Want something better than Google Finance? Here it is.

Google Finance is Google's free site for quotes, charts, and market news. Its help article describes news tailored to your watchlist, charting tools, an AI research panel, an Earnings tab with call audio and transcripts, portfolios, and scheduled market updates (as of October 2026). Brief Equity is the workspace for what comes after the quote. You track stocks on watchlists, read one feed for all of them, write your thesis in a notebook for each, build your own models, and follow the funds that hold them.

Brief Equity reads the market too: an overview dashboard, the earnings week for the whole market, and news, filing, insider, and analyst streams across every ticker. That view is wired to the tickers you track. The earnings week marks them, and a click opens one in the right rail beside your notes.

Google Finance's home page has tabs for indexes by region, currencies, crypto, and futures, a market summary, the day's most active stocks, gainers, and losers, and an earnings calendar that shows all stocks or the ones in your list (as of October 2026).

Brief Equity's feed carries news, press releases, earnings-call transcripts, SEC filings, insider trades, and analyst ratings for every ticker on your watchlists, with a tab per source. Select a passage in a transcript or press release and it saves into a note as a callout with a back-link to the exact spot. A block of cells from the financials saves as a table, and a chart or a model's valuation card saves as an image.

The notes sit in a research library with your own columns, stages, and tags, and a notebook for every stock. Your columns come in 7 types, any of 182 market metrics can sit beside them, you can filter by any column, and a board lays the stocks out in lanes by a field such as Stage or Conviction. A knowledge graph draws your watchlists, stocks, notes, and the funds you follow as one picture.

Google Finance keeps lists of symbols and portfolios. Its help article lists no notes, research library, or graph (as of October 2026).

Open a transcript in Brief Equity and it reads as a conversation: each speaker's remarks set apart, the Q&A grouped question by question, and a button that skips straight to it. Select any passage to save it to your notes. A filing, a press release, or an earnings transcript in the feed has a menu that opens ChatGPT or Claude on it, and a transcript can be copied as Markdown or downloaded as a file.

Google Finance puts earnings on each stock's Earnings tab: call audio with replays, transcripts with highlights, AI summaries, and official filings under Documents and forms (as of October 2026). In Brief Equity the same documents arrive in one feed for every ticker you track, so you read across your watchlists without opening each stock.

Brief Equity's models are a discounted cash flow and an EV/EBITDA model, driven by your own assumptions: Bear, Base, and Bull scenarios, sensitivity analysis, a Monte Carlo distribution over the inputs, peer comparables, an exit-multiple value on EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, or EV/EBIT, and versions you save and restore.

Google Finance has an AI research panel that answers questions and writes research reports on any topic. Its help article lists no valuation model builder (as of October 2026).

Quarterly 13F filings show who holds a stock and what each fund did last quarter. Open a fund for its portfolio, turnover, 1-year relative performance, and concentration, save the funds you follow into one dashboard, and see ownership filtered to the tickers on your watchlists.

On Google Finance, a stock's Holdings tab has two views, Insiders and Politicians. Its stock page and help article list no 13F data (as of October 2026).

Brief Equity covers US and international stocks on 60+ exchanges. Every stock page has four tabs: Overview, Charts, Financials, and Dividends. Financials hold the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, with 20 years of annual statements, 40 quarters, and a trailing-twelve-month column. Charts carry price with volume, moving averages, and Bollinger bands, plus panes for P/E, EV/EBITDA, and other multiples.

Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.

Google Finance's stock page has Overview, Analysis, Earnings, Financials, and Holdings tabs. Financials hold the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow by quarter or by year, and the chart draws as an area, line, candle, or bar with moving-average indicators (as of October 2026).

Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). The plan covers the work itself: the notebooks, the models, 13F ownership, the graph, and the feed.

Google Finance is free. Signing in with a Google Account adds custom lists and its full AI research features (as of October 2026).
