We're one of the tools being compared here, so take this with appropriate skepticism. That said, we've done our best to be factual — comparing what we can verify rather than making claims we can't back up. Where DiluTracker does something better, we say so.
Both tools exist because the same core problem matters: SEC dilution filings affect retail investors who almost always find out too late. Any tool that gets investors better information faster is a net good for the market.
DilutionWatch monitors SEC EDGAR in real time, covering 10,000+ tickers with 60-second polling intervals. Beyond filing alerts, it scores each ticker with a proprietary Dilution Risk Score (0–100) based on recent filing activity, shelf registration size, cash position signals, and historical dilution patterns. The goal is helping investors understand ongoing dilution risk, not just individual filing events.
DiluTracker (dilutracker.com) is focused specifically on tracking dilution events from SEC filings — primarily shelf registrations, S-1s, and prospectus supplements. It has a clean UI and a community following, particularly among traders focused on OTC and small-cap stocks. It's been around longer than DilutionWatch and has an established user base.

DiluTracker doesn't publish all their technical specs publicly, so some cells above say "not publicly disclosed" rather than making claims we can't verify. We'd rather be honest about what we don't know than make up numbers.
DilutionWatch covers 10,000+ tickers including NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC markets — basically everything in EDGAR. Our SEO ticker pages are indexed, so you can search Google for "[ticker] dilution risk" and often find a DilutionWatch page for that stock.
DiluTracker appears to focus primarily on the stocks most relevant to dilution risk — heavily weighted toward OTC, micro-cap, and biotech where dilution is most common. For traders focused specifically on those markets, their coverage may feel more curated.
DilutionWatch polls EDGAR every 60 seconds. When a new filing appears, alerts go out within minutes. This matters because institutional traders monitor EDGAR in real time — if your alert tool has a 6-hour or 24-hour delay, you're always behind.
We can't independently verify DiluTracker's alert speed. If filing speed is critical to your trading strategy, test both tools with a watchlist and compare how fast each sends alerts on a known filing date.
DilutionWatch tracks 25 SEC filing types, including:
DiluTracker appears to focus primarily on the S-3/S-1/424B series — the direct offering filings. This is a reasonable focus since those are the most immediately actionable for dilution traders. DilutionWatch's broader coverage means more signal but potentially more noise.
DilutionWatch has a genuine free forever tier — no credit card, no trial expiration. Free users get 3 watchlist slots, basic alerts on S-3 and 424B filings, and access to the public dilution risk scores for any ticker.
Paid tiers ($19.95/mo Basic, $49.95/mo Premium) add more watchlist slots, full alert coverage across all 25 filing types, priority delivery, and API access at the Premium tier.
Check DiluTracker's current pricing directly at their site — pricing in this space changes and we don't want to publish stale numbers.
Honest answer: try both. They're solving the same problem from slightly different angles, and the best tool depends on your trading style.
Use whichever tool gets you the information fastest and most reliably. Missing a single dilution event can cost far more than the subscription price of either tool. This is not the place to be cheap.
No credit card. No trial expiration. Add your watchlist, set up alerts, and see how fast you catch the next dilution filing.
