Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Koyfin

  • Annual prices are not shown on the pricing page, only a claim of saving up to 30 per cent, checked November 2026.
  • Client proposals and reports are capped at 10 a month on Advisor Core, so a practice running regular reviews for many households needs Advisor Pro at $299 a month.
  • Advisor Core includes only one custodian integration, and the features page names only Schwab and Altruist; firms on other custodians fall back to PDF statement uploads, which are an Advisor Pro feature.
  • The data coverage page does not name its upstream data providers, so users cannot check where fundamentals and estimates come from.
  • No Excel add-in or API is described on the features or pricing pages, which limits use in spreadsheet-based modelling workflows.
  • The mobile app lists filings, screener and custom calculations as features still to come.

LSEG Workspace

  • No published commercial pricing. LSEG's service overview says applications are not sold individually but packaged into workflow propositions through an account team; the only figure published is for the academic Campus variant (checked November 2026).
  • Code written against Eikon's APIs has to be rewritten: the Eikon COM APIs and Eikon Data API are replaced by the LSEG COM Library for Workspace and the LSEG Data Library.
  • AI agent availability varies by surface and entitlement: Company Intelligence in Microsoft Teams was listed as coming soon, and LSEG tells users to contact their representative for access.
  • LSEG Messenger is free but, per the service overview, may not come by default with every Workspace variant, and live chat support is not available in the mobile app.
  • The Refinitiv brand transition is unfinished in places: the web sign-in on LSEG's download page still points to workspace.refinitiv.com and the developer community to community.developers.refinitiv.com.
