SEC fundamentals with point-in-time history, self-serve instead of by contract.
Compustat, from S&P Global Market Intelligence, is a long-standing standardized fundamentals database used across academia and finance, and S&P offers a point-in-time Snapshot product. Valuein is narrower: SEC filings only, point-in-time and including delisted filers, self-serve with API, SDK, Parquet and an MCP server.
The short version, including where S&P Compustat is the better pick.
Compustat is deeper and broader: S&P lists history back to the 1950s and global coverage, plus the Snapshot point-in-time product. Valuein covers SEC filers back to 1993, is self-serve, and keeps each fact linked to its source filing accession.
How you get access: Self-serve signup, free sample with no token.

If you need global coverage or history before 1993, Compustat covers more.
