A free BamSEC alternative for what changed in SEC filings
BamSEC is a filings reader: search and open filings, tables, exhibits and earnings call transcripts for companies listed in the US. Tickdelta starts from the change instead: the new paragraphs in the risk factors, the numbers that moved and the people who sold or bought, each quoted and linked to the filing on sec.gov.
Side by side
| BamSEC | Tickdelta | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Search and read SEC filings, and other documents, for companies it covers | Show what changed in the filings against the last one, with the quote and the link |
| Price | Paid. About $69 a month when billed yearly, as listed when we looked | Free. Pro is free for now, with an email address and no card. |
| Companies | Far more than we cover | S&P 500 and the companies that hold crypto, about 662 companies. |
| Risk factors: changes | Compare two filings side by side (as described on its help pages) | New paragraphs against last year's 10-K and against the latest 10-Q, with a redline of edited sentences |
| Tables to Excel | Download tables from a filing | Any table of a 10-K or 10-Q as CSV, with the address of the filing in the last row |
| Earnings call transcripts | Yes | No. A call is not filed with the SEC, so we show the earnings release from the 8-K |
| Exhibits (credit agreements, contracts) | A key-exhibits view | Not yet, apart from the slide decks attached to 8-Ks |
| Insiders, 13D and 13F | Filings can be opened and searched | Pages for insider trades, activists and superinvestors, with the filings linked |
| Email alerts | On new filings | On what changed in a filing: new risk factors, auditor or officer changes, restatements, insider purchases |

When BamSEC is the better choice
- You need companies we do not cover. BamSEC reaches much further than our list.
- You read earnings call transcripts or work through the exhibits, such as credit agreements, every day.
- You want to open any filing of any form type from one search box.
When Tickdelta fits better
- You want to see what changed without reading both filings yourself: the new paragraph is already quoted, with last year's wording next to it.
- Every number should be one click from the sentence or table it came from on sec.gov.
- You want it free, or want to try it before deciding anything.
Tickdelta shows what changed in the filings, not whether to buy or sell. How to read a change, or see real examples.
