Hands-on review
Analytics platform focused on short interest and securities lending, with additional coverage of options flow, insider trades, analyst views, and index rebalances. Offers a free tier with limited features, plus paid plans (Basic $39/mo, Advanced $129/mo). Options data is sourced from OPRA and requires agreeing to OPRA terms. API access is available with key-based authentication, and an Excel Add-in (beta) supports short interest data.

Wall St. Rank
wallstrank.com
Fund‑ and analyst‑consensus explorer with an API. Core pillars: 13F‑based fund portfolios & trends (incl. new/closed/increased/reduced positions and calls/puts), analyst ratings & price‑target feed with firm/analyst profiles, news sentiment views, plus a quarterly ‘Fund Manager Index.’ Strong for event‑ and consensus‑driven equity research; not a broker/execution or factor backtesting tool.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
