TickerTrust vs Koyfin

Koyfin is a research terminal. TickerTrust is a signal intelligence platform. People sometimes compare them because both help you decide what a stock is worth — but they answer different questions, and the honest answer is that most serious investors would be well served by knowing which question they’re actually asking.

What Koyfin is great at

Koyfin is built for people whose job is research. Deep historical financials, global coverage across equities, funds, fixed income and macro, an extremely deep screener, highly customizable charting and dashboards, and a mature workflow for advisors who produce client-facing reports. It runs on licensed institutional market data. If your work looks like building valuation models, tracking sovereign yield curves, or generating client proposals, Koyfin is excellent at that and we don’t attempt it.

What TickerTrust does that Koyfin doesn't

We start from a different question — not “what are this company’s financials?” but “what are insiders, Congress, and institutions actually doing, and what does it mean?” Congressional trades under the STOCK Act, Form 4 insider filings, 13F institutional positions and options flow are compressed into one 0–100 TrustScore across five pillars, then explained in plain English by TrustAI, our conversational copilot. You can set an alert on it, practice the trade in a $100,000 paper account, and backtest the idea — without leaving the platform. And your AI agent can query all of it directly through our MCP server and documented REST API. None of that exists in Koyfin at any tier.

Which one fits your job

Need a Bloomberg-style terminal — ten-year global financials, advisor reporting, deeply custom charting? Koyfin is the better tool, and it isn’t close. Need to know what insiders, Congress, and institutions are doing right now, scored and explained, testable before you commit real capital, and queryable by your AI agent? That’s our job, and a terminal doesn’t do it. Plenty of investors keep both; they cost less together than one Bloomberg seat.
