Our Read
Which One Should You Use?
AltIndex and InsiderWatch both grade things, which makes the comparison worth reading carefully. AltIndex grades stocks with a score built from alternative data and publishes headline win rates for its picks. InsiderWatch grades events: a specific filing or government action gets a direction, an impact level and a reason, and every sent call is published with its outcome so you can check the rate yourself. If you want alt-data scores, AltIndex is built for that. If you want to know what just happened and which way it points, with a record you can audit, that is us.
