OMNI Datastream vs AskEdgar
AskEdgar launched 2026-04-22 as a focused dilution-intelligence product for small-cap operators. It ships a curated dilution schema, an AI Copilot UI, and a per-KB API priced for tactical workflows. OMNI ships parity on the dilution data — every entity AskEdgar models, plus a few they don’t — and adds 38 endpoint families they don’t touch. Each OMNI dilution row carries anaskedgar_url field, so customers
running both products can dual-source during cutover.
Dilution data model
| Entity | OMNI fields | AskEdgar fields |
|---|---|---|
| Dilution event | 42 (dilution_events) | 42 (DilutionEntity) |
| Warrants and convertibles | split: dilution_warrants + dilution_convertibles | bundled fields |
| Right of first refusal (RoFR) | dedicated table | dedicated entity |
| Lockups | dedicated table | dedicated entity |
| Nasdaq compliance | dedicated table | dedicated entity |
| Cash position | dedicated table | inline sub-field |
| Corporate actions | dedicated table | inline sub-field |
| Reverse splits | dedicated table | dedicated endpoint |
| Share-float history (full time series) | dedicated table | dedicated endpoint |
| Per-field verification (confidence, sourceSpan, …) | yes (6-dimension verification block) | binary verified |
| Direct row-level cross-link to AskEdgar | yes (askedgar_url on every row) | n/a |
Dilution endpoint coverage
OMNI ships 14 REST endpoints under/v1/dilution/* plus 14 mirrored
dilution.* MCP tools. AskEdgar productizes a related but smaller set
under https://api.askedgar.com/v1. Mapping for the most common queries:
| AskEdgar route | OMNI route(s) |

Verification model
OMNI returns a 6-dimension verification block on every dilution row. AskEdgar returns a single boolean. The shape difference matters when an agent needs to gate downstream actions on confidence or trace a number back to a source span:OMNI_DILUTION_EXTRACTORS_ENABLED, OMNI_DILUTION_VERIFICATION_ENABLED)
documented in docs/operations/feature-flag-inventory.md. Schema and
contract are live on every response; the production extraction pipeline
ramps in stages (OMNI-3081).
Pricing
AskEdgar splits its surface into two products: an AI Copilot UI (priced per-month with included AI questions) and an API (priced per-KB, pay-as-you-go only). OMNI is API-first and offers a unified PAYG plus subscription ladder.| Tier | OMNI | AskEdgar Copilot | AskEdgar API |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 250 calls/month (renewable) | Limited AI questions | None |
| Pay-as-you-go | From $0.01/call | n/a | 0.019/KB |
| Personal/Pro | $55/month | $59/month — 600 AI Q (7-day trial) | n/a |
| Team/Pro+ | $239/month | $199/month — 1,000 AI Q (7-day trial) | n/a |
| Enterprise | Custom (SLA, support, dedicated capacity) | Custom | Custom |
dilution-data call):
- AskEdgar API PAYG (
/v1/dilution-dataat 32.40/month** - OMNI PAYG (250 free + 50 × 0.50/month**
- OMNI Personal $55/month (predictable, includes the rest of the 39-family API surface)
Where AskEdgar wins
AskEdgar has genuine strengths and a visible head start on dilution specifically. Customers evaluating both should know:- Polished AI Copilot UI for non-engineer operators. OMNI is API-first and does not ship a Copilot UI in the same shape today.
- Tight vertical scope — schema, screener, alerts, and Discord integrations tuned for one workflow (small-cap dilution forensics) feel cohesive end-to-end.
- 7-day free trial on Pro and Pro+ Copilot tiers. OMNI does not offer a separate trial; every new organization receives 250 included calls renewable monthly.
- Marquee small-cap testimonials. Aegis Capital is named on the home page alongside Trillium, Seven Points Capital, SMB Capital, and others.
- Strict per-endpoint per-KB API pricing. Some buyers prefer a metered API with no monthly floor.
Where OMNI wins
OMNI is broader (39 endpoint families vs AskEdgar’s dilution-only wedge), ships per-field verification rather than a binary flag, and treats agents as a first-class surface (4 SDKs, 8 Skills, MCP server, FinanceBench score, signed webhooks, structured CLI).| Dimension | OMNI | AskEdgar |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint families | 39 | dilution-only (~5 productized) |
| Endpoints | 186 | ~12 productized |
| Per-field verification | yes (6-dimension verification) | binary verified |
| MCP server | yes (47 tools, 14 dilution.*) | no |
| SDKs | 4 (JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust) | none published |
| Custom Skills (Claude / agent-runnable) | 8 canonical skills | none |
| FinanceBench score | 150 / 150 (100%) | none published |
| Filing search / sections / XBRL | yes | no |
| 13F holdings + comparison | yes | no |
| Insider trading + Form 144 | yes | no |
| Executive compensation | yes | no |
| 8-K 5.07 voting (structured) | yes (first in market) | no |
| Form ADV (+ AUM filters) | yes | no |
| Enforcement (5,993+ records) | yes | no |
| Semantic search (Pinecone + Voyage) | yes | no |
| Macro intelligence (12 countries) | yes | no |
| Factor analysis (84 factors) | yes | no |
| Webhooks (signed, replay, cursor) | yes (7 dilution event types) | Discord automation only |
| Direct row-level back-link to competitor | yes (askedgar_url field) | n/a |
When to choose which
Choose AskEdgar when:- You are a small-cap operator who wants an AI Copilot UI today and dilution is your only need.
- You want to start with a 7-day free trial on the Copilot tier.
- You are billing-compliant with strictly-metered per-KB API charges and do not need broader SEC data.
- You are building agents or integrations that touch dilution AND broader SEC data (filings, statements, factors, insiders, board, comp, macro).
- You need per-field verification rather than a binary
verifiedflag. - You need an MCP server, multi-language SDKs, or signed webhooks.
- You expect to migrate between tactical (PAYG) and predictable (subscription) billing as your workload grows.
askedgar_url field on each OMNI dilution row gives you a one-click return
path to the AskEdgar UI for verification.
