invest-like vs GuruFocus

For most investors, yes, and at roughly a third of the price. GuruFocus is a data warehouse with a famously steep onboarding cliff: massive ratio library, opaque scoring, no AI features. invest-like is purpose-built for a faster judgment loop: seven named investor frameworks, Buffett Brain verdict with reasoning, Ask Buffett chat against real Berkshire letters. The only category where GuruFocus still leads is the Guru holdings tracker, useful if your strategy is to replicate Buffett or Klarman portfolio directly.

No. GuruFocus strength is ratios, screens, and insider/guru tracking, classical value-investing tooling. There is no LLM-generated verdict and no AI chat. invest-like ships three AI-native features GuruFocus does not: Buffett Brain (5-pillar AI verdict), Ask Buffett (RAG against Berkshire letters), and Boardroom (4-investor debate).

Legacy pricing. GuruFocus Premium has been $40/mo for years and prices around an institutional buyer profile. invest-like is priced for the indie retail and serious-amateur investor: EUR 15/mo or EUR 144/yr (EUR 12/mo equivalent). Roughly a third of GuruFocus Premium cost, and the value gap is on invest-like side for AI verdicts, named frameworks, and plain-English UX.

You can. Most of the classic ratios that justify the GuruFocus price (ROIC, F-Score-style quality metrics, debt ratios) already show up in the Buffett Brain reasoning, so the overlap is large. Keeping both mainly makes sense if you copy guru portfolios closely.

GuruFocus covers 100,000+ vs. our 21,000+. For US large-cap and mid-cap watchlists (where most retail decisions are made), both have full coverage. The 100,000 number adds a long tail of micro-caps and obscure global tickers, useful if your portfolio is heavy on those names, irrelevant for most investors. We expand coverage continuously; we don't try to win on raw ticker count.
