Short answer
Finviz is the best stock screener for most US investors in 2026: its free screener saves 50 presets, and Elite adds real-time data, alerts and CSV export for $24.96 a month billed annually, as of November 2026. TradingView suits traders who screen global markets across 150+ exchanges, Stock Rover suits long-term investors who screen on 300+ metrics for $348 a year, and Stock Analysis is the cheapest paid option at $79 a year. Day traders who need streaming scans should look at Trade Ideas, from $1,068 a year.
This list is for investors and traders who want to filter thousands of stocks by valuation, growth, dividends or price action instead of checking tickers one by one. We compared documented features and published prices for 8 stock screeners sold today; we did not test them by hand. Scores weigh quality at 40%, experience at 25% and value at 35%. Quality covers market coverage, the number of filters and metrics, history depth, real-time data and alerts; experience covers the free tier, setup and how fast a screen can be built; value weighs entry prices and plan limits. Prices come from each vendor's own pages as shown in USD on November 14, 2026. Zacks, Seeking Alpha, Morningstar Investor and Barchart were left out because their pricing pages did not load for our source checker.

Free plan; Elite $24.96 a month billed annually ($299.50 a year) or $39.50 billed monthly
Quoted from the Finviz pricing page on November 14, 2026:
After the offer period, Finviz Elite returns to $24.96/mo (billed annually) or $39.50/mo (billed monthly).
Finviz ranks first because it pairs a free screener that covers most needs with a low-cost upgrade. The screener groups filters into descriptive, fundamental, technical, news and ETF tabs, and a free registered account saves up to 50 presets and shows 20 rows per page. Elite costs $299.50 a year, or $24.96 a month, and $39.50 on monthly billing. It adds advanced filters, unlimited presets, real-time quotes with premarket and after-hours data, 8 years of financial statements, unlimited alerts when new stocks match a screen, and exports to Excel or CSV. Pages refresh every 10 seconds on Elite, against 3 minutes on the free plan. The limit is coverage: Finviz says it covers NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX only and has no plans to expand. If you buy stocks in London, Toronto or Tokyo, TradingView or Koyfin fit better.
What it does well
- +Free registered account includes the screener with basic filters and 50 saved presets
- +Elite adds real-time quotes plus premarket data from 4 AM and after-hours data until 8:00 PM
- +30-day refund window on Elite on written request
Where it falls short
- −Covers only NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX stocks, with no plans to add other markets
- −Free plan quotes are delayed 1 minute and auto-refresh every 3 minutes
- −Free plan shows 3 years of financial statements, against 8 years on Elite

Free Basic plan; see vendor pricing (USD check pending)
No US price was listed when we checked. See the TradingView pricing page.
TradingView is the pick if your screen has to reach beyond US exchanges. Its pricing page lists stock, ETF and crypto screeners covering 150+ exchanges from 50+ countries with 500+ fundamental and technical fields, and results can switch to a chart view or a heatmap. The Pine Screener lets you scan assets with your own scripts or community scripts, and separate bond and crypto screeners filter by yield, maturity, credit rating or market cap. The free Basic plan includes the core screeners, but it is tight elsewhere: 1 watchlist of 30 symbols and 3 active price alerts. Paid tiers named Essential, Plus, Premium and Ultimate raise those limits, with up to 1,000 price alerts and AI screener requests from 100 to 500. We could not confirm USD prices because the page showed PLN from our location, so check the price in your own currency before you subscribe.
What it does well
- +Free Basic plan includes the stock, ETF and crypto screeners
- +Watchlists can be used as screener filters
- +Paid tiers raise active price alerts from 3 on Basic up to 1,000
Where it falls short
- −Pricing page showed prices in PLN from our location, so USD prices are pending
- −Basic allows 1 watchlist with 30 symbols
- −Pine Screener and data export sit on paid plans

