You are charging way too much and offering too little. $29/month to track 15 companies, $89 to track 50, and "Contact sales" for unlimited. The "AI Analysis" you have is too brief and doesn't tell me anything useful as an investor.
As someone who was a paid customer of Quartr: they do not offer the ability to look or search actual filings at the $20/month plan. Full text search starts from $500/month, and is an annual contract (so $6,000/month.)
Pricing for these services is not cheap, given it can be very helpful for professional traders.
(I’m no professional trader, and not even a trader. I just sometimes want to search for interesting things in transcripts, when I research a topic. I would pay for a decent service offering full text search for transcript search, to use it a few times per month (or perhaps even less frequently). Still not found a product that does it at a sensible price point for my use case - likely because my use case is not worth building a business on.)
Not at all, I’m inclined to agree with the commenter. If you work in the industry you can immediately pick up a few problems.
1) SEC filings are largely useless. For earnings, funds typically look at the press release that companies put out. 10-Qs and Ks are sometimes released days or weeks after earnings are already out. You could potentially trade on filings that disclose insider share transactions but these are largely noise.
2) Setting all that aside, who exactly is buying this? Citadel/P72/all the other institutional investors have entire teams of data scientists. I’d be surprised if they didn’t have similar tools already with better functionality. Maybe this picks up steam with the retail crowd, but I doubt any average investor is going to have a trading system that can take advantage of this.
There’s just limited practicality and an even more limited customer base. Even if this were free, Im not sure I would have much use for it
Not only that, he was also better than Gates at math. From the acquired podcast episode on Microsoft:
> Ben: He's gregarious. Anyone who's ever met Steve or seen a video of Steve, you are well aware that this man has a presence. But the thing that people don't know about him is he is so unbelievably analytical. Steve is the guy that outscored Bill Gates on the Putnam exam.
I would actually be less worried. The support at paddle is much better than what I've seen from both stripe and LS. LS had decent support a year ago, but has really dropped off. Moving to stripe makes me excited about their product, but more worried about the support.
I looked at paddle initially, but was not too happy with their chat support. The content of the support was great but the response time was about 1 day, which made it difficult for a chat type conversation. In retrospect, I could've tried writing longer messages.
So I was looking for an alternative and found LemonSqueezy. One of the founders actually helped me onboard, which I was very grateful for. At the beginning the support was great, but it has degraded a lot since. If you go to their slack, you would notice many people complaining about issues being unattended to for weeks and months. I've had first hand experience with this too. I suggest you go to their slack and check out the state for yourself.
In contrast, paddle's response time was better and higher quality too. I'm strongly considering switching to paddle at this point.
I had been happy with Apple for many years but encountered some really terrible experiences lately. There was a systematic problem on Apple’s side (related to the recent increase in iCloud subscription fees) and they cancelled my extra iCloud storage. To be fair they did give me a refund for the extra storage prior but I thought it was related to the pricing changes and didn’t think much of it. Other than that there were no warnings until the extra storage expired and they sent me an email saying the storage is full. I resubscribed immediately but iCloud mail could not send or receive anything for several hours afterwards, except for receiving emails from Apple.
I also have had several instances where iCloud Drive would take forever to sync. The most recent time got so bad (100% cpu usage that persists after killing the process when I added 5KB worth of files) that I stopped using it completely. Tried Microsoft OneDrive instead and it synced at good speeds and gave me no problems.
This looks so good! I missed your original post and wanted to add some comments here.
Saw that your screener filtering is instant. Do you have everything loaded to the client side? If you want some feedback, I think the filter slider for the active rule could use a bit of a redesign. The magenta color is too vibrant for me and the actual bar itself is barely visible (could use more contrast against page background).
For data providers, have you looked at EODHD? They are a bit more expensive compared to FMP but the data is a lot higher quality from what I've seen and they have 24/7 live chat support. I don't know if it would fit your budget but could be worth to ask their support. Disclaimer: I build something similar in this space and I'm currently trying to migrate from FMP to EODHD.
Always fun to see others build tools like this. Would love to chat more on discord if you are up for it. Just followed you on twitter so we could go from there. glhf
