AlphaSense alternatives: 8 options for investors without an enterprise contract
AlphaSense is one of the most complete research platforms there is: broker research, filings, transcripts, a library of more than 300,000 expert call interviews and a growing set of AI tools. It is also sold on annual contracts through a sales team, which puts it out of reach for many individual investors and small funds. This list covers eight alternatives, depending on which part of AlphaSense you actually need. earnings.chat is our own product, which is why it comes first; every other entry is described from the vendor's own pages, linked under each one, and we say plainly where another tool is the better choice. Prices are public list prices in US dollars at the time of writing.
What you give up, and what you may not need
No single alternative replaces all of AlphaSense. Broker research and expert interviews in particular are licensed content that few other products carry, and Tegus, once the best-known independent source of expert call transcripts, is now part of AlphaSense itself.
Many people looking for an alternative, though, use AlphaSense for a narrower job: reading and searching earnings calls, or asking an AI about them. For that job the options are wider and considerably cheaper.

1. earnings.chat
earnings.chat covers the earnings call part of AlphaSense and nothing else, at a monthly price. It holds 252,000+ earnings calls from 12,000+ companies back to 2020, and you ask questions across them in plain language. Answers come with verbatim quotes labelled by company, date and speaker, figures come from database queries rather than from the model, and a gap in the evidence is reported as a gap.
Choose it if your AlphaSense use is mostly transcripts and you want to ask across many calls rather than read them one by one. Look elsewhere if you need broker research, expert calls or filings, which it does not carry. Plans start at $24.99 a month, with no annual contract.
2. Bloomberg Terminal
The Bloomberg Terminal is the one alternative at least as broad as AlphaSense: data, news, transcripts, and AI features including earnings call summaries that link each point to its transcript passage, and Document Insights, which answers questions about company documents with links to the source.
Choose it if you need market data and news as much as research. Look elsewhere if cost was the reason to leave AlphaSense: Bloomberg does not publish a price, and trade press has reported roughly $32,000 a year for a single Terminal on a two-year subscription.

3. Fiscal.ai
Fiscal.ai, formerly FinChat, is a self-serve AI research terminal. It pairs earnings call transcripts and recordings with AI summaries that cite the transcript, and adds segment and KPI data for 2,500+ companies.
Choose it if you want AI answers and fundamental data without talking to a sales team. Look elsewhere if you need unlimited call transcripts on a small plan, since access to events is capped below the top tier. New sign-ups get a seven-day free trial.
4. Quartr
Quartr focuses on first-party investor relations material: live calls with real-time transcription, past transcripts, slides and filings. Its AI chat answers from those documents and links every answer to the exact pages it used, and it is free in the mobile app.
Choose it if you want to follow calls live and check answers against the company's own documents. Look elsewhere if you need third-party research. Quartr Pro, which adds summaries, search and exports on desktop, is priced through sales.
5. Koyfin
Koyfin puts earnings call transcripts, AI transcript summaries and search across the whole transcript library inside a market data and charting platform, with email alerts when a new transcript is published.
Choose it if you want the calls next to prices, charts and financials in one self-serve tool. Look elsewhere if you need more than 45 days of transcripts for free. Paid plans with full history start at $39 a month.
6. Seeking Alpha
Seeking Alpha combines transcripts of about 4,500 company calls per earnings season with contributor analysis, news and quant ratings. Its Earnings Calls Insights are AI-generated news articles that summarise calls.
Choose it if you want transcripts plus a steady stream of analysis and news at a retail price. Look elsewhere if you need institutional research. Premium costs $299 a year; PRO, which includes the Ask SA AI assistant, costs $2,400 a year.
7. Aiera
Aiera is built for buy-side and sell-side firms that need live event coverage: real-time AI transcripts alongside human-reviewed ones, AI summaries of earnings calls and conference presentations, and APIs for bringing events into internal tools. It covers 15,000+ global equities.
Choose it if your team needs live event coverage wired into its own systems. Look elsewhere if you are an individual investor: pricing is on request, and the mobile app is for customers only.
8. Hebbia
Hebbia is an AI platform for analysing large sets of documents, aimed at investors, bankers and corporate finance teams. Its listed sources include SEC filings and earnings transcripts, along with content from providers such as FactSet, S&P Capital IQ and PitchBook.
Choose it if your firm wants AI to work through its own documents and licensed data at scale. Look elsewhere if you want something you can sign up for today: Hebbia is sold through demos and does not publish prices.
Picking the right one
Start from the part of AlphaSense you would miss. Broker research and expert calls are the hardest to replace, so if those are what you use, they may be the part worth keeping. For live calls and company documents, look at Quartr. For fundamentals with AI on top, Fiscal.ai or Koyfin.
And if what you mostly do is ask questions of earnings calls, across hundreds of companies, with every answer sourced to a quote, earnings.chat does that one job at a fraction of the price.
252,000+ earnings calls in the knowledge base, answers with verbatim quotes and sources, new calls within minutes.
