#How do Seeking Alpha and Investi differ?
Seeking Alpha is about opinions: thousands of contributors write about stocks, and the platform rates them, rates the stocks, and shows how past ideas performed. Investi is about evidence: you ask a question and the analyst answers from the filings, so you can form your own opinion.
| Seeking Alpha | Investi | |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Articles, news and ratings from contributors and a quant model | An AI analyst you ask, in a workspace you keep |
| Ratings | Quant Ratings, factor grades, author and sell-side ratings | None of its own; it doesn't tell you what to buy |
| Sources | Contributor analysis, news and financial data | The filing itself, down to the passage or table cell |
| Your work | Portfolios, watchlists and alerts | Notes, theses and folders next to each company, read by the analyst |
| Portfolio | Broker linking with daily updates | Read-only brokerage sync with returns and risk stats |
#What we compared
We rank tools on the same four criteria everywhere: how deep they reach into the filed record, whether a number links to its source, whether your work persists, and price. Prices change often, so check each product's pricing page. See how we compare.
#Where is Seeking Alpha better?
Ideas and opinion at scale. If you want to know what other investors think of a stock, and how their past calls on it worked out, Seeking Alpha has years of articles and a track record for each author. Its Quant Ratings and factor grades give a fast first read across thousands of stocks, and it offers call transcripts, news, dividend scores and ETF screens, none of which Investi has.
#Where is Investi better?
Checking claims against the source. An article tells you what an author thinks the 10-K says; Investi reads the 10-K, and every number it gives you links to the passage or cell it came from. Calculations show their formula. Your own notes and theses sit next to each company and the analyst reads them, so your research builds on itself instead of living in bookmarks. Investi has no ratings of its own, by design: it helps you think; it doesn't think for you.
#Who should pick which?
Pick Seeking Alpha if you want ideas, debate and ratings from a large community. Pick Investi if you want to do the reading yourself, faster, with sources. Many investors will use both: an idea from an article, checked against the filings.
