Buyer's guide
8 Best Finviz Alternatives in 2026
Finviz Elite is excellent if you want raw filter fields and you build your own thesis from the data. It's less useful if you want a synthesised composite score, an audit-able public scorecard, or specialised feeds like Congressional trades and 13F holdings. Here are the 8 alternatives we've actually used, ranked by what each does best.
Methodology at the bottom. We rank Tapeline #1 because we built it — and explain exactly why we'd still pick a competitor for the workflows where they win.

#1Tapeline
Free · $24.99/mo Pro · $39.99/mo Premium (annual)Best for: Multi-factor composite scoring with public formula + scorecard
Pros
- ✓Public 6-factor formula with exact weights
- ✓Public scorecard back-checking every top-10 pick vs SPY
- ✓Plain-English Why on every row
- ✓Congressional trades + elite 13F holdings on Premium
- ✓14-day Premium trial, no credit card
Tradeoffs
- ×Younger brand — pre-launch in 2026
- ×~2,500 actively scored tickers (top by $-volume), not the full 9,000+ Finviz indexes
- ×No raw-filter screener with 60+ technical fields
Verdict: If your reason for using Finviz is 'I want a synthesised picture of which names are worth looking at this week', Tapeline is the upgrade — the score does the synthesis Finviz makes you do manually.
#2TradingView
Free · ~$15/mo Essential · $30/mo Plus · $60/mo PremiumBest for: Charting, community ideas, asset breadth
Pros
- ✓Best-in-class HTML5 charting + Pine Script studies
- ✓60M+ user community with public ideas feed
- ✓Equities + crypto + FX + futures + bonds globally
- ✓Free tier is genuinely usable
Tradeoffs
- ×No composite scoring — you build conviction from indicators
- ×Stock screener is functional but not the focus
- ×No first-party performance log on screener results
Verdict: If you live in charts and crowdsourced setups, TradingView replaces Finviz entirely. Pair with Tapeline for the scoring layer it doesn't try to provide.
#3Trade Ideas
~$120/mo Standard · $240/mo PremiumBest for: Intraday day-trading + AI auto-execution
Pros
- ✓Sub-second intraday signal cadence
- ✓Holly AI auto-trader executes via integrated brokerages
- ✓OddsMaker custom strategy backtester
- ✓Built for active multi-monitor day-trading
Tradeoffs
- ×Holly AI is a proprietary black-box ML model — no published formula
- ×Pricing is 5x most peers; entry tier alone is $120/mo
- ×Desktop-first; mobile experience is limited
Verdict: Right tool if you're an active intraday trader and AI auto-execution is on the table. Overkill (and overpriced) for swing/positional traders looking for daily ranking.
#4Koyfin
Free · ~$39/mo PlusBest for: Bloomberg-style data terminal at retail pricing
Pros
- ✓Institutional-quality fundamentals dashboards
- ✓Deep macro module (rates, FX, commodities, FOMC)
- ✓Multi-line, multi-axis custom-formula charting
- ✓Free tier covers most lookup needs
Tradeoffs
- ×Not a scanner — no composite score, no signal labels, no ranked output
- ×Workflow is dive-deep-on-one-name, not surface-which-names
- ×No published track record
Verdict: Closest retail-priced alternative to a Bloomberg Terminal. Pair with a scanner like Tapeline, not a replacement for one.
#5Stock Rover
Free · $7.99/mo Essentials · $17.99/mo Premium · $27.99/mo Premium Plus (annual)Best for: Long-term fundamental investors + portfolio analytics
Pros
- ✓650+ fundamental metrics across 8,500+ stocks
- ✓Strong portfolio analytics and benchmarking
- ✓Equity research reports included on Premium tiers
- ✓Long histories for fundamental ratios
Tradeoffs
- ×Fundamental-investor lean — sparse intraday signals
- ×UI feels dated next to 2026-built tools
- ×No live composite scoring
Verdict: Best Finviz alternative for buy-and-hold fundamental investors who want a portfolio analytics layer. Less suitable for active swing traders.
