AlphaSense sells search over filings, transcripts, broker research, and Tegus. The filing and transcript search is the slice we take. Broker research and the expert library stay theirs.
The row stays slice. Filing and transcript search is live, and deeper at the clause level than a document index. Broker research and the Tegus expert library stay theirs. No seat price is printed. Document count is 500 million-plus on every page that states it. Broker counts, Canalyst model counts, and standardized-company counts disagree, and each figure is left as printed.

| What an analyst opens | AlphaSense is an AI market-intelligence platform: search, generative search, company profiles, screeners, Canalyst models, and Excel and PowerPoint add-ins. Two packages: Market Intelligence, and Enterprise Intelligence for internal content. Add-ons are expert calls and Canalyst models. Content is sold as a library: filings, earnings and event transcripts, broker research, Tegus expert transcripts, news, and structured financials. Tegus joined in July 2024. sentieo.com did not resolve. The AlphaSense page on Sentieo still says Sentieo is now a part of AlphaSense and still names Sentieo's Table Explorer. | Filing and transcript search is live, and deeper at the clause level than a document index. Their library around that search is the slice. | Match |
| The seat | No seat price is printed. Annual subscriptions run from enterprise packages to per-seat options, and the page says reach out for a quote. The Excel data and models add-in has no additional cost inside a current subscription. The expert-call add-on claims savings of up to 70 percent versus traditional expert networks, with no list price. | Filing search can be priced as a seat. Broker research and the expert library are the add-on that stays theirs. | Partial |

| Documents | 500 million-plus documents is the figure on the homepage, the pricing FAQ, the content page, and the Sentieo page. Broker research disagrees: the pricing table says 1,000-plus sell-side and independent firms, the content page says 1,500 broker partners, a help article says over 1,500 research providers, and the Tegus compare page says more than 1,700 broker sources. Expert transcripts are 300,000-plus. The expert-call add-on also says one million pre-qualified experts, which is the network, not the transcript library. | Sections are 17,871,301 across eight form families, 2016 through 2026. Clauses are about 30.8 million. Calls are 264,816 pointers as of 2026-10-14. Their document count and our section count are different objects. Their broker counts are left as printed. | Ahead |
| Canalyst and standardized financials | Canalyst models disagree: the content page says 4,000-plus, the financial-data page says 4,200-plus, the Tegus compare page says 4,500-plus, and Excel help says about 4,100 companies with the full model set. Standardized public financials are 18,000-plus on the financial-data page, 19,000-plus on the Tegus compare page, and about 27,000 in Excel help. Company-level consensus in that help is about 8,000. The financial-data help, index byline 5 August 2026, says numbers are extracted from filings or licensed from unnamed third parties, and lists as-reported historicals, segment financials, consensus, and market data. It does not name S&P, FactSet, Reuters, or I/B/E/S. | As-reported financials are the filing, about 473,000 face-statement filing-rows. A Canalyst model built from broker workpapers stays theirs. Two help articles redirected to a login, so older lines naming Reuters, I/B/E/S, Visible Alpha, and Morningstar were not confirmed and are left off. | Partial |

| Broker research and Tegus | Broker names on the live help page include Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, Cowen, Deutsche Bank, Evercore ISI, HSBC, and others. The Tegus compare page adds Goldman Sachs and Citi. Tegus is the named expert-transcript source. The Excel transition page still tells users the Tegus formulas add-in will be retired on 30 September 2026, a date already past as of these notes. | Broker research and the Tegus expert library stay theirs. An expert-call network is not a transcript we hold. | Gap |
| Deals in the library | The Tegus compare page says nearly 1 million M&A deals and 750,000 private funding rounds. The content page says over 1.4 million private companies. Customer claims, not independently checked, include 8,000-plus enterprises, 92 percent of the S&P 100 on the pricing FAQ, and 85 percent of the S&P 500 on the content page. | Parsed funding is 357,023 deals on 135,173 companies, recounted 2026-10-09. Mergers are 175,614. Their deal lines and our cuts are different objects. | Match |
Ahead The feature is data we already hold, in a form an investor can use.
Match Both products do this.
Partial We hold the filing or the extract, and not their finished screen.
Gap They ship it. We do not.
Beside Broker research and the Tegus expert library stay theirs. A consensus number licensed from an unnamed third party stays a license. Canalyst models stay theirs.
