## 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

## WallStreetZen

**US stock research site with the Zen Ratings A–F composite, computed DCF fair values and analyst accuracy tracking; free plan for life.**

**Best for:** Part-time US investors who want an opinionated rating plus a computed fair value at a low price — not global coverage or power tools.

Strengths:
- Zen Ratings composite (115 factors, 7 component grades) is free on virtually every US-listed stock
- Computes its own DCF fair value per stock — it does not stop at analyst price targets
- Measures and ranks analysts by historical accuracy; follow up to 200 of them
- Cheap entry: $1 two-week trial, about $234 per year, 90-day money-back guarantee

Trade-offs:
- US-listed stocks only, stocks only (no ETF screening), and web only — no mobile app
- Users have caught glaring ownership-data glitches (institutional ownership above 100%)
- Heavy gating: most columns show “Unlock” until you pay, and add-on newsletters reach $997 per year
- Marketing overstates reach — “thousands more globally” copy against a product that screens four US venues
