Beginner Investing Tools

205 tools welcome new investors

Every pick here stays approachable on day one—clear onboarding, guided workflows, and plain-language explainers that keep you from stalling out. These tools cover the core jobs: tracking the market, finding ideas, understanding filings, and sizing positions without requiring a CFA to get started.

Use this list as your launchpad, then branch into deeper categories as your reps increase. I keep the beginner roster pruned so you can focus on tools that build good habits instead of gimmicks.

175 of these platforms offer a usable free tier—keep costs low while you explore workflows.

About Me

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I'm an independent investor with a soft spot for coding and the stock market - especially value investing (as you can probably tell from the tools I've collected here, haha). Hopefully you'll find something useful or interesting along the way.

Find me here:

Got questions or suggestions? I'm all ears!

Starred Tools

These are my top picks. Tools I've tested thoroughly and found to be excellent. They do their job really well, and I use them a lot. If you're not already familiar with them, I highly recommend checking them out.

Tested Tools

These are tools I've tried and found to be solid, but not standout. Think of them as passing an initial quality screen: worth exploring, though not all will be exceptional.

Curation & Accuracy

This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
