What our research says

AlphaSense

If your team already pays for broker research and expert calls, AlphaSense is the search layer that makes that spend usable, and the citations are granular enough to check rather than trust. It is an enterprise contract with a sales cycle, not a tool you try on a card, and the generative features are only as good as the content sets your subscription unlocks.

Pros

One index over filings, broker research, transcripts and the Tegus expert-call library
Sentence-level citations on generative answers, so claims can be traced back to the document
Office integration through Excel and PowerPoint add-ins plus iOS and Android apps
Developer portal for pulling content and search into internal tools

Cons

No public pricing; annual contracts quoted by sales
Premium content such as broker research and expert calls depends on which packages and add-ons you buy
Enterprise rollout and training are part of the deal, which slows a small team down
Heavy consolidation of acquired products makes the feature set hard to map before a demo

Boba AI

Interesting because of its shape rather than its scale: it encodes actual strategy practice - signals, scenarios, Playing to Win - into prompted workflows, instead of being another chat box. It is also an experiment behind a waitlist, from a consultancy, with examples dated 2023, so plan around it at your peril.

Pros

Four connected modes - research, scenarios, strategy, storyboards - rather than one generic chat
Strategy generation uses the Playing to Win framework explicitly instead of freeform advice
Scenarios carry plausibility and probability judgements rather than just prose
Storyboarding turns an abstract scenario into illustrated scenes usable in a workshop

Cons

Waitlist-gated with no published price or availability commitment
Framed by its publisher as an experiment, not a supported product
On-page examples still reference 2023, suggesting little recent work
