Techdamentals vs Alpha Spread

The two closest products in this category. Both start from intrinsic value. They differ in how many ways they get there, and in what they admit along the way.

Who each one is for

Alpha Spread is a valuation platform used by about 360,000 value investors. For each stock it gives an intrinsic value from a discounted-cash-flow model and a relative valuation, with bear, base and bull scenarios, a valuation backtest against the stock's own history, a screener, watchlists and alerts, across 100,000-plus stocks worldwide.

Techdamentals values a US-listed company four ways, blends the methods into one fair value, checks the inputs against a second source before anything is shown, and reads the price chart in the same account. Every section is written for someone new to this, with the vocabulary explained where it's used.

Side by side

What you're comparing	Alpha Spread	Techdamentals
Built around	An intrinsic value per stock, from a DCF and a relative valuation, with scenario toggles	A verdict from four methods, blended, with the reasoning written out in plain English under it
The methods	Two (discounted cash flow and relative valuation), plus the Wall Street target	Four (cash flow over 20 years, cash flow over 10 years, profit per share over 10 years, sales growth), each shown with its own figure, then the blend and the spread between them
Scenarios	Bear, base and bull cases in one click	No scenario toggles yet. Pro can change any input and rerun the whole analysis, and every page states the growth rate at which the verdict would flip
Checking the data	One data provider	The price checked against a second, independent source; sales checked two ways; anything that fails is marked unverified on the page
Reading the chart	Not a focus	ReadR: paste a chart screenshot and get the direction, the levels, the patterns and the volume read for you
History	A valuation backtest: how today's valuation compares with the stock's own past	Four to five years of quarterly and annual financials as charts. No historical fair-value line
Keeping track	Watchlists, price alerts, screener alerts, an investment journal	A watchlist showing the saved fair value against the live price, and alerts when the price crosses the range or a target you set
Price, checked 30 Sep 2026	Free (3 reports a week). Premium $12 a month billed annually ($144; 15 reports a week). Unlimited $20 a month billed annually ($240). 14-day money-back	7-day trial, no card (3 complete analyses, 3 chart reads). Pro $10 a month, unlimited, both apps, cancel anytime

Where Alpha Spread is better

Scenarios, backtests and reach. Bear, base and bull cases are the fastest way to see how much an answer depends on its assumptions, and Techdamentals doesn't have that toggle yet. The valuation backtest answers a question Techdamentals can't: is this stock cheap compared with its own past? And the screener runs across 100,000-plus stocks worldwide, where Techdamentals covers US-listed companies only. If you value companies outside the US, or you want scenario cases in one click, Alpha Spread is the better fit today.

Where Techdamentals is different

Four methods, not two, and all of them on the page. Where the methods disagree is the real measure of how sure a number is, so the spread between them is shown, not just the average.
The honesty layer. A two-source price check before anything is valued, sales reconciled two ways, and a result that fails is labelled unverified. A method that couldn't run says why, in plain words, next to the fair value.
Written for someone new. Every note, every method card and every check is in plain English, with the term explained where it appears. The Learn page covers every section.
Both halves of the analysis. The chart read and the valuation in one account, and one line that says whether they agree.
Half the price for unlimited. $10 a month against $20 for Alpha Spread's unlimited plan, and the trial shows the complete report with nothing locked.

The price, and the date
