## ChartMill

**Technical-plus-fundamental screener with 0–10 ratings, 302 preset strategy screens and point-in-time historical scanning.**

**Best for:** Swing traders and screen tinkerers who want technicals and fundamentals in one tool with preset strategies of famous investors — and do not need real-time data.

Strengths:
- Composite 0–10 ratings on both the technical and the fundamental side, all usable as screener filters
- Historical screening: run any screen as of a past date — rare in this class
- 302 preset screens modelled on named strategies: CANSLIM, Minervini, Zweig, Lynch and more
- Deep alerting: nine alert types, including saved-screen alerts across a watchlist

Trade-offs:
- All market data is 15 minutes delayed even on paid plans, and most screener fields update once a day
- Free-tier limits are undocumented — the credit-system page was removed from their docs
- European fundamentals cover only Xetra and Euronext; London and Nordic listings are price data only
- No mobile apps, and the standard monthly price is high for delayed data

## Finviz

**Free US stock screener with signature market heatmaps; Elite adds real-time data, alerts and export.**

**Best for:** US-market stock pickers and traders who want the fastest free scan-and-shortlist workflow on the web — and are fine typing a ticker universe that ends at the US border.

Strengths:
- Arguably the widest genuinely free stock screener — all fundamental and technical filters usable without an account
- Signature market visualizations: S&P 500 heatmaps, sector/industry/country groups, insider-trading tracker
- Elite is cheap for what it bundles: real-time quotes, unlimited alerts, full export with API, ETF holdings data
- Vendor-curated signal screens plus up to 200 saved presets make daily scanning fast

Trade-offs:
- US equities only (NASDAQ/NYSE/AMEX) — the vendor's own FAQ says no international expansion is planned
- Free tier is ad-heavy, and export is entirely Elite-gated — the free plan cannot export a single row
- No mobile app at all, and no language besides English
- The Elite backtester was removed (~2023) — third-party reviews that still praise it are stale
