Last reviewed: April 2026
Alpha Factory and Palm Beach Group (by Teeka Tiwari) are both premium crypto research services. The key difference is accountability and tools: Palm Beach Group publishes newsletter picks at $49-5,000+/year with marketing that highlights winners but no complete public track record. Alpha Factory publishes every call — wins and losses — in a date-stamped track record, and includes 20+ AI agents, a DCA simulator, and structured risk frameworks for $33-$49/month. Palm Beach Group relies on Teeka Tiwari's reputation; Alpha Factory relies on verifiable results.
