// compared
Most of these are not competitors.
People ask how Monsa compares to the tools they already pay for. Usually the honest answer is that it does not compare, because it is answering a different question - and that is worth writing down properly rather than implying otherwise.
The question Monsa answers
Monsa holds the rules you wrote down and checks your holdings against them every night.
Almost every tool below answers a different one: what is happening, what is it worth, what does the chart say, what did I pay. Those are good questions and Monsa answers none of them. The two lists are split on exactly that basis.
Tools that sit beside it
Research, data and charting. Nobody should drop these for Monsa, and Monsa does not try to be them.
Monsa vs Bloomberg Terminal
A terminal is where a professional finds out what is happening. Monsa is where you find out whether what you hold still matches what you said you wanted.
Monsa vs TradingView
TradingView is the best place to look at a chart. Monsa never draws one.
Monsa vs Godel Terminal
Godel brings terminal-style data to people who are not a bank. Monsa brings the discipline check that no terminal performs.
Monsa vs Koyfin
Koyfin is where you research. Monsa is where the conclusion you reached gets checked against reality later.
Monsa vs Finviz
Finviz finds candidates. Monsa watches the ones you actually bought.
Monsa vs Seeking Alpha
Seeking Alpha is other people's opinions and a lot of data. Monsa is your own criteria, applied without an opinion.
Tools that genuinely overlap
Here a comparison is fair, so each of these pages carries a table - including the rows where the other tool is the better answer.
Monsa vs Stock Rover
The closest thing to an overlap on this list, and still a different centre of gravity.
Monsa vs Simply Wall St
Both score companies. The difference is whose criteria are being used.
Monsa vs Sharesight
Sharesight is the record of what you own and what it cost. Monsa is the judgement about whether it still belongs.
Monsa vs Portfolio Visualizer
Portfolio Visualizer is about how a portfolio behaves. Monsa is about whether its contents match your rules.
Monsa vs Snowball Analytics
A portfolio tracker with dividends at its centre. Monsa has no opinion about dividends unless you write one.
Monsa vs a spreadsheet
The one most people are actually choosing between, and it gets further than it is given credit for.
Whatever else you run, the rules are the part that has to survive the month when the price says you were wrong.