Free plan; Pro $6.58 a month billed annually ($79 a year) or $9.99 billed monthly
Quoted from the Stock Analysis pricing page on November 14, 2026:
It is $79 per year, equivalent to four months free. The monthly plan is $9.99 a month.
Stock Analysis is the cheapest paid screener here and a strong free one. Its Pro plan costs $79 a year, which works out to $6.58 a month, or $9.99 on monthly billing, and it unlocks all data on 150,000+ global stocks and funds. Pro lets you save screeners, pick from 300+ indicators in data tables and view up to 1,000 rows, with 10 to 40 years of financial history and 10 to 50 years of dividend history. It also syncs brokerage holdings into a portfolio and runs up to 100 active alerts. The limits matter for heavy users: 1 download per day and 100 stocks per watchlist, which the $16.58 a month Unlimited plan removes. There is no real-time charting or scanning for day traders, so it suits investors who screen on fundamentals and dividends. A 60-day money back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it.
What it does well
- +$0 free plan with no payment details required
- +60-day money back guarantee on Pro
- +Brokerage sync for portfolios and up to 100 active alerts on Pro
Where it falls short
- −Pro allows 1 download per day to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets
- −Pro caps watchlists at 100 stocks each
- −Unlimited downloads need the Unlimited plan at $16.58 a month billed annually

Free plan; Premium $29 a month billed annually ($348 a year) or $34 billed monthly
Quoted from the Stock Rover pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Regular price $29 Sale price $20 /mo Billed annually at $348/yr
Stock Rover is the most detailed screener for buy-and-hold investors on this list. Premium, at $348 a year or $34 on monthly billing, covers over 8,500 stocks, 7,000+ ETFs and 40,000+ funds, screens on 300+ metrics with 5 years of fundamentals and 10 years of price history, and links portfolios to brokerages. Premium Plus, $49 a month billed annually, adds equation-based, historical and ranked screening, 700+ metrics and research reports on 7,000+ stocks. Ultimate, $79 a month billed annually, adds percentile and OTC screening, 20 years of fundamentals and real-time quotes where available. Every plan has a 14-day trial with no card, and the account falls back to a free plan afterward. The tradeoffs are limits on the entry plan, 15 screeners and 250 rows, and a dense interface built for research rather than fast trading.
What it does well
- +14-day free trial on any plan with no credit card requested
- +Free plan stays available after the trial for basic research
- +2-year billing saves up to 40% against monthly
Where it falls short
- −Premium limits you to 15 saved screeners and 250 rows

Free plan; Plus $39 a month on annual billing
Quoted from the Koyfin pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Plus For investors who need essential tools to analyze portfolios & research stocks $ 39 /month
Koyfin suits investors who want a screener inside a wider research terminal. The free plan includes 2 watchlists, 2 screens, 2 custom dashboards, advanced charting and market and macro dashboards, with 2 years of financials and 1 year of estimates. Plus, listed at $39 a month with the annual option selected, adds the full stock and ETF screener, unlimited watchlists and screens, 10 years of financials and estimates, ETF holdings, 100K+ global company snapshots, and press releases, filings and transcripts. Premium at $79 a month adds unlimited custom data, custom formulas and custom financial templates. The mutual fund screener sits on the Advisor Core plan from $209 a month, so fund-heavy investors pay more. Koyfin offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee with a full refund within 30 days. It costs more than Finviz or Stock Analysis but covers far more global companies.
What it does well
- +Free plan includes 2 watchlists, 2 screens and 2 custom dashboards
- +100% satisfaction guarantee with a refund within 30 days
- +Plus adds press releases, filings and transcripts
Where it falls short
- −Free plan limits financials to 2 years and estimates to 1 year

Free plan; Bronze from $7.95 a month billed yearly; Gold $39.95 a month billed yearly
Quoted from the Yahoo Finance pricing page on November 14, 2026:
Bronze $ 7.95 /mo Billed $95.40 yearly
Yahoo Finance is the easiest step up for investors who already read its quotes and news. The free plan covers markets and business news, and paid plans start with Bronze at $7.95 a month billed yearly, which focuses on portfolio tracking, volatility risk and an ad-free view. Silver at $19.95 a month adds expert stock picks, the Morningstar Rating for stocks and fair value analysis. Gold at $39.95 a month, billed $479.40 yearly, is the screening tier: Yahoo lists the Smart Money Screener, 50+ technical chart patterns, CSV downloads and about 40 years of financial statements there, and its FAQ says Gold adds smart screeners. That makes serious screening more expensive than at Finviz or Stock Rover. Refunds are limited to 14 days after an annual renewal, though Gold has a 7-day free trial.
What it does well
- +Free plan covers market news and data for all investors
- +Yearly billing saves 20%, up to $120 a year
- +7-day free trial on Gold
Where it falls short
- −Bronze focuses on portfolio tools, and the Smart Money Screener is listed under Gold at $39.95 a month
- −No refunds except within 14 days after an annual renewal
- −Gold costs $479.40 a year, more than Finviz Elite or Stock Rover Premium

