ALFA Finder vs ScoutQuest
AI stock analyst on WhatsApp, sourced from news, social media and research reports.
ScoutQuest (Mumbai, launched 2018) positions itself as a personal AI stock analyst: it pulls from corporate announcements, news articles, social-media posts and research reports, uses AI to judge what's relevant to your tracked stocks, and delivers the resulting insight on WhatsApp.
Both are AI-filtered WhatsApp alert services — the difference is source scope: ScoutQuest reads broadly across the internet, ALFA Finder reads the exchange filing directly.
How the two actually differ
ALFA Finder's alerts are built specifically from the NSE/BSE exchange filing feed — classified into 40+ disclosure types with an AI summary — rather than aggregated from news and social sources, and delivery speed is measured and published, not just claimed.
Beyond filings — what else ALFA Finder tracks
A corporate filing is only one kind of alert. ALFA Finder also watches price and volume behaviour directly, which none of the tools compared on this page publish as a feature:
| Alert | What triggers it |
|---|---|
| ALFA Alert | A stock's intraday move beats the Nifty benchmark by 10% or more — sent independent of your personal watchlist, so you don't miss a mover you weren't already tracking. |
| All-time-high price breakout | A stock crosses a price record that has held for at least two years, with the size of the breakout and how long the old record stood. |
| All-time-high volume breakout | A stock's combined NSE+BSE daily volume sets a new record — often the earliest sign something is changing, before the price catches up. |
| Post-alert performance follow-up | A stock ALFA Finder alerted on gains 10%+ within 2 trading days or 20%+ within a week — so you see which alerts actually mattered, not just the alert itself. |
Every alert carries a live company snapshot
Whatever triggered it, an ALFA Finder alert isn't a bare headline. It arrives with Market Cap, Stock P/E against Industry P/E, live price with % move from open, Change over Week/Month/Quarter, Volume Average, and Day RSI with a plain-English band (Overbought, Upward Trending, Downward Trending, Good to Buy) — plus a direct link to the original exchange filing. Every field is documented on the glossary page.
Financial Results and Earnings Call alerts go further than a notification
A Financial Result alert carries a three-period side-by-side table (Total Income, Other Income, Net Profit, Exceptional Income, Profit Before Tax, OPM%), sequential and year-on-year net profit growth, and an Adj. Profit growth figure measured on profit before exceptional items and tax less other income, so a company isn't credited with "growth" that was really a one-time gain or a lower tax rate.
An Earnings Call alert carries the ALFA Reason (the one sentence that made the call alert-worthy), an AI-generated summary of growth drivers, risks and forward guidance, and a 14-point management-commentary checklist — Revenue Growth, Management Confidence, Demand Visibility, Order Book, Margin Trends, Operating Leverage, Pricing Power, Volume vs Price, Segment Growth, New Clients, Capex & Debt, Regulatory, Commentary, New Launches — built from only what management actually addressed on the call, not padded to look complete. A QoQ Comparison link checks the current call against what management promised on the previous one, so you can see what was delivered and what wasn't.
Pricing
ScoutQuest is subscription-based; current pricing isn't published on its site at the time of writing.
ALFA Finder runs a low-cost trial followed by tiered plans — ALFA (market-wide outperformance alerts, no personal watchlist needed) up to ALPHA PRO MAX (a watchlist covering effectively every listed stock, Telegram delivery, highest alert priority). Higher tiers also unlock bulk watchlist import by CSV and a referral program that pays out real cash via UPI or bank transfer, not just credit. Current pricing and full tier detail is on the plans page.
What ALFA Finder actually sends
Announcements are classified by type before they reach you, so you can follow only the categories you care about rather than the full exchange firehose:
On speed
Announcement alerts are only useful if they arrive before the move. See our measured delivery speed.
Delivery
Alerts arrive on WhatsApp and Telegram (Telegram on higher plans) rather than in a dashboard you have to remember to open — ALFA-tier alerts also go out by email automatically. Getting started doesn't mean adding stocks one at a time either: watchlists can be bulk-imported from a CSV or a pasted symbol list. Every field in an alert is documented, so nothing in a message is unexplained.
Frequently asked questions
Does ALFA Finder replace ScoutQuest?
Not exactly — both alert on NSE/BSE filings. The differences are coverage beyond filings (ALFA Finder also tracks all-time-high breakouts and market-beating moves), delivery channels, and whether delivery speed is measured and published.
Is ALFA Finder free?
ALFA Finder runs on paid plans with a low-cost trial — there is no permanently free tier for personalised watchlist alerts. This comparison page and the public filing archive at alfafinder.com/market/ are free to browse without a subscription.
How fast are ALFA Finder's alerts compared to ScoutQuest?
ALFA Finder measures and publishes its delivery speed continuously from its own production pipeline — see the alert speed page. That figure isn't published by ScoutQuest.
Does ALFA Finder alert on more than just corporate filings?
Yes. Beyond NSE/BSE filings, ALFA Finder also tracks all-time-high price and volume breakouts, alerts when a stock's move beats the Nifty benchmark by 10% or more, and sends a follow-up if a stock it alerted on later gains 10-20%+, so you can see which alerts actually mattered.
Get these filings the moment they are published
This page is rebuilt hourly. ALFA Finder members get the same filings pushed to Telegram and WhatsApp within seconds of the exchange publishing them, filtered to the stocks they actually hold.
