Koyfin shows you the data. EquiLenz tells you what it means.
Let's be upfront: Koyfin is a fantastic research dashboard. Rated #1 by Kitces Research for advisor technology, it delivers beautiful charting, comprehensive data, and an intuitive interface at an accessible price point. Advisors love it, and for good reason.
But Koyfin is a data visualization platform. You search by ticker, pull up charts, compare metrics, and draw your own conclusions. The intelligence — the "so what does this mean for my clients?" — is left to you.
EquiLenz is an intelligence platform. It starts with your portfolios, analyzes filings and earnings calls with AI, tracks management credibility over time, and generates narrative reports your clients can actually read. It's not a replacement for Koyfin — it's the intelligence layer that turns Koyfin-style data into action.

Koyfin is the best-in-class data dashboard for advisors:
EquiLenz provides the intelligence layer on top of data:
Many advisors use Koyfin as their day-to-day data dashboard and EquiLenz as their intelligence engine. Koyfin answers "what are the numbers?" while EquiLenz answers "what do the numbers mean for my clients?"
The difference is the starting point. Koyfin starts with a ticker. EquiLenz starts with your portfolios. When a company files a 10-K with a material change, Koyfin shows you the updated data. EquiLenz tells you what changed, why it matters, which of your clients are affected, and drafts a report you can send them.
That's the gap between data and intelligence — and it's exactly where EquiLenz lives.
