# signaldaemon vs Adanos

Both feed market context to AI agents, but do different jobs. **Adanos** = broad
multi-source market sentiment, stock-first. **signaldaemon** = crypto/AI/macro
narrative intelligence (cross-source convergence + narrative-vs-price divergence),
MCP-native. Written to be fair, including where Adanos wins.

## Use Adanos if
- You trade US equities and want per-ticker sentiment across 35k+ symbols
- You want raw social/news buzz (Reddit, X, News, Polymarket) in one schema
- You want SDKs (Py/TS/PHP) + CLI and published per-tier pricing today

## Use signaldaemon if
- You work crypto/AI/macro and want narrative, not just a sentiment score
- You want cross-source convergence (how many independent sources agree) + narrative-vs-price divergence
- You want it MCP-native (agent calls it as a tool) and fail-safe (says "no coverage", never invents)

**Or both** — complementary: Adanos for per-stock social sentiment, signaldaemon for
crypto narrative intelligence. In a trading agent (e.g. AI-Trader) load both.

## Side by side

| Narrative-vs-price divergence | None (no price data) | Two signed axes (direction vs vs_market)* |
| Fail-safe | "no data" response | Explicit no_asset / no_coverage refusal |
| Cadence | ~hourly | ~20 min |
| Integration | REST + SDK + CLI + skill | Remote MCP native + REST + agentskills.io skill |
| Pricing | Public: Free / $29 / $299 | Free demo + free account (beta); institutional custom |

*Divergence is a structured observation, not a proven trading edge — we're backtesting
it (controlling for price momentum) before claiming predictive power. See

## Where Adanos is the better pick (we mean it)
- US equities & breadth — 35k+ tickers + 4 feeds beat our crypto-only news coverage for stock traders
- Per-symbol social volume — their core; we're narrative/sector-level
- Tooling maturity — public pricing, multi-language SDKs, CLI shipped

Our wedge is narrow and deliberate: crypto narrative intelligence with computed
convergence, honest fail-safe, and MCP-native delivery. If that's your job:
