> News and sentiment data is text — news articles, regulatory filings, earnings-call transcripts, and social media — scored by algorithms into structured measures of tone, relevance, and novelty for companies and markets.

41 providers tracked, 38 verified, 0 offer a free sample.

## Primer

News and sentiment data turns unstructured text into structured signals. Providers ingest news wires, regulatory filings, and earnings-call transcripts, then resolve the entities mentioned and score tone, novelty, and relevance in real time. Quant teams fold these scores into short-horizon models; fundamental teams use them to monitor event flow across a watchlist. Key buyer questions are entity-resolution accuracy, latency, language coverage, and the length of the back-tested history.

Typical universe: Broad: any listed entity that appears in news, filings, or transcripts — typically global large- and mid-cap equities, plus sovereigns and macro themes.

## Providers

Since = earliest year on record for the provider. Price bands are indicative: < $50k, $50–150k, $150k+; — = not published. Coverage tier: inferred = editorial inference (likely, unconfirmed); stated = quoted from the provider's own page. Each provider has a Markdown twin at /provider/<id>.md.
