What inMOLA does differently

inMOLA was not built to compete with AlphaSense. It was built to answer the questions AlphaSense was never asked to answer.

Decision engine, not a dashboard

inMOLA does not just visualize data. It evaluates performance against strategic objectives across forty-plus modules and produces prioritized, scored decisions.

64 cross-channel modules

Brand health, paid media, SEO, AI visibility, competitive intelligence, web personalization, PR media value. Each turns a hard marketing question into a structured, repeatable decision.

Real competitor traffic + predictive trend

inMOLA pulls real competitor traffic and audience data through a contracted world-class data provider — ~20 distinct metrics, not panel-modeled estimates. The next-month trend is forecast from the last three months, so you act on direction, not just a snapshot.

Decisions at every level, not just the C-suite

CMOs and GMs use inMOLA for strategic calls; brand and performance specialists use it for tactical moves; channel owners use it for daily operational decisions. The platform serves every decision altitude in the marketing org, not only the boardroom.

One defensible score for the board

inMOLA Score collapses every channel into a single, audit-friendly number. The end of "marketing is a black box" in the boardroom.

AI search visibility tracking

Track how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude — and where competitors show up when your name should. Most marketing platforms cannot see this layer.

Built on 25 years of operator expertise

Erkan Terzi's frameworks and scoring systems — first built in Excel, refined across real campaigns — codified into algorithms. AI is the accelerator, not the strategist.

Continuous evaluation, not snapshots

Scoring runs in permanent improvement mode. A campaign that scored well in month one is reassessed in month four as conditions shift. Longitudinal, not instant.

Side-by-side comparison

Stripped to the basics — what each platform actually does and does not do.

Real scenarios

The questions buyers actually ask before they sign either contract.

"We use AlphaSense for financial research. Do we need inMOLA?"

They solve different problems. AlphaSense answers "what is the market and our competitors saying in financial content?" inMOLA answers "what should we do across brand, paid, PR, AI visibility and competition?" — for marketing leadership and specialists, not finance/IR.

"Can inMOLA replace AlphaSense?"

No. inMOLA does not search SEC filings, broker research or expert call transcripts. For finance/IR/strategy research, AlphaSense stays.

"Can AlphaSense replace inMOLA?"

No. AlphaSense does not measure brand health, track AI search visibility, value PR media or produce cross-channel marketing decisions. Different category.

"Different buyers — how do they coexist?"

AlphaSense lives with equity research, IR, corporate strategy. inMOLA lives with the CMO, marketing leadership and specialists. They sit at different budget lines and serve different outcomes.

"We are evaluating both. Which first?"

They are not alternatives. If the gap is "we need better financial/market research," AlphaSense. If the gap is "we need a marketing decision engine," inMOLA.

When enterprises run both

AlphaSense stays the financial/market research search layer for finance, IR, strategy and equity research. inMOLA stays the marketing decision engine for CMO, brand/performance leaders and specialists.

Different stakeholders, different budgets, different decisions. They coexist comfortably in large enterprises.
