Feature-by-feature
Where HoldingsIntel gives you more
HoldingsIntel turns the 551 largest US managers' filings into conviction scores, estimated entry price and P&L, and fund ratings. Dataroma provides a free list of 83 hand-picked superinvestors, but a holdings list still leaves the central questions unanswered: how meaningful is each position, what has it earned, and which managers are worth following?

From watchlist to verdict
Dataroma shows what its selected value investors hold and what changed. It leaves everything after that to you: was the new position 4% of the book or 0.2%, what did the manager likely pay, and did other disciplined funds buy the same stock? HoldingsIntel answers those scoring questions with conviction on every position, cost basis and P&L on every holding, and a per-stock read that identifies agreement automatically.
The narrow exception
Choose Dataroma only when its strengths matter more
Dataroma may fit when a free list of its 83 selected managers is the entire requirement. HoldingsIntel is the better choice once you need conviction, track records, or broader coverage.
Bottom line
For serious holdings research, choose HoldingsIntel
Choose HoldingsIntel to see how much each position means, what it has earned, and how the manager rates across a broader roster, then carry the answer into REST API or MCP.

Questions investors ask
Does HoldingsIntel cover Buffett, Icahn, and the other Dataroma superinvestors?
Most of them. Berkshire Hathaway, Icahn Enterprises, Baupost, Pershing Square, and the bulk of Dataroma's list sit inside our 551-manager roster, where every position carries a conviction rating and estimated P&L. A handful of smaller boutique managers fall below the HoldingsIntel size cutoff.
What can HoldingsIntel tell me about a Dataroma holding that Dataroma can't?
Three numbers. How much the position means to the fund — conviction, 0–100, judged against the manager's own portfolio. What it has earned — an estimated entry price and P&L since first purchase, not just reported-date vs current price. And whether the rest of the disclosed money agrees — insider, activist, and congressional filings on the same stock, weighed into one verdict.
Is there any reason to pay for HoldingsIntel when Dataroma is free?
Only if the scoring layer changes your decisions. Holdings and quarterly changes are free in both places — Dataroma for its 83 superinvestors, our free tier for the latest quarter across 551 managers. The paid tiers buy conviction ratings, per-position P&L, fund star ratings, and multi-quarter history.
