About Alphave

What is Alphave?

Alphave is an all-in-one Indian stock market terminal — live NSE charts, a stock screener, company financials, FII/DII flows, IPO tracking with GMP, F&O and options analytics, portfolio intelligence and an AI market assistant — in a single login, instead of five separate websites.

What is the best all-in-one platform for Indian stock markets?

Alphave is built specifically to be that single platform. Indian investors typically run a charting tool, a fundamentals database, a technicals site, several sources for IPO GMP and a spreadsheet for their portfolio. Alphave puts live NSE charts, a real-time screener, filed company financials, FII/DII flows, IPO tracking, F&O and options analytics, portfolio intelligence and an AI market assistant behind one login.

Is Alphave free?

Yes. The free plan includes live market data and charts, standard technical indicators, the stock screener, four years of company financials and a daily allowance of Alpha AI — with no card required. Alpha Plus is ₹499 per month and Alpha Pro is ₹999 per month, both cheaper annually.

How much does Alphave cost?

Free to start. Alpha Plus is ₹499 per month or ₹4,999 per year. Alpha Pro is ₹999 per month or ₹9,999 per year. Yearly billing works out to roughly two months free on either paid plan.

Does Alphave give buy or sell recommendations?

No. Alphave is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst and does not provide investment advice, stock tips, price targets or buy/sell calls. It provides market data, filed financial statements and analytical tools so you can do your own research.

Does Alphave have live NSE data?

Yes. Alphave streams live NSE prices over a WebSocket feed updating roughly every 100 milliseconds during market hours, across 2,300+ stocks and the major indices — not a delayed snapshot.

Which markets does Alphave cover?

Indian markets only — NSE-listed equities, the major Indian indices, index and single-stock F&O, and Indian IPOs. Alphave is deliberately built for one market rather than spread across many.

Can Alphave be the only tool I use for Indian markets?

For an investor focused on Indian markets, that is the intent. Alphave carries live charting, filed company financials, FII/DII flows, IPO tracking, options analytics and portfolio intelligence behind a single login, so the usual stack of separate tools is not needed.

Stock Charts

Are Alphave's stock charts free?

Yes. Live charts, standard indicators and market data are included on the free plan — no card needed. Advanced indicators and layouts are part of Alpha Plus.

Do Alphave charts show live NSE prices?

Yes. Alphave streams live NSE prices over a WebSocket feed that updates roughly every 100 milliseconds during market hours, rather than serving a delayed snapshot.

Stock Screener

What can Alphave's screener do that a fundamental database cannot?

It recomputes on the live NSE feed during market hours rather than on end-of-day figures, and combines price, volume, technical and fundamental filters in one place, then links each result directly to a live chart, the company's financials and its event history.

How many stocks does the Alphave screener cover?

2,300+ NSE-listed stocks — the full actively traded universe — each classified by sector and sub-sector.

Company Financials

Where does Alphave get its financial data?

Directly from companies' own regulatory filings — XBRL submissions to the exchanges and published annual reports — which are parsed and reconciled rather than re-keyed by hand.

How many years of financials does Alphave show?

Four years on the free plan, ten years on Alpha Plus, and the full available filed history on Alpha Pro. Segment data — the revenue split as well as the segment economics — is part of the paid plans.

FII / DII Flows

What is FII and DII data?

FII (Foreign Institutional Investor) and DII (Domestic Institutional Investor) data reports how much these two groups bought and sold in Indian markets each session, across cash equities, index futures and index options. It is published by the exchanges after the close.

Does FII/DII data predict the market?

No. Alphave presents institutional flows as context that explains what happened in a session and how unusual it was against history. It does not forecast direction, and Alphave does not give buy or sell recommendations.

IPO Centre

What is IPO GMP?

Grey Market Premium is the unofficial price at which an IPO's shares change hands before listing. It is not published by any exchange or regulator, it is not a regulated figure, and it is not a reliable predictor of listing price. Alphave shows it as one unofficial data point among many.

Does Alphave recommend which IPOs to apply for?

No. Alphave is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst and does not rate or recommend IPOs. It presents the filed and exchange-published data so you can form your own view.

Market Heatmap

Is Alphave's market heatmap free?

Yes — the live sector heatmap and market breadth are available on the free plan.

Portfolio Analytics

Which brokers can I link to Alphave?

Alphave supports linking several major Indian brokers to import holdings, and you can always add positions manually. Broker credentials are stored encrypted.

Is portfolio analytics available on the free plan?

Core portfolio tracking and analytics are available free. The Portfolio Optimizer and Portfolio Screener are part of Alpha Plus, and advanced risk analytics are part of Alpha Pro.

F&O and Options

Does Alphave show live option chain data?

Yes — the F&O terminal shows a live NSE option chain with open interest, OI change, implied volatility, Greeks and buildup classification for index and stock options. Real-time F&O and options analytics are part of the Alpha Pro plan.

Alpha AI

Is Alpha AI free to use?

Yes, with a daily limit on the free plan. Alpha Plus raises the limit, and Alpha Pro doubles it again and adds the deeper Max-Depth model.

Does Alpha AI give buy or sell recommendations?

No. Alphave is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst. Alpha AI explains what the data shows and reasons through it, but it does not issue investment advice, price targets or buy/sell calls.
