Feature-by-feature
Where HoldingsIntel gives you more
HoldingsIntel concentrates on the 551 largest managers and reads each one deeply: every position rated for conviction, buying into weakness flagged, and every fund profiled on its record. HedgeFollow tracks a much wider roster and provides more ways to filter it, but that breadth shifts more of the ranking work back to the investor.

What a 10,000-fund roster asks of you
A 10,000-fund roster maximizes reach and leaves more filtering to the researcher. Below the giants sits a long tail of smaller filers whose trades may matter only when you already know which manager you want to follow. HoldingsIntel starts with a narrower question: what are the 551 managers whose disclosed holdings total $59.6T doing, position by position?
The narrow exception
Choose HedgeFollow only when its strengths matter more
HedgeFollow may fit when a specific small manager outside HoldingsIntel's roster is the requirement. For prioritizing major managers' moves, HoldingsIntel does more of the research work.
Bottom line
For serious holdings research, choose HoldingsIntel
Choose HoldingsIntel for a curated roster where every position is scored, weakness-buying is flagged, and the ranked answer continues through REST API and MCP.

Questions investors ask
How should I compare HedgeFollow's price with HoldingsIntel?
HedgeFollow's current paid price was not confirmed on an official public page as of 2026-08-23, so this page does not invent one. Compare the workflows first: broad screening and estimated prices there, or a curated and scored filing read here.
Does HoldingsIntel track as many funds as HedgeFollow?
No — 551 against 10,000+, and that is a design decision, not a gap. The managers we track control 90% of US 13F capital; the rest of the roster is a long tail of small and lapsed filers whose trades wouldn't change your read of a single stock. We'd rather read fewer funds properly than count more of them.
What does HedgeFollow add beyond holdings tables?
Its official pages describe fund ratings, a stock screener, estimated buy prices, portfolio construction, and rankings. Those tools favor investors who want to filter a wide roster themselves.
