Quilty Space (formerly Quilty Analytics) is a respected space industry research firm delivering premium analyst reports and custom research. SpaceNexus is a self-service intelligence platform with real-time data, interactive tools, and AI-powered insights. Two different approaches to space industry intelligence — here is how they compare.
Quilty Space excels at deep, analyst-driven research reports for institutional clients who need citable, boardroom-ready analysis. SpaceNexus is a self-service platform with real-time data, interactive dashboards, daily AI insights, and broader coverage across launches, satellites, procurement, and company profiles — at a fraction of the cost. If you need a polished research report for investors, Quilty delivers. If you need an always-on intelligence platform, SpaceNexus is the better fit.

Research reports are valuable, but the space industry moves fast. By the time a quarterly report lands on your desk, the data may already be stale. SpaceNexus provides a fundamentally different approach:
SpaceNexus and Quilty Space serve different purposes and can complement each other well. Organizations with larger budgets often use both:
Track launches, monitor satellites, discover procurement opportunities, research companies, and stay current with real-time data every day.
Commission deep research reports for board presentations, investment decisions, M&A due diligence, and market entry strategies.
SpaceNexus delivers always-on space industry intelligence with interactive dashboards, AI-powered analysis, and data from NASA, NOAA, SAM.gov, and 50+ feeds — starting at free.
