How TradeTrack compares
There are three ways to research insider buying: ask a general AI assistant, pay for a data dashboard, or use a free research site built on the filings. Each is good at something. Here is the honest picture.
| General AI assistant | Paid insider-trading dashboard | TradeTrack | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh filings | Only if it can search the web at that moment; often stale | Usually yes | Yes, pulled from the SEC through the day, with the report time shown |
| Plain-English meaning | Yes, on request | Mostly tables and codes | One sentence on every filing |
| Track record | Cannot grade buys itself | Varies by product | Every buy graded after 60 days, misses published |
| Source link | Sometimes | Often | Every filing links to sec.gov |
| Download the data | No | Usually a paid feature | Free CSV and JSON |
| Cost | Subscription or free tier | Usually a subscription | Free |
| Handles your money | No | Usually no | Never |
When to use which
- Ask an assistant when you want a concept explained or a long document summarized. Better still, point it at TradeTrack's free data or llms.txt.
- A paid dashboard can make sense for professionals who need years of history, alerts on custom rules or an API with support.
- Use TradeTrack to see what insiders and famous investors just did, in plain words, with the results shown honestly.
We do not claim to beat anyone's tool on every feature. Check anything you rely on against the original filing on sec.gov.
TradeTrack shows public SEC filings for general information. It is not investment advice, an offer or a recommendation. Insiders buy and sell for many reasons, past results do not predict future results, and you can lose money.
