Best DataRoma Alternatives

WhaleWisdom is the most direct DataRoma alternative. It aggregates 13F filings from the SEC and lets you track hedge fund portfolios, see position changes quarter-over-quarter, and discover what top fund managers are buying and selling. The interface is more modern than DataRoma and includes heatmaps, fund comparisons, and a proprietary WhaleScore ranking system.

GuruFocus combines superinvestor portfolio tracking with deep fundamental analysis tools. Beyond showing what gurus are buying, it provides valuation models (DCF, Graham Number, Peter Lynch value), financial strength scores, and a proprietary predictability rank. It's one of the few platforms that bridges the gap between portfolio tracking and stock research.

Fintel focuses on institutional ownership data and goes deeper than most alternatives. It tracks 13F filings, 13D/G activist positions, short interest data, insider transactions, and options flow — all in one platform. If you want to understand not just what funds are buying but also the short-selling and activist angles, Fintel is the most complete institutional data source.

Insider Monkey blends 13F data with editorial analysis. Beyond raw portfolio data, their team writes detailed articles about why specific hedge funds are buying or selling certain stocks. This editorial layer adds context that pure data platforms like DataRoma lack. They also track insider buying and publish quarterly hedge fund sentiment reports.

Holdings Channel is a straightforward, no-frills 13F tracker that's closest to DataRoma in philosophy — simple, clean, and focused on the data. You can look up any institutional filer, see their current holdings, and track changes over time. It also has a useful 'billionaire portfolios' section that highlights the most-watched investors.

TipRanks approaches institutional tracking from the analyst and insider side. Their hedge fund tracking tool shows top fund managers' portfolios alongside analyst ratings, insider transactions, and a Smart Score that aggregates multiple signals. It's particularly good if you want to cross-reference what funds are buying with what analysts are recommending.

Every 13F-based platform, including DataRoma, ultimately pulls data from SEC EDGAR. Going directly to the source gives you the most up-to-date filings — often days before aggregator sites process them. The interface is not user-friendly, but for investors who want raw, unfiltered data as soon as it's filed, EDGAR is unmatched.

Simply Wall St takes a visual-first approach to stock analysis with its signature 'snowflake' chart. While it's not a direct 13F tracker, its ownership breakdown section shows institutional holders, insider ownership percentages, and recent ownership changes. It's best for investors who want a quick visual overview of who owns a stock rather than deep-dive fund analysis.

Barchart is primarily known as a market data platform, but its institutional ownership section is surprisingly detailed. You can look up any stock and see which funds hold it, recent changes in institutional ownership, and aggregate buying/selling trends. It's a solid supplement for investors already using Barchart for market data.

Quiver Quantitative takes an alternative data approach to institutional tracking. Beyond 13F filings, it tracks congressional trading (stock trades by U.S. senators and representatives), government contracts, Wikipedia page views, and social media sentiment. If you believe that alternative data sources provide an edge beyond traditional 13F analysis, Quiver is worth exploring.
