BamSEC is a web-based SEC filings and transcripts research platform for investors and analysts who need faster EDGAR workflows.

ETF Insider is a web-based ETF, mutual fund, and stock portfolio visualization tool for investors who want to see holdings overlap, concentration, correlations, factor exposure, and efficient-frontier style portfolio tradeoffs.

FinancialData.Net is an API-first financial data platform for developers, analysts, spreadsheet users, and AI-agent builders who want broad market data, fundamentals, ownership, options, funds, ESG, calendars, news, Excel access, and MCP connectivity from one provider. It is strongest when breadth matters: stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, options, futures, crypto, forex, commodities, OTC securities, indices, filings-related datasets, and institutional/insider activity can sit behind one REST API. Serious use is paid, and compliance/security claims should be verified directly because no public audit reports were identified.

GeminIQ is a browser-based U.S. public-company research platform built around as-filed SEC financial statements. It combines XBRL-traceable 10-K and 10-Q data with calculated metrics, interactive visualizations, reusable custom tables, stock screening, watchlists and comparable-company analysis, Form 4 insider transactions, institutional ownership monitoring, and post-earnings price-reaction views. It is strongest for filing-grounded fundamental research, but coverage is U.S.-focused and new filing data is available the next day rather than in real time.

SentiSense is a beta AI market-intelligence and data API platform for investors and developers who want stock data, sentiment, news clustering, social signals, institutional flows, insider trades, congressional trading disclosures, and AI-generated insights in one workflow.

The Ledger Terminal is a web-based fundamental stock research terminal built around one-page U.S. stock tearsheets, valuation charts, quality checks, screeners, comparisons, and SEC-linked financial history. It is aimed at long-term business analysis, not trading execution or portfolio accounting.

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.
