The short answer

WhaleWisdom is a 13F specialist with history back to 2001, a screener, a backtester and a free tier; OQRO follows a selected set of 13F filers and puts their moves next to insider trades, Congress trades and federal contracts, each with a plain line and the official filing. This page records what each lists and the price it lists, as read on 9 October 2026. It does not say either is better.

How this was written

Every statement about WhaleWisdom comes from its own public pricing page, opened on 9 October 2026 and linked below. We state what the page says it offers and the price it lists, and we did not test its data. Statements about OQRO come from OQRO's own coverage, methodology and status pages. For what a 13F is, see what a Form 13F shows.

Where WhaleWisdom lists more

On its pricing page WhaleWisdom is a 13F specialist. It lists 13F history back to 2001 through its API on paid plans, a 13F stock screener, a heat map, a backtester, a fund performance evaluator, a developer API, an Excel add-in, fund groups and watchlists, and a free tier with two years of 13F data and unlimited email alerts. OQRO's own 13F history is shorter, and OQRO follows a selected set of filers rather than every filer.

Where OQRO is different

  • 13F next to everything else. OQRO puts a company's fund holders beside its insider trades, Congress trades and contracts, and links every record to the official filing.
  • One plain line per record. Each change in a fund's holdings is written as a sentence, with the official document next to it. OQRO keeps clear that a 13F is a quarter-end snapshot filed up to 45 days later, not a live trade.
  • A measured record, not a promise. OQRO publishes how the new or larger positions of the funds it follows did against the S&P 500 after the filing became public, only for funds with enough measured positions, and says when the data is too short to rank anyone.
  • Price. The prices each service lists are in the table; both can change.

Which to choose

Choose WhaleWisdom if 13F data is your main need, if you want history back to 2001, a screener and a backtester built on fund holdings, or a free tier to start with. Choose OQRO if you want fund moves explained in plain words alongside insider trades, Congress trades and federal contracts for the same company, each with the official record next to it. A reader who wants both a deep 13F archive and a wider view of disclosures could use both.

Limits of this comparison

OQRO wrote this page, so read it with that in mind. It compares what the pages list, not how accurate or how complete the data is, which we did not measure for WhaleWisdom. Neither service gives investment advice on the pages we read, and neither does this page.
