A modern Seeking Alpha alternative
Seeking Alpha is built around analyst commentary — long-form articles, opinion pieces, and contributor takes. It's a useful read. What it isn't is an alerting tool. Tickerbot covers the alerting half of the workflow with data-driven, multi-condition notifications you can build in plain English.

Where Tickerbot wins
Data, not opinion
Seeking Alpha is built around contributor articles. The quality varies widely, and the signal is usually opinion-driven. Tickerbot is the inverse — it surfaces conditions in the underlying data, with no commentary attached. You decide what to do with the signal.
Custom queries, not pre-built ratings
Seeking Alpha's quant ratings are useful but pre-built — you take what they offer. Tickerbot lets you build any condition you can describe in English, scoped to any universe of stocks.