#6Stockanalysis.com
Free · $24.50/mo Pro (annual)Best for: Free fundamental data + free screener
Pros
- ✓Genuinely useful free tier with full screener access
- ✓Clean fundamental data tables (income, balance, cash flow)
- ✓ETF and IPO data included
- ✓Pro tier removes ads and unlocks export
Tradeoffs
- ×No composite scoring or signal labels
- ×No real-time intraday update cadence
- ×No first-party scorecard
Verdict: Best free Finviz alternative. If you only need a basic screener and fundamental data, you don't need to pay anyone.
#7Simply Wall St
Free · ~$10/mo Pro · ~$20/mo Premium (annual)Best for: Visual long-term investing analysis (the 'Snowflake')
Pros
- ✓Distinctive Snowflake visual showing 5 axes of analysis
- ✓Strong long-term valuation orientation (DCF-led)
- ✓Globally covers 90+ exchanges
- ✓Cheap entry tier
Tradeoffs
- ×Long-term investor lean — not a daily/weekly scanner
- ×Snowflake methodology has shifted over time without strong public changelog
- ×Limited intraday utility
Verdict: Pick Simply Wall St if you're a long-term investor doing fundamental due diligence. Pick Tapeline if you want a daily multi-factor synthesis with a public scorecard.
#8Zacks
~$21/mo Premium (annual, $249/yr)Best for: Earnings-revision-driven daily ranks + traditional research
Pros
- ✓37-year track record on the Zacks Rank #1-#5 system
- ✓Strong analyst report library and equity research
- ✓Established brand with broad institutional acceptance
Tradeoffs
- ×Proprietary opaque-weighted ranking system
- ×Once-daily update cadence
- ×No per-pick public scorecard with original thesis preserved
Verdict: Pick Zacks if 37 years of brand history outweighs everything else and you want the curated equity research library. Pick Tapeline if transparency, speed, and per-pick accountability matter more.
How we ranked them
Five weighted criteria: transparency of methodology (does the formula exist publicly?); data freshness (intraday vs once-daily); evidence of performance (per-pick scorecard, aggregate stats, or none); workflow completeness (screening through to per-ticker pages, alerts, and watchlists); and value at the entry price.
We ranked Tapeline #1 because it's the only tool that combines a public composite formula with a per-pick public scorecard — the two transparency criteria. We were honest in every section about which competitor wins for which workflow: we'd rather you pick TradingView for charting or Trade Ideas for intraday than churn out of the wrong tool in three months.

Frequently asked
What's the closest free alternative to Finviz Elite?
+
Stockanalysis.com offers the closest free experience — full screener access without a paywall, fundamental data tables, and ETF/IPO coverage. Tapeline's free tier covers the top 20 tickers with 24-hour delay. TradingView's free tier covers charting and a basic screener. None of these match Finviz Elite's 60+ raw screener fields, but each is honest about what it provides.
Why isn't Finviz the right tool for everyone?
+
Finviz Elite is excellent for traders who want raw screener filters and build their own thesis from the data. It's less useful for traders who want a synthesised composite score per ticker, a plain-English explanation of why each name ranks where it does, or an audit-able public scorecard of historical picks. The right alternative depends on which job you were hiring Finviz to do.
Which Finviz alternative offers a public scorecard?
+
Tapeline is the only tool on this list that auto-publishes every top-10 daily pick with the realized next-day return vs SPY at /scorecard. Most competitors report aggregate statistics (e.g., 'historical Rank #1 returns'); few preserve every individual call with original context for accountability.
How was this list ranked?
+
The ranking weighs five things: transparency of methodology, freshness of data, evidence of past performance, completeness of the workflow (from screening to alerts to per-ticker pages), and value at the price. Tapeline ranks #1 because it's the only tool that combines a public composite formula with a per-pick public scorecard — but the right tool for you depends on whether your workflow needs charting (TradingView), institutional data (Koyfin), or AI auto-execution (Trade Ideas).
Is there a Finviz alternative that beats it on raw screener filter count?
+
Stock Rover offers more fundamental fields (650+) than Finviz; TradingView's screener is comparably broad on technicals. Few tools target raw filter count as a feature — most modern alternatives focus on synthesis or specialised data (smart money, congressional trades, alternative-data signals). If raw filter count is the deciding factor, stay on Finviz Elite — none of these tools is trying to win that comparison.
