Ranked on screening ability alone, which is why we are not first.
This list ranks tools purely on how well they screen. Stock Simplifier is our product and it is not a screener, so it does not top this list. Finviz does, because for finding candidates fast it is genuinely the best of these.
Fast, capable and unusually generous on the free tier, with the clearest market heat map anywhere. For turning thousands of stocks into a shortlist in seconds, nothing here beats it.
Around 700 fundamental metrics with strong portfolio analytics attached. If your screens are sophisticated, this is where they belong.
Screening across 100,000 stocks worldwide, which matters if you invest outside the US.
A global screener with thousands of criteria inside Bloomberg-style dashboards, though the free tier now caps you at two saved screens.
Screening across stocks, futures, options and forex, with a substantial free tier.
Screen and then understand what you found at a glance, across 90 markets.
Not a screener. It answers the question a screener leaves you with: is this shortlisted company actually worth owning? Free plan, no card.
