QFI Terminal is the TipRanks alternative
TipRanks is the best thing in retail research at one job: it scores the people making the calls. Ninety-six thousand analysts, bloggers, insiders and fund managers, measured on what actually happened next. That is an asset nobody builds in a year, and it is why their coverage of estimates and expert activity is genuinely strong. QFI Terminal is a different shape: the options book, the derivatives market, the macro desk and the physical world sit alongside the research, and every price we publish can be paid by the month.

Pricing
We both have a free plan, and comparing two zeroes tells you nothing. Both ladders below are the monthly cost when billed annually — which for TipRanks is the only way to buy: their plans page prints a monthly price, and their checkout charges by the year.
The monthly price you cannot pay monthly
Premium is the plan TipRanks sells to individuals. Their page shows it as a price per month; the checkout is billed every year and there is no monthly option. Ours is the same number you would pay us month to month, and we take it either way.
TipRanksPremium
$29.95/moList price, billed annually at $359.40. There is no month-to-month plan; what they offer instead is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

QFI TerminalPlus
$22.50/moBilled annually, or $29.95 month to month. Global fundamentals, the screener, valuation, portfolio tracking, correlation, the world map and the macro desk.
The most either of us can charge you
Ultimate is their ceiling and Ultimate is ours, and the two are five dollars apart. What separates them is the table above: theirs buys more experts to follow, ours buys the options book, the derivatives market and the map.
TipRanksUltimate
$49.95/moList price, billed annually at $599.40. Unlimited alerts and experts, and a customisable expert ranking.
