AnalystBook vs AlphaSense
A grounded AI for company research.
Without the enterprise contract.
AlphaSense is an enterprise market-intelligence platform priced for institutions. AnalystBook gives individual analysts an AI Intelligence brief grounded in the official filings, sector-calibrated forensic scores, and a research workspace that remembers your thesis, from $69/month. Here's an honest look at where each one wins.

The difference
AI Intelligence you can verify.
AnalystBook's Intelligence brief reads the official filing and writes the analysis in plain language, grounded in the source. The numbers are computed, not generated, so the same filing always returns the same answer, and every claim links to the paragraph it came from. And you can ask Ana, our in-app AI research analyst, anything about a company: she answers from AnalystBook's own structured, industry-aware data — the source-linked filings we normalize for every public company — citing every claim and declining whatever she can't ground. Because we structure and own that data, she reasons over clean, comparable facts, not loose document text. Like any AI it can still make mistakes — which is exactly why every claim links back to the source for you to verify. Intelligence you can verify, not a chatbot you second-guess.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is AnalystBook a real AlphaSense alternative?
For fundamental, filing-driven research, yes. AnalystBook covers U.S. and international public companies, writes a source-grounded AI Intelligence brief on each, and adds sector-calibrated forensic scoring AlphaSense doesn't offer, for $69/month. It does not replace AlphaSense's broker research or expert-call network, so it's the better fit for analysts doing official primary-source company work rather than institutions that need a premium content library.
What is Ana, AnalystBook's AI analyst?
Ana is AnalystBook's in-app AI research analyst. Ask her anything about a company and she answers only from AnalystBook's own structured data — the official filings we normalize and index, industry-aware, for every public company — citing every claim. She doesn't use the open web or outside knowledge and gives no buy, sell, or hold verdicts, and she's designed to decline whatever she can't ground. Because we own and structure that data, Ana reasons over clean, comparable facts, not loose document text. Like any AI she isn't infallible, so every claim links back to the filing for you to verify. For research only; not investment advice.
How is AnalystBook so much cheaper than AlphaSense?
AnalystBook is built on official primary-source filings only — no third-party data feeds, broker research, or expert-call network to license. That keeps it at $69/month with a 14-day free trial and no sales contract (Enterprise plans are available for teams), versus AlphaSense's enterprise, quote-based pricing.
Is AnalystBook just for reading filings, or does it organize my research too?
Both. Beyond the dossier and the AI Intelligence brief, AnalystBook is a research workspace: follow the companies you cover, keep notes pinned to the filing, track open theses and to-dos, and get quarterly review reminders. Your work persists per company, so you pick up where you left off months later — something a search-and-summarize tool doesn't do.
Does AnalystBook have broker research and expert calls like AlphaSense?
No, and it doesn't try to. AnalystBook works only from companies' own official filings. If your research depends on sell-side broker research or expert-network transcripts, AlphaSense is the better tool. If it depends on reading the source itself, clearly and verifiably, AnalystBook is built for that.
