A modern Benzinga Pro alternative
Benzinga Pro is built for news and squawk-box style alerts. Tickerbot is built for stacked-condition alerts you describe in plain English — and Benzinga's analyst ratings are built in. For most retail traders, Tickerbot covers what you actually use Benzinga for.

Where Tickerbot wins
Benzinga's data without Benzinga's price
Tickerbot ingests Benzinga's analyst rating feed directly — consensus ratings, individual upgrades, price targets, the works. You get the data that powers Benzinga Pro's ratings tab, embedded into alerts you write yourself, at a fraction of the price.
Stacked alerts, not just news
Benzinga Pro is great if you want every news headline as it happens. Tickerbot is great if you want to be told only when news + price + volume + ratings line up. Two different jobs. Most retail traders want the second.
