Fey
Best for portfolio and watchlist
Desktop-first investing research app acquired by Wealthsimple on Aug 27, 2025.

Best for stock ideas and stock comparison

TickerTrends combines consumer search, web traffic, app usage, social, news, transcript, financial/consensus, and proprietary trend signals into dashboards, alerts, KPI forecasts, custom data delivery, and API/S3/CSV/Excel workflows. The paid self-serve tier is Alternative Data Basic at $998/year or $98.70/month with a 7-day trial; the KPI Forecasting & Full Intelligence Suite is custom priced. Free access paths include a free/select-insights tier, a free Chrome extension, and a free alternative-data education program.
