Do people want a cheaper FactSet?

Same as title. Factset’s data is mostly public (derived from SEC filings), and they collect it using human labor (overseas click farms), so I’m sure someone could replicate it for much cheaper using AI. Would you/your company buy something that has 80% of Factset’s features at 20% of the cost?

Would you?
