Yahoo Finance
Free screener for stocks, ETFs, funds and futures, no account needed. Paid plans from $7.95 a month, billed yearly.
For someone who screens now and then and doesn't want to pay, Yahoo Finance is a strong place to start: about 80 fundamental fields, RSI and 52-week highs, and 18 ready-made screens, without even signing in. The free plan carries ads. Paid plans are Bronze at $7.95, Silver at $19.95 and Gold at $39.95 a month, all billed yearly. The catch shows when you click Download: the button sits on the free screener, but exporting results, like historical prices, needs Gold at $479.40 a year. The Region filter means where a company is based, not where it trades, and the fair value in Silver is Peter Lynch's one-line formula for US stocks, not a DCF. There is no official API either: Yahoo closed it in 2017, and libraries like yfinance are unofficial.

Best for
Investors who screen occasionally and want neither a bill nor another account. Skip it if you need to export results or build your own formulas: export is Gold-only and there is no formula builder.
Strengths
- About 80 fundamental filters plus RSI(14) on the free plan, usable without signing in
- Separate screeners for stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, indices and futures, with stocks from 56 countries
- iOS app rated 4.75★ by about 628,000 people, with free watchlists and price alerts
Trade-offs
- Exporting screener results or historical prices needs Gold, $479.40 a year
- The fair value is Peter Lynch's formula for US stocks only, and it needs Silver
- No official API since 2017, so tools like yfinance are unofficial
Yahoo Finance vs PortfolioGlance
On anything market-wide Yahoo is ahead: quotes, news and screening, and we have no screener at all. The difference is the portfolio. Yahoo records transactions and dividends, but broker linking works only in the US and return analysis sits in Bronze. We calculate the return across currencies with deposits and dividends counted, for stocks, bonds, cash and property. Follow the market on Yahoo and track the money here.
