Our verdict

Finviz is best known for its fast stock screener. The free version works without logging in: we counted 82 filters, 5 of which need Elite. A free account adds saved presets and portfolios.

Elite costs USD 39.50 a month or USD 299.50 a year and adds real-time data, interactive charts with pattern recognition, alerts, data export and an ad-free layout. There is a free trial (card required) and a refund on written request in the first 30 days.

Finviz covers US markets only (NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX) and says there are no plans to add others.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Good fit if you are

  • US investors who want to filter stocks quickly for free

  • Active investors who want real-time data and alerts (Elite)

Look elsewhere if you are

  • Anyone investing in UK, EU or UAE stocks
  • Beginners who find dense pages hard to read
  • People who want ratings or analysis from the tool itself
