Pros
  • Hand-curated segment and KPI data on ~2,000 companies you can't easily get elsewhere
  • AI copilot grounded in S&P Market Intelligence with citations to source filings
  • Natural-language stock screener and earnings-transcript Q&A
  • Free tier is genuinely usable; official ChatGPT/Codex app since mid-2026
  • Enterprise API and white-label copilot for embedding in your own workflow
  • Focused on retrieval (not general agent stuff)
  • Many ingestion connectors
  • Strong production patterns
  • LlamaCloud for managed ingestion
Cons
  • Coverage is public equities only - no fixed income, options, or private markets
  • Pro tier needed to unlock most of the AI copilot's depth
  • Closed source and you're locked to their data pipeline
  • Rebrand to Fiscal.ai still in progress - branding/URLs are inconsistent
  • API surface is large
  • Documentation can be hard to navigate
