The Quartr alternative for filings infrastructure.

Quartr is the IR-content layer — earnings calls, transcripts, investor decks, AI summaries — across ~13,000 listed companies. FinancialReports is the regulatory-filings layer — every annual, quarterly, interim, ad-hoc, prospectus, and beneficial-ownership filing across 48 markets. Same delivery shape (API + webhooks + MCP), different content universe.

Different jobs. Different tools.

A few real workflows and where each tool shines.

06 · Migration

Most teams don't switch — they add.

Quartr and FinancialReports complement each other. Here's how to wire both in a week.

01 · Day 1

Split content by type

Earnings events → Quartr. Everything else regulatory (ad-hoc, prospectuses, ownership, insider, ESEF, RNS) → FinancialReports.

02 · Day 2–3

Wire both webhooks

Quartr document.report.created + FinancialReports filing.published. Same HMAC-signature shape.

03 · Day 4–7

Normalize into one schema

Map both event types into your unified Filing record. ISIN-key resolution recommended.

07 · FAQ

Questions that come up.

Does Quartr cover every regulatory filing or just earnings events?

Quartr primarily indexes IR events and filings for ~13,000 listed companies. FinancialReports covers the broader regulatory-filing universe across 48 markets — including ad-hoc disclosures, prospectuses, beneficial-ownership filings, and insider transactions.

Does Quartr deliver filings as Markdown?

Quartr's AI summaries on IR events are Markdown. Raw filings via the Quartr API are PDF. FinancialReports delivers every raw filing as AI-ready Markdown.

Does Quartr have an MCP server?

Yes — mcp.quartr.com, requires a Quartr Pro subscription. FinancialReports also operates an MCP server, free for any LLM client. Both vendors expose AI-pipeline-ready tooling — the differentiation is what the MCP serves, not that it exists.

Does Quartr have webhooks?

Yes — API v3 supports document.report.created, live.audio.updated, and event.created webhooks with HMAC signatures. FinancialReports webhooks fire on every new filing across 48 markets — a broader event taxonomy.

Can I get Quartr API pricing without talking to sales?

Quartr Pro and the Quartr API are sales-quoted as of May 2026 . FinancialReports offers $69/mo Pro and $499/mo Business with self-serve checkout.

Quartr owns the call. We cover the filing.

Different scopes, same delivery shape. Run both, or pick the one that matches your unit of work.
