlist imports, RSS, bookmarklets, and the Camelizer extension. It can add pricing context to a consumer-company thesis, but it is not a fundamentals feed or investing terminal.

Capitol Trades

Capitol Trades tracks U.S. congressional trading disclosures under the STOCK Act. Filter trades by politician, issuer, chamber, party, committee, state, asset, transaction type, sector, size, and filing details. Disclosures can arrive after the trade, and reported amounts are ranges rather than exact fills.

Cbonds

Cbonds is a bond-data service for professional and private investors. Search bonds, quotes, yields, ratings, new issues, events, watchlists, and portfolios. Companies can also license API and file feeds or an Excel add-in.

CEO Watcher

CEO Watcher organizes US insider transactions by historical forward returns, win rates, trade patterns, and filing context. A free weekly newsletter covers selected trades; paid access adds search, feeds, Discord, alerts, and a daily pre-market email.

CEO.CA

CEO.CA combines Canadian small-cap chat rooms with market data for TSX, TSXV, and CSE issuers. It offers watchlists, news, SEDI insider filings, private placements, mobile access, and paid Level II depth. Community posts are leads, not research, and Pro pricing varies by exchange coverage.

CFPB Consumer Complaint Database

The CFPB Consumer Complaint Database publishes complaints about consumer financial products and services. Users can study complaints by company, product, issue, geography, response, and narrative through the site, a CSV download, or the API. The CFPB does not verify the consumer's account.

Changeflow (Trackly)

Changeflow, formerly Trackly, monitors web pages, PDFs, feeds, and API endpoints. It summarizes detected changes for review. It does not supply market prices or execute trades.

ChartMill

ChartMill is a browser screener and charting service for U.S., Canadian, and European stocks and some ETFs. It supports technical and fundamental screens, swing-trading ideas, watchlists, alerts, dashboards, ratings, and strategy templates. It is still a research tool, not a broker or full portfolio ledger.

CME FedWatch

CME FedWatch converts 30-Day Fed Funds futures into market-implied probabilities for upcoming FOMC rate outcomes. It is useful for rates and macro monitoring, with a free web tool and paid end-of-day or intraday APIs. The probabilities are market pricing, not Fed guidance.

Danelfin

Danelfin scores stocks and ETFs from 1 to 10 based on its estimate of three-month market outperformance. Use the score, rankings, screens, alerts, and API for idea generation. It is a signal layer, not a complete investment process.

DATAROMA

DATAROMA is a focused tracker for superinvestor 13F portfolios, portfolio changes, and insider buying. It is handy for finding managers and ideas to investigate. Verify the filing date, position size, and current fundamentals before drawing a conclusion.

Delta by eToro

Delta by eToro is a read-only tracker for stocks, ETFs, funds, crypto, NFTs, forex, commodities, indices, brokers, exchanges, and wallets. Use it to see several accounts in one place. It adds visibility, not another trading venue.

Dilution Tracker

Dilution Tracker watches the filings and events that change a company's share count, including shelves, ATMs, warrants, convertibles, S-1 offerings, and reverse splits. It is most useful for volatile U.S. small caps where new supply can change the trade quickly.
