Portfolio123

Portfolio123 combines stock and ETF screens, ranking systems, point-in-time backtests, portfolio tracking, broker links, DataMiner, and API access.

Quartr

Quartr provides earnings calls, live transcripts, filings, reports, decks, estimates, AI chat, and investor-relations data. The app is useful for free call and transcript access; Pro and API serve professional research, MCP, webhooks, and integrations.

Revolut (Invest)

Revolut Invest puts stocks, ETFs, bonds, crypto, commodities, alerts, news, and basic portfolios inside the Revolut app where available. It suits existing customers and beginners; fees, products, Trading Pro, and robo features vary by country, entity, and plan.

Seeking Alpha

Seeking Alpha combines market news, contributor research, Quant Ratings, analyst ratings, portfolio alerts, screens, and earnings transcripts. It is useful for idea generation and monitoring. Premium and PRO add deeper research, AI summaries, full transcripts, factor grades, and portfolio tools.

Simply Wall St

Simply Wall St provides visual company reports, fair value estimates, dividend analysis, portfolio checks, broker imports, and global stock ideas. It suits long-term investors who prefer guided research to raw tables.

Stock Analysis

Stock Analysis combines screeners, financial statements, calendars, news, charts, forecasts, watchlists, and portfolios on web and mobile. Paid plans add longer history, higher limits, exports, ETF holdings, broker sync, and analyst filters. The service does not provide brokerage execution, advice, or programmatic data access.

Stockopedia

Stockopedia combines StockRanks, StockReports, GuruScreens, factor-style screens, Folios, alerts, and exports across selected regions. It suits disciplined Quality, Value, and Momentum research, not brokerage execution or API-based data delivery.

TIKR

TIKR is a browser equity-research terminal for global fundamentals, statements, estimates, valuation, transcripts, filings, and screens. It suits long-term stock research; paid plans add history, coverage, exports, and higher workflow limits.

TipRanks

TipRanks combines analyst ratings, targets, expert rankings, Smart Score, AI analysis, news sentiment, insider signals, hedge-fund activity, and portfolios. It is useful for comparing market views quickly, with Premium and Ultimate adding deeper expert, portfolio, export, and AI tools.

TradingView

TradingView combines charts, screeners, alerts, Pine Script, paper trading, and broker connections across many asset classes. Basic is free. Paid plans raise chart, indicator, alert, watchlist, history, and portfolio limits. Some real-time exchange data costs extra.

Uncle Stock

Uncle Stock screens more than 100,000 global stocks with financial metrics, valuation models, scores, historical tests, watchlists, and alerts. Gold adds CSV and JSON access, an MCP server, and limited portfolio tracking. It is not a broker or an intraday trading simulator.

13F Insight

13F Insight pulls institutional holdings, insider trades, and ownership filings into one research workspace. Its AI can answer questions with filing citations, but the filings arrive late and the generated summaries still need a check against the SEC documents.

AJ Bell

AJ Bell offers UK dealing, ISA, LISA, junior, trust, company, and pension accounts. It suits investors who want many wrappers and long-term administration, with percentage charges, capped custody, £5 share trades, £1.50 fund trades, and tiered FX.

Alpha Spread

Alpha Spread combines DCF and relative-value estimates, stock reports, screens, alerts, analyst forecasts, watchlists, and a company-question assistant. Free use is metered weekly.

AlphaSense

AlphaSense is a research system for institutional investors, strategy teams, consultants, investor-relations teams, and corporate researchers. It searches broker research, expert transcripts, filings, news, financial data, and private documents. Annual pricing is handled by sales.

AUM 13F

AUM 13F is a low-cost filing research app for asset managers, institutional holdings, private funds, real-estate managers, and LP relationships. It brings together AUM, 13F holdings, EDGAR, IAPD, CAFR-sourced portfolios, source links, and alerts. The underlying filings are still delayed and incomplete.

Barron's

Barron's combines Dow Jones market reporting with stock ideas, portfolio coverage, newsletters, mobile reading, and a market-data area for quotes, funds, bonds, commodities, currencies, and crypto. It works best as an editorial research subscription, not as a broker or modeling terminal. Promotions and premium add-ons can change the price.

Benzinga

Benzinga is a real-time market-news and trading-data service for active traders, investors, developers, and data buyers. It covers alerts, scanners, calendars, squawk, options activity, analyst actions, filings, transcripts, and APIs. Real-time tools require a paid plan or add-on, and Benzinga does not provide portfolio accounting.

