Looking for a mythesis.ai alternative?
MyThesis is a clean, dedicated thesis-alert tool, and it is live, which already puts it ahead of most of this category. The catch is the meter: it charges by how many holdings you watch, up to $199.99 a month for 25 positions. Helm Terminal watches your whole portfolio, thesis monitoring included, at $20 a month flat.
The per-holding math
Thesis monitoring gets more valuable the more of your portfolio it covers, because the risks that hurt most, shared drivers, hidden concentration, a thesis quietly breaking while the price holds up, live across positions, not inside one. Metering by holding prices the tool against its own usefulness. Here is what watching a real portfolio costs on each:
| Portfolio size | MyThesis | Helm Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 5 holdings | $49.99/mo ($600/yr) | $20/mo ($240/yr) |
| 10 holdings | $89.99/mo ($1,080/yr) | $20/mo ($240/yr) |
| 25 holdings | $199.99/mo ($2,400/yr) | $20/mo ($240/yr) |
| 40 holdings | Not offered (25 max) | $20/mo ($240/yr) |

Thesis alerts are one layer, not the whole job
MyThesis does one thing: thesis alerts on manually entered positions. That is a real job, and it does it with a tidy UI, per-pillar status, and severity-tagged alerts.
Helm treats the thesis as connective tissue inside a broader agent that watches your actual book. Connect your brokerages through Plaid (read-only, it can never trade or move money) and the same positions that carry your theses also get tax-loss harvesting detection, concentration and earnings-exposure scans, and a daily brief on what moved and why. When a thesis pillar weakens, that shows up next to the tax and risk context for the same position, because in a real portfolio those are one decision, not three apps.
You can also start a thesis from scratch: Helm drafts the pillars for any holding, you edit what you actually believe, and monitoring starts that day.
Receipts, not just source names
When MyThesis flags your thesis, the alert names its source. When Helm flags a pillar, the alert quotes the exact line from the SEC filing or article, with its date and a link, so you can verify the claim in one click before you act on it. A thesis alert is an argument about your money; the difference between "per AP News" and the actual sentence from the 10-Q is the difference between trusting the tool and checking its work.
We hold ourselves to that standard in public: the masthead is a running log of calls Helm made, with the dated evidence behind each one. Every living thesis page shows its pillars, what would break them, and the verbatim citations tested against them.
Common questions
Is there a free MyThesis alternative?
Helm Terminal is free to start: portfolio aggregation, free AI stock analysis, and the actions inbox cost nothing. The thesis-monitoring layer is part of Helm Pro at $20/month for unlimited holdings. MyThesis has a free tier limited to a single holding.
What is the difference between MyThesis and Helm Terminal?
Both monitor investment theses and are live as of July 2026. MyThesis is a dedicated thesis-alert tool: manually entered holdings, per-pillar status, an alert feed, priced per holding from $49.99/month for 5 positions. Helm runs thesis monitoring inside a whole-portfolio agent: brokerage sync via Plaid, tax-loss harvesting, concentration and earnings scans, and a daily brief, at $20/month flat, and every thesis alert quotes the underlying filing or article verbatim with its date.
Does Helm Terminal track investment theses like MyThesis?
Yes. You write the pillars behind each holding (or let Helm draft them), and Helm scores SEC filings, earnings, news, and price against each pillar every trading day. When one weakens or breaks, the alert cites the exact source line with its date, so you can verify it yourself in one click.
How many holdings can I monitor on Helm vs MyThesis?
MyThesis meters by position: $49.99/month covers 5 holdings, $89.99 covers 10, and $199.99 covers 25. Helm Pro covers your entire portfolio at $20/month with no per-holding cap, whether you hold 5 positions or 60.

As of July 2026, MyThesis holdings are entered manually. Helm connects to 12,000+ institutions through Plaid with read-only access, so your positions, cost basis, and accounts stay in sync automatically, and you can also add manual holdings.
