## 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

## TradingView

**Global charting platform with screeners for stocks, ETFs and crypto; Pine Script powers custom screens, backtests and alerts.**

**Best for:** Chart-first traders and technically minded investors screening any market in the world — especially anyone willing to write a little Pine Script to make the screener match their exact system.

Strengths:
- Broadest screening universe in the category: six screener types and multi-region stock screening across global exchanges
- Pine Script ecosystem — custom indicators and strategies, server-side backtesting, 150k+ community scripts, and screening on your own code
- Best-in-class alerts: price/technical/watchlist families, multi-condition logic, up to 1,000 concurrent alerts
- Excellent, hugely popular mobile apps and a 19-language interface
- Genuine free-forever plan with the screener included

Trade-offs:
- No public data API at all, by the vendor's own statement — automation means the browser or nothing
- Users report patchy fundamental data outside US large caps — worth cross-checking before trusting a non-US fundamental screen
- Custom metrics require writing Pine Script, and screening on them needs Premium or higher
- Recurring pricing complaints — top tiers are expensive and aggressive discount sales undercut list-price trust
