Honest comparison
We focus on seven data domains — filings through calendar. We do not invent competitor logos, quotes, or “#1” rankings. Use this page to decide whether FinUties replaces your parser tax — not whether we are Bloomberg.
Scope matrix
| Dimension | FinUties | DIY / in-house | Broad catalog vendors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claim surface | Seven data domains — we say how recent each should be | Whatever you scraped last sprint | Hundreds of endpoints; freshness often unclear |
| Agent access | One MCP JSON-RPC URL + same REST resources | Custom tools per source | Varies; often REST-only or separate products |
| Ownership DQ | Amendment supersession, option leg, CUSIP fields documented | You own amendment edge cases | Vendor-specific; may collapse option legs |
| Calendar shape | Consensus / previous / actual / importance | Scrape + normalize yourself | Often present; may be a separate SKU |
| Macro vintage | release_date / revision awareness when mirrored | Point-in-time tables are hard | Enterprise vintages usually premium |
| CFTC positioning | Core P0 (not an add-on) | Weekly COT parsers | Frequently add-on or delayed |
| Cost controls for agents | Token headers + daily spend caps | You invent quotas | Seat/plan limits; rarely per-tool burn headers |
| What we do not claim | Conflict/climate/maritime as commercial SLO; live trading advice | Whatever marketing says | Often marketed as “everything” |
Proof
Customer logos and quotes appear only from the proof inventory after written permission. Empty cells mean we will not fabricate social proof.
