Free access is useful but ad-supported and limited; Pro and Unlimited add broader history, saved screeners, alerts, exports, full ETF holdings, broker sync, advanced analyst filtering, and higher watchlist or download limits. It is not a broker, advisory service, portfolio accounting system, public API, custom quant platform, or data redistribution source.

It is strongest for valuation-led research: screens can lead into normalized financials, DCF and comparable-company models, dividend and earnings trackers, peer charts, and exportable model templates.

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).
