AlphaSense — which now includes Sentieo (acquired 2022) and Tegus (acquired 2024) — is an enterprise market-intelligence platform with semantic search across filings, broker research, and expert-call transcripts. FinancialReports is the filings layer underneath — every regulatory document across 48 markets, in AI-ready Markdown, with webhooks and a free MCP server.
AlphaSense is the research desk's AI search engine. FinancialReports is the filings backend your code reads. Different layers of the same stack.
Every annual, quarterly, interim, and ad-hoc filing — indexed, parsed, normalized to Markdown. Free for the web, paid for the API and bulk delivery.
Generative Search across filings, broker research, and the Tegus expert-call library. 7,000+ enterprises. The institutional research desk's AI search layer.
A non-exhaustive grid of what each tool does and how well. Where the lines blur, we say so.
Concrete numbers, sourced from each vendor's public materials and third-party data vendors.
Median time from regulator publication to a queryable record. AlphaSense optimizes for research-time, not real-time delivery .
Measured against 13,400 filings across DE · FR · UK · NL · SE · US, Jan–Apr 2026. Time = regulator publication → API availability. Webhooks fire < 90 s for paid clients.
A few real workflows and where each tool shines. There's no single answer — many firms run both.
Generative Search across filings, broker research, and Tegus expert calls is best-in-class for an analyst UI.
Webhooks, AI-ready Markdown, public MCP server, self-serve API key — the AI-pipeline shape AlphaSense doesn't expose.
AlphaSense for the research layer; FinancialReports underneath for the data pipeline. Different layers, no conflict.
AlphaSense stays for the research desk. FinancialReports takes the AI-era data backend. Here's how to do it in a week.
Senior analysts stay on AlphaSense; identify the team running data pipelines, dashboards, or RAG that needs raw filings.
Point the filing.published webhook at your data backend. Markdown lands within 60 s.
Data engineers build RAG, dashboards, and agents on FinancialReports. Senior analysts continue Generative Search in AlphaSense.
Not self-serve. AlphaSense ships a GraphQL Search API and an MCP Agent API, but both are enterprise-gated — you talk to an account manager to get access. FinancialReports issues an API key on signup, no sales conversation required.
AlphaSense doesn't publish pricing. Third-party data puts list seats around $10,000–$20,000/yr, with SMB contracts averaging ~$45,000 and enterprise contracts averaging ~$125,000 (Tegus expert-call access pushes higher tiers).
No. AlphaSense closed the $930M Tegus acquisition on July 8, 2024. The 260,000+ expert-call library now lives inside the AlphaSense platform. Sentieo was acquired in May 2022 and is fully consolidated.
Not natively. Filings are delivered as PDFs with sentence-level citation overlay in the UI. FinancialReports delivers every filing as AI-ready Markdown — ready for grounding without parsing.
Not from AlphaSense — its model is search-first, with emailed briefs and in-UI alerts. FinancialReports webhooks fire within 90 seconds on every new filing across 48 markets.
