Best Finviz Alternatives in 2026 (Free and Paid)

I use Finviz most weeks. The screener is fast, the filter set is unusually well designed, and the heatmap is the single best free visualization of a market day that exists on the internet. I am not here to tell you to stop using it.

I am here to describe the specific shape of what it does not do, because that shape is why people search for alternatives in the first place.

Where the screener stops

Finviz is a discovery tool. It is very good at answering "which stocks currently look like X." It is not built to answer "what is happening to the eleven stocks I already own, and why."

That gap shows up in a few concrete ways.

The free tier is deliberately constrained. Quotes are 15-minute delayed. The screener shows 20 rows per page. Portfolios cap at 50 tickers. Financial statements go back 3 years. Those are not bugs, they are the fence around Finviz Elite, which as of August 2026 is $39.50 per month or $299.50 per year with a 7-day trial. Elite lifts those to real-time data with premarket and after-hours, 100 rows per page, 500 tickers per portfolio, 8 years of statements, unlimited alerts, correlated stocks, and CSV and API export.

The portfolio is a list, not an account. You type tickers in. Nothing syncs. If you hold positions at Fidelity, Schwab, and a 401k, Finviz has no idea, and no idea what you paid.

The fundamentals are a snapshot. The company page is a dense and useful table, but it is a picture of right now. It does not carry the filing text underneath it, and it does not keep a record of what changed.

There is no tax layer. No cost basis, no lot-level view, no wash sale awareness.

None of that is a criticism of Finviz. A screener that also did all of those things would be a worse screener. But it does mean most people need a second tool. Here are the ones worth your time.

1. TradingView, if the gap is charting

TradingView is the obvious complement rather than a replacement. Charting, drawing tools, indicators, and alerting are in a different class, and the community scripts library is enormous.

As of August 2026 the plans are Free, Essential at $12.95 per month, Plus at $29.95, Premium at $59.95, and Ultimate at $199.95, with 30-day trials on the middle tiers. The free plan is more usable than most free plans, with the tradeoff being ads, fewer indicators per chart, and fewer alerts.

Good at: charts, alerts, multi-asset coverage, a screener that is decent if not Finviz-fast. Weak at: deep fundamental screening, anything portfolio or tax related.

2. stockanalysis.com, if the gap is fundamentals

The best free thing in this category right now. Clean company pages, long financial history, a screener that covers the ground Finviz covers on fundamentals, and no login required for most of it.

Pro is $9.99 per month or $79 per year, and an Unlimited tier runs $16.58 per month billed annually, which removes the watchlist size, download, and alert caps. Even unpaid, it will replace most of what you use Finviz's fundamental tabs for.

Good at: free fundamentals, speed, breadth of listed companies. Weak at: charting, real-time data, anything visual.

3. Koyfin, if you want the institutional-style view

Koyfin is the closest retail-priced thing to a professional dashboard. Custom dashboards, macro and rates data, estimates, transcripts, and a screener that goes considerably deeper than Finviz on financial history.

The free tier gives 2 years of financials, 2 watchlists, 2 screens, and 2 custom dashboards. Plus is $39 per month and Premium is $79, with advisor tiers above that at $209 and $299. The step from free to Plus is where 10 years of financials and estimates, global coverage, filings, and transcripts unlock.

Good at: macro context, custom dashboards, estimates, breadth. Weak at: the learning curve is real, and the free tier is a demo more than a tool. We wrote a fuller breakdown in Best Koyfin Alternatives if you want the other direction of that comparison.

4. Stock Rover, if you want screening plus portfolio analytics

Stock Rover has been around a long time and is the most underrated tool on this list for people who want screening and portfolio analysis in the same window. It connects to brokerages for holdings import, runs deep fundamental screens with a large metric library, and does portfolio-level correlation and future income projections.

The interface looks like it was designed in 2011, because it largely was. Coverage is North America focused. Pricing has several tiers plus research report bundles, and it changes often enough that I will not quote a number here. As of August 2026, check their pricing page directly.

Good at: the screener-plus-portfolio combination almost nobody else does. Weak at: looks, charting, non-US coverage.

5. Barchart, if you screen technicals or trade options and futures

Barchart's technical screening, options data, and futures coverage go well past Finviz, and the free tier is more generous than people expect. If your screens are built on unusual options activity, implied volatility, or futures spreads, this is the one.

Membership tiers exist at free, Plus, and Premier levels. I could not verify current prices from their own site while writing this, so check barchart.com directly rather than trusting a number in a blog post, including this one.

Good at: options, futures, technical screens, commodities. Weak at: it is sprawling, and the free tier is heavily interrupted.

6. TrendSpider, if you want the screening automated

TrendSpider automates technical analysis: trendlines drawn algorithmically, multi-timeframe scanning, strategy backtesting, and alerting that fires on conditions rather than prices. It is aimed at people who trade patterns systematically.

It is also the most aggressively discounted product I looked at, with promotional monthly rates well below list. Because those promos rotate, I am not quoting a figure. Look at their pricing page as of the day you are reading this.

Good at: automation, backtesting, alert logic. Weak at: fundamentals, and it is priced for active traders rather than long-term holders.

7. Helm Terminal, if the gap is what happens after you buy

I built Helm, so read this section with that in mind. It is not a screener and it will not replace Finviz. It solves the part of the problem that starts once a position is already in your account.

Helm connects every brokerage account you have through Plaid, so your real holdings and cost basis are in one place instead of a manually typed list. Then it reads SEC filings and market reporting against the reasons you own each position, and flags it when the evidence turns against one, quoting the source document verbatim with its date and a link back. Not a score, not a signal, the actual sentence from the actual 10-K.

It also computes tax-loss harvesting candidates across all of your accounts at once, which any single brokerage structurally cannot do because it can only see its own share of your money.

The free tier includes the full terminal, brokerage sync, AI analysis on any US ticker, and one tracked thesis with twelve months of evidence. Pro is $20 per month after a 14-day trial that requires a card, and it watches every position you own.

Good at: monitoring what you already hold, source-linked evidence, cross-account tax math. Weak at: finding new ideas. There is no market-wide screener and no heatmap. If discovery is your job to be done, Finviz is the better tool and I would keep using it.

The stack I would build

Most people searching for a Finviz alternative do not need a replacement. They need a second tool covering a different stage.

If the frustration is delayed quotes and 20-row pages, the honest answer is that Finviz Elite is the cheapest fix and you should just buy it. If the frustration is charts, add TradingView's free plan. If it is fundamental depth, add stockanalysis.com and pay nothing. If it is that your actual portfolio lives in three brokerages and nothing is watching it, that is a different category of tool, and worth reading How to Track Multiple Brokerage Accounts before you buy anything.

The stack that covers the most ground for the least money is Finviz free for screening and the heatmap, TradingView free for charts, and stockanalysis.com free for fundamentals. That is $0 and it beats a lot of $50 per month products.

Helm is not a registered investment adviser and nothing here is investment or tax advice. Prices listed were checked on August 10, 2026 and change without much warning, so verify on each provider's own page before you buy.
