An AlphaSense alternative for tracking SEC filing changes
AlphaSense searches filings, broker research, transcripts and news for teams at banks, funds and corporations, and has a blacklining feature that marks changes between filings. Tickdelta covers a narrower job for a private investor: the change in the SEC filings of the companies you follow, quoted and linked to the filing.

When AlphaSense is the better choice
- You work at a firm and need transcripts, broker research and news in one place.
- You need alerts on any phrase in any company's documents.
- You cover companies outside our list.
When Tickdelta fits better
- You are a private investor and do not want a firm-sized tool or contract.
- You want the facts of the filing, without anyone's summary or rating in between.
- You want it free.
Tickdelta shows what changed in the filings, not whether to buy or sell. How to read a change, or see real examples.
