Comparison
RealQuant vs Endex AI
Both tools bring AI to Excel. Only one was built by a team that deployed $11B+ in institutional real estate.
Endex AI is a powerful Excel AI agent for general finance, backed by OpenAI with deep integrations into CapIQ and FactSet. However, it has zero CRE-specific capabilities: no OM extraction, no rent roll parsing, no understanding of cap rates or waterfall structures. RealQuant is the only Excel AI platform purpose-built for commercial real estate acquisitions teams, combining document intelligence with Excel-native modeling in a single workflow.

Key Differences
Domain expertise
Endex is built for horizontal finance. RealQuant is built for CRE. Ask Endex to parse a multifamily OM or build a waterfall with a 70/30 promote above a 12% IRR hurdle, and it will struggle. RealQuant does this natively.
Document intelligence
Endex supports document uploads for context. RealQuant has purpose-built document processing that extracts structured data from OMs, rent rolls, and T-12s, then feeds it directly into your Excel model with cell-level citations.
Data integrations
Endex has direct CapIQ and FactSet integrations for public market data. RealQuant connects to CRE-specific data sources and market comps relevant to real estate underwriting.
Workflow approach
Endex focuses on accelerating individual modeling tasks. RealQuant provides an end-to-end intelligence layer from document ingestion through modeling to automation and portfolio analytics.
