QuantSquawk does one narrower thing: it scores every public Tier-1 headline for likely market impact the moment it lands, with an AI audio squawk. Free to start.

Common Questions

Everything You Want to
Know Before Switching

Is QuantSquawk an Investing.com alternative?
Only for the breaking-news slice. Investing.com is a broad markets portal — free quotes and charts across global exchanges, a real-time economic calendar, a news feed and customizable mobile alerts, supported by ads — and InvestingPro (~$10–40/month depending on plan and billing) adds fair-value estimates, financial health scores, screeners and an ad-free experience. QuantSquawk has none of that market data. What it does is score public headlines (Reuters, CNBC, MarketWatch, Benzinga, Yahoo, Fed releases) from −100 to +100 for estimated market impact, in real time, with an AI audio squawk — free to start, no account.
When is Investing.com the better choice?
If you want one free place for quotes, charts, the economic calendar and price alerts across stocks, FX, commodities and crypto — or fundamentals and fair-value models via InvestingPro — Investing.com covers far more ground and QuantSquawk doesn't compete there. If you mainly want a fast, scored read on which headlines actually matter during market hours — read aloud so you don't have to watch the screen — QuantSquawk fits at $0–$29/month. Our accuracy ledger is still building in public, so judge the scores yourself.
Do I need an account or credit card to start?
No. Open quantsquawk.com in your browser and you're live. No signup, no email, no credit card. The full free tier — Tier 1 feed, AI scoring, audio — is immediately accessible.
How accurate is the AI impact scoring?
The AI scores are directional sentiment signals and market-impact estimates — not trade signals or a trading system. We track scored Tier-1 headlines against the actual price moves that follow, and publish hits and misses alike as the record builds. Treat the output as one input in your process, not financial advice.
