Our verdict

Yahoo Finance is the free starting point for many investors: quotes, news, charts and portfolios for stocks around the world. We opened its quote pages for US, London, Xetra and Dubai stocks.

Paid plans are split into three tiers. Bronze (USD 7.95 a month billed yearly) adds portfolio tools and removes ads. Silver adds premium stock ratings, research, fair value analysis and dividend scores. Gold adds premium charts, smart screeners and up to 40 years of exportable financial data.

Gold has a 7-day free trial, but cancelled plans are not refunded. Check which tier has the feature you want before paying.
