Where to find earnings call transcripts: 9 free and paid sources compared

What to compare

• Coverage: how many companies and markets, and whether small caps and non-US companies are included.
• Speed: how soon after the call the transcript appears.
• History: whether you can read last year's call, or ten years of them, on the plan you have.
• What comes after reading: whether you can search across calls, get a summary, or ask questions.
• Price: what the history and features you actually need cost.

At a glance

1. earnings.chat

earnings.chat holds 252,000+ earnings calls from 12,000+ companies across roughly 70 countries, reaching back to 2020, and adds new calls within minutes of publication. You can open and read any call in full, but the point is what comes after reading: asking a question of one call or thousands, and getting an answer with verbatim quotes labelled by company, date and speaker.

Best for: readers who want answers from transcripts rather than a stack of them. It is not a free transcript site: there is a recorded demo, and plans start at $24.99 a month. It does not stream calls live.

2. Seeking Alpha

Seeking Alpha publishes transcripts for about 4,500 company calls every quarterly earnings season and aims to have a one-hour call online about six hours after it ends. Transcripts can be searched by keyword, and the site also runs Earnings Calls Insights, AI-generated news articles that summarise calls.

Best for: investors who also want Seeking Alpha's articles and ratings. Transcripts for any stock come with Premium at $299 a year, and the site notes that transcripts may occasionally contain errors or omissions.

3. The Motley Fool

The Motley Fool publishes transcripts of calls from the companies it covers, free and without a paywall. Each one is topped with a short takeaways summary, which the page discloses was partly created with large language models.

Best for: reading a recent call from a well-known company at no cost. Coverage follows the companies the Fool covers rather than the whole market, and publication can take anything from the same day to several days after the call.

Which source to use

For a single recent call, a free source is usually enough: The Motley Fool, MarketBeat or Stock Analysis will often have it. To follow calls live, use Quartr. For years of history on the companies you hold, look at TIKR or Koyfin.

And when the question is not what one company said but what many companies said, reading transcripts one at a time stops scaling. That is the point where asking the calls directly, with every answer tied to its quote, saves the most time.
