A screener filters thousands of stocks down to a short list, for example "dividend yield above 3% and low debt". This list only includes tools with a stock screener confirmed on their official pages.
Each tool gets an overall score out of 5 from 4 sub-scores: research depth (29%), features and data (35%), value for money (18%) and ease of use (18%). Facts come from official pages. We only use facts we could confirm there. The order updates when prices or features change.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you subscribe through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. We score every tool on the same published criteria, using facts from official pages and our own testing. How we make money. This page is general information, not personal investment advice.

Research depth: No own rating or fair value; DCF Modeling is a model you fill in yourself, so valuation counts half. Equity Research includes Morningstar analyst reports and AI-generated reports on both plans, plus earnings call transcripts with AI summaries (v103: analysis 1.5, a large human analyst library that is licensed, not its own). Very deep history: 15 years on Pro, 20+ years and 40+ quarters on Max, plus segment and KPI data for 2,500+ companies.
Ease of use (Our rating): Clean light layout with the same tabs on every company page, seen in Kai's own account screens (2 Nov 2026). Tables are dense and use terms such as LTM and EV/EBITDA, which take beginners time.
The overall score combines these criteria with our own testing of each tool. How we score

How we score
4 sub-scores with published weights. 3 use a fixed rule on facts from official pages; ease of use is our rating, updated when we test the tool. Full methodology.
Original insight rather than republished data: its own ratings or scores, its own fair value or valuation model, original written analysis or analyst coverage, and years of financial history.
Rule: Own ratings or scores (0 to 2) + own fair value model (1, or 0.5 for a valuation grade only) + original analysis (0 to 2) + financial history (20+ years 1, 10 years 0.75, less 0.4): score = 1 + 4 x (points / 6). Tools that mainly republish other providers' data or analyst forecasts score lower.
The capabilities this job needs, as confirmed on official pages.
Rule: Counts screener, ratings or fair value, charts, alerts, data export: score = 1 + 4 x (confirmed / 5).
What the cheapest paid plan costs, and whether you can try it free or get a refund.
Rule: 60% price (Cheapest paid plan at its lowest regular price per month (yearly billing if offered, first-year offers ignored): USD 10 or less = 5, up to 20 = 4, up to 35 = 3, up to 60 = 2, over 60 = 1) and 40% free plan, trial or refund (Free plan plus free trial of a paid plan = 5, free plan only = 4, no free plan but a free trial or money-back guarantee = 2, neither = 1).
Clear layout, plain explanations and how quickly a new investor finds their way.
