Stock Companion vs Seeking Alpha

Both tools help you decide what to do with a stock, and they go about it differently. This page says which is which, including the parts where Seeking Alpha is the better choice.

What Seeking Alpha is

A large library of written investment analysis from thousands of contributors, plus earnings-call transcripts and company data. Plans are Basic, Premium and PRO.

What Seeking Alpha does better

Written depth, by a distance. If you want ten thousand words of argument about one company from someone who has followed it for a decade, that is Seeking Alpha and it is not us.

What we do that they do not

A number you can act on in ten seconds, and the method behind it written down in public. Sentiment, signal and risk for a ticker, updated as the news arrives, with every scored headline listed — rather than an essay you have to read and weigh yourself.

Which to pick

Stock Companion is the better fit for someone who wants a fast read on the news rather than long-form analysis. If what you want is the thing Seeking Alpha does better above, use Seeking Alpha — plenty of people sensibly use both.

Nothing here is investment advice. Our method is written up in full on the methodology page.