$24.99 $24.99 /mo * Select $49.99 $49.99 /mo * Select $99.99 $99.99 /mo
TC2000 is built for traders who scan intraday and write their own conditions. Its entry plan at $24.99 a month covers real-time U.S. stock data from Nasdaq Basic, charting, streaming watchlists, news from MT Newswires and paper trading, but real-time scanning and sorting start on the $49.99 plan. That plan adds the EasyScan wizard, Personal Criteria Formulas, history columns, morning pre-buzz and 100 alerts. The $99.99 plan adds market-pulse gauges, live auto-refreshing filters and sorts, and 1,000 alerts, with up to 5 streaming scans at a time. Annual billing gives 2 months free and biennial billing 6 months free, and a 30-day money back guarantee applies. Options and index data are extra at $9.99 a month each. Long-term investors who screen on fundamentals get more from Stock Rover for less.
What it does well

- +Annual billing gives 2 months free and biennial billing gives 6 months free
- +Up to $25 a month off with a TC2000 brokerage account that trades or holds over $30,000

Free dashboard account; TI Standard $89 a month billed yearly ($1,068) or $127 monthly
Quoted from the Trade Ideas pricing page on November 14, 2026:
TI Standard is $127 a month or $1,068 a year.
Trade Ideas is a specialist scanner for intraday traders, and it is priced like one. TI Standard costs $1,068 a year, or $89 a month, and $127 on monthly billing. It adds real-time data, the full-featured Windows app, Channel Bar ready-made scans, custom scans and Top Lists, 500+ alerts and filters, a Formula Editor and an AI Assistant that describes a scan in plain English, plus up to 10 charts and paper trading. Extended-hours data runs from 4:00 am to 8:00 pm ET. TI Premium, $2,136 a year or $254 a month, adds Holly AI buy and sell signals with stops, OddsMaker backtesting and auto trading at supported brokers. A free account opens the browser dashboards on 15-minute delayed data. For long-term investors screening on fundamentals, the price is hard to justify against Finviz or Stock Rover.
What it does well
- +Free account with just an email opens the Web Dashboard on delayed data
- +Monthly plans cancel anytime
- +Hands-on support by email, chat and screen share on paid plans
Where it falls short

Before you pick a product or a plan
Decide between fundamental and real-time screening
Long-term investors filter on valuation, growth and dividends, which Finviz, Stock Rover, Stock Analysis and Koyfin cover well. Traders need scans that update as prices move: TC2000 runs real-time scanning from its $49.99 plan, and Trade Ideas streams alerts on every trade from $1,068 a year. Paying for real-time scans you never watch during market hours is wasted money.
Check which markets are covered
Finviz covers NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX only. TradingView lists 150+ exchanges in 50+ countries, Koyfin lists 100K+ global company snapshots on Plus, and Stock Analysis covers 150,000+ global stocks and funds on Pro. If you buy shares listed outside the US, rule out US-only tools first.
Count saved screens, rows and alerts
Plan limits decide how far a screener scales. Stock Rover Premium allows 15 screeners and 250 rows, Koyfin's free plan allows 2 screens, and TradingView Basic allows 3 active price alerts. Finviz Elite offers unlimited presets and alerts, and Stock Analysis Pro allows 100 active alerts.
Look at history depth and exports
Back-checking a screen needs years of data. Finviz shows 3 years of statements free and 8 on Elite, Stock Rover offers 5 to 20 years by plan, and Yahoo Finance Gold lists about 40 years. If you model in a spreadsheet, check export limits: Stock Analysis Pro allows 1 download per day, while Finviz Elite exports to Excel or CSV.
Use trials and refund windows
Stock Rover offers a 14-day trial with no card, Yahoo Finance Gold a 7-day trial, Stock Analysis a 60-day money back guarantee, and Finviz, Koyfin and TC2000 30-day refund windows. Run your real screen during the trial before paying for a year.

- Finviz is the best stock screener for most US investors as of November 2026. Its free screener saves 50 presets, and Elite adds real-time data, unlimited alerts and exports for $24.96 a month billed annually. TradingView is the better pick for markets outside the US.
- What is the best free stock screener?

- What is the cheapest paid stock screener?
- Stock Analysis Pro is the cheapest paid screener on our list at $79 a year, or $9.99 a month. It unlocks saved screeners, 300+ indicators and data on 150,000+ global stocks and funds, with a 60-day money back guarantee.
- Is Finviz Elite worth it?
