TickerWorth vs AlphaSpread
What each costs, what each gives away, and where AlphaSpread wins. Figures read from their own pages on 4 Sep 2026.
A valuation-first research site that publishes an intrinsic value, a relative value and a Wall Street target side by side, with a valuation backtest.
The short answer: AlphaSpread and TickerWorth are not the same product. Far wider coverage — 100,000 listings against our ~1,500.

What the free tier actually gives you
TickerWorth
- Every company we already cover, free and unmetered — its valuation, every assumption with the filing it came from, and the score
- Live valuations of a ticker we haven't modelled yet: 1 a day signed out, 5 a day with a free account
- The reverse DCF — the growth today's price already implies — wherever a cash-flow model fits the business
- The screener with every filter, showing the first 10 matches and the true total
- A watchlist, and a portfolio of up to 10 holdings
- One company — Apple — completely un-gated, forever: every Pro panel, no account
AlphaSpread
- 3 stock reports a week
- 3 AI assistant prompts a week
- 1 watchlist, 30 stocks
- No screener, no backtest, no alerts
How each one arrives at a value
TickerWorth
We first decide what kind of business it is and name the model that suits it, then run every model we can — a discounted cash flow, residual income on book value, a dividend discount and peer multiples — and blend them with published weights that favour the suitable one. Every assumption is printed with its source — the base year cites the SEC filing accession number it was read from, house assumptions are labelled as ours rather than as market data — and Pro lets you edit the model, discount rate included, and re-run the engine. Banks and insurers get no DCF; they are valued with a bank model — justified price-to-book, from the return on equity against the cost of equity. Rate-regulated utilities get no DCF fair value: their page shows book value, earnings and dividend yield instead. REITs get no fair value and no call: their multiples, book value and yield are shown as context.
AlphaSpread
DCF and relative valuation presented together with an analyst target, plus a backtest of how their own valuation would have read historically. The closest competitor to us in intent: they also lead with intrinsic value rather than with a score.
Where AlphaSpread is the better buy
Written by us, about a competitor, on our own site — so read it with that in mind. It is here because the alternative is a table we win every row of, which is an advert.
- Far wider coverage — 100,000 listings against our ~1,500.
- The valuation backtest has no equivalent here. Showing how a fair-value estimate would have read at past dates is a genuinely good idea and we do not have it.
- An AI assistant on every plan. We have no equivalent shipped.
Where the two differ
- Their free tier is metered weekly (3 reports). Ours leaves every company we already cover unmetered and caps only live valuations of new tickers — 1 a day signed out, 5 with a free account — plus one permanently open company.
- Price. Their Premium is $144 a year ($12 a month, billed annually); our Pro is $99 / year or $14.99 / month.
- Both of us publish a DCF. Ours shows every assumption with the filing accession number it came from, and Pro lets you edit the model, discount rate included; theirs is presented as a result.
- They meter the AI prompts. We have no AI in the valuation path at all — every number on a TickerWorth page comes from the engine, not a model writing prose.
AlphaSpread additionally claims: More than 356,100 value investors. That is their figure, not one we audited.
Try it before you decide
The fastest way to judge this is to read one: our full Apple valuation is open permanently — every assumption with the SEC filing it came from, the reverse-DCF and the sensitivity band, no account and no payment. Then open the same company on AlphaSpread and compare what each one shows its work for.
