Want something better than TIKR? Here it is.

TIKR and Brief Equity are both built for fundamental research on stocks. Brief Equity puts the work itself at the centre: one feed for everything you track, a research library with a notebook for every stock, your own valuation models, and 13F ownership, in one workspace. TIKR is a data terminal: its pages describe global financial data from S&P Global CapitalIQ, a screener, and a watchlist feed (as of October 2026).

The difference shows the moment you find something worth keeping. In Brief Equity it goes into a note, beside the model and the ownership picture for the same stock.

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.

TIKR builds its feed for one active watchlist at a time: upcoming events, news, filings, and transcripts. Its plan table and help centre list no notes, research library, or graph (as of October 2026).

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.

TIKR's Valuation Model Builder has a free Guided Model and a paid Advanced Model. Its help page says both use a P/E-based valuation method for now, with more methods planned (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.

Quarterly 13F filings show who holds a stock and what each fund owns, with ownership filtered to the tickers on your watchlists. Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.

Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). TIKR has four plans: Free, which covers US stocks, then Plus at $24.95, Pro at $54.95, and Ultimate at $119.95 a month on monthly billing, or $17.95, $37.95, and $79.95 a month billed annually. Its pricing table sets financial history, analyst estimates, transcript history, and fund coverage by plan (as of October 2026).
