AnalystBook vs Hudson Labs
Hudson Labs is an AI equity-research platform built for institutional desks, from $100/month with a custom-priced Institutional tier. AnalystBook gives individual analysts the same primary-source rigor — a grounded Intelligence Brief, sector-calibrated forensic scores, and a research workspace — from $49/month, self-serve. Here's an honest look at where each one wins.

The difference
AnalystBook's Intelligence Brief reads the official filing and writes the analysis in plain language, grounded in the source. The numbers are computed, not generated, so the same filing always returns the same answer. And you can ask Ana, our in-app AI research analyst, anything about a company: she answers from AnalystBook's own structured, industry-aware data — the filings we organize for every U.S. public company — citing her sources and declining whatever she can't ground. Because we structure and own that data, she reasons over clean, comparable facts, not loose document text. Like any AI it can still make mistakes — which is exactly why her answers cite their sources for you to verify. Intelligence you can verify, not a chatbot you second-guess.

Which one is right for you
You run an institutional equity-research desk that needs earnings-call transcripts, investor decks and consensus estimates alongside filings, market-wide AI screening, and scheduled research agents across a team — and per-seat institutional pricing fits your budget.
You research companies one at a time and want a grounded Intelligence Brief, sector-calibrated forensic scores, and Ana — an AI analyst that won't answer beyond the filing — from $49/month, self-serve, no per-seat contract.
FAQ
For individual, company-by-company research, yes. Hudson Labs is built for institutional equity-research desks from $100/month; AnalystBook is self-serve from $49/month and adds sector-calibrated forensic scoring and Ana, an AI analyst that won't answer beyond the filing. Hudson Labs is the better fit if your team needs earnings-call transcripts, consensus estimates, market-wide AI screening, or scheduled research agents.
Ana is AnalystBook's in-app AI research analyst. Ask her anything about a company and she answers only from AnalystBook's own structured data — the official filings we organize and index, industry-aware, for every U.S. public company — citing her sources. She doesn't use the open web or outside knowledge and gives no buy, sell, or hold verdicts, and she's designed to decline whatever she can't ground. Because we own and structure that data, Ana reasons over clean, comparable facts, not loose document text. Like any AI she isn't infallible, so her answers cite their sources for you to verify. For research only; not investment advice.
AnalystBook Core is $49/month (or $490/year) and Pro is $109/month (or $1,090/year), with a 14-day free trial, self-serve and cancel-anytime, plus Enterprise plans for teams. Hudson Labs' Core plan is $100/month billed annually ($120 month-to-month) with a 25-queries-per-day cap, and its Institutional tier — forensic risk scores, unlimited automations, team features — is custom-priced.
Both. Beyond the dossier and the Intelligence Brief, AnalystBook is a research workspace: follow the companies you cover, keep notes pinned to the filing, track open theses and to-dos, and get quarterly review reminders. Your work persists per company, so you pick up where you left off months later.
