Ledington vs Koyfin

A terminal, not another dashboard

Koyfin is a well-built research tool, and for charting company fundamentals on one screen it is hard to beat. Ledington is a terminal: panels you arrange across monitors, a desk that shares them, and coverage that runs past the equity screen into rates, positioning and policy.

Why teams switch from Koyfin

Panels across every monitor

Stack panels as tabs, send any group of them to its own window, and keep the layout in the browser or the desktop app.

The plumbing behind the market

Repo operations, SOFR averages and the Fed's balance sheet, next to futures positioning, energy inventories and new regulation.

One workspace for the whole desk

Publish layouts and saved screens to everyone, talk them through in chat, and keep roles and an audit log behind it all.

Questions from Koyfin users

Try the terminal before you sign up

The demo runs on simulated data and needs no account, so you can open every panel and build a layout before you talk to anyone.

In your browser or on your desktop

Use Ledington in any modern browser, or install the desktop app for its own window and an always-on-top mode. Your layouts follow you between them.

Available for macOS and Windows.
