ALFA Finder vs StockScans

ALFA Finder vs StockScans

Research scans, valuation calculators and AI concall-note summaries, from SOIC.

StockScans, from SOIC, focuses on discovery and research: financial statements, shareholding patterns and AI-generated summaries of what a company does; market-breadth views like the percentage of stocks at 52-week highs/lows; DCF, reverse-DCF and earnings-based valuation calculators; and its own watchlist alerts for scans, price moves and announcements.

Put simply: StockScans helps you find and value a company. ALFA Finder tells you the second that company files something with the exchange.

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:

AlertWhat 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

StockScans pricing isn't fully public — check stockscans.in for current plans.

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 StockScans?

Not necessarily — StockScans is built for a different job (research scans, valuation calculators and ai concall-note summaries, from soic). ALFA Finder is built for a different one: telling you the moment a company you hold files something, hits an all-time high, or moves enough to beat the market. Most StockScans users still need something watching the filings, which is what ALFA Finder does.

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 StockScans?

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 StockScans.

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.