Bloomberg (Europe)

Bloomberg Europe is the regional Bloomberg.com newsroom and app experience. It offers European and global business reporting, market snapshots, watchlists, alerts, TV, radio, podcasts, newsletters, and Businessweek. It is a media subscription, not Bloomberg Terminal, execution, or institutional data access.

BMO InvestorLine

BMO InvestorLine is BMO's Canadian self-directed brokerage with web and mobile trading, research, registered accounts, and linked BMO funding. Standard stock and ETF trades cost $9.95, active traders may pay $3.95, and selected ETFs can be commission-free. FX and low-balance fees still affect the total cost.

Börsdata

Börsdata gives investors long-history Nordic fundamentals, ratios, screens, ownership, insider and short-selling data, technical charts, reports, watchlists, calendars, and spreadsheet or API access. It is strongest for Nordic equities. Global data, holdings, Excel or Sheets workflows, and the REST API depend on the plan.

BUX

BUX is an app-first European broker available in eight countries. It supports whole and fractional shares and commission-free monthly Investment Plan purchases. The three plans change the monthly fee, asset charge, order types, FX markup, and cash interest, so the cheapest headline plan is not always the cheapest account.

BuySide Digest - Hedge Fund Letter Database

BuySide Digest is a free searchable collection of hedge-fund letters, manager commentary, tickers, themes, quarters, 13F context, and investment pitches. It is useful for qualitative idea work and alerts when new letters appear. The documents are public, delayed, and opinions rather than live signals.

Cbonds

Cbonds is a bond-data service for professional and private investors. Search bonds, quotes, yields, ratings, new issues, events, watchlists, and portfolios. Companies can also license API and file feeds or an Excel add-in.

CEO.CA

CEO.CA combines Canadian small-cap chat rooms with market data for TSX, TSXV, and CSE issuers. It offers watchlists, news, SEDI insider filings, private placements, mobile access, and paid Level II depth. Community posts are leads, not research, and Pro pricing varies by exchange coverage.

Chaikin Analytics

Chaikin Analytics centers on the Power Gauge rating and combines stock and ETF research, market analysis, newsletters, model portfolios, tactical publications, and money-flow ideas. It suits investors who want fundamental, technical, and money-flow signals together. Access and price depend on the publication.

Charles Schwab

Charles Schwab combines a U.S. brokerage, research, screeners, tax workflows, thinkorswim, paper trading, alerts, market data, and Trader API access. It suits investors who want one regulated account for long-term investing and active trading. It is a broker, not an open market-data API.

ChartMill

ChartMill is a browser screener and charting service for U.S., Canadian, and European stocks and some ETFs. It supports technical and fundamental screens, swing-trading ideas, watchlists, alerts, dashboards, ratings, and strategy templates. It is still a research tool, not a broker or full portfolio ledger.

ChartsMaze

ChartsMaze combines Indian stock screeners, market breadth, sector and industry analytics, watchlists, and official Relative Rotation Graphs. The permanent free tier excludes RRG, but a partner-linked 14-day Premium trial is available without a card.

CIBC Investor's Edge

CIBC Investor's Edge is CIBC's Canadian bank brokerage with web and mobile trading, research, registered accounts, and linked-bank funding. Standard stock and ETF trades cost $6.95, active traders may pay $4.95, and selected ETFs can be commission-free. Options, FX, and account fees add to the real cost.

CommSec

CommSec is Commonwealth Bank's Australian self-directed broker. Domestic shares are CHESS-sponsored, while international trades use a separate custodied account. Domestic costs vary by settlement method, and international orders add market-based brokerage plus 0.55% FX.

Danelfin

Danelfin scores stocks and ETFs from 1 to 10 based on its estimate of three-month market outperformance. Use the score, rankings, screens, alerts, and API for idea generation. It is a signal layer, not a complete investment process.

Delta by eToro

Delta by eToro is a read-only tracker for stocks, ETFs, funds, crypto, NFTs, forex, commodities, indices, brokers, exchanges, and wallets. Use it to see several accounts in one place. It adds visibility, not another trading venue.

Dividend.com

Dividend.com helps income investors find and compare dividend-paying stocks, ETFs, funds, REITs, MLPs, and preferreds. It combines research, ratings, screens, watchlists, and ex-dividend dates. It is a research site, not a broker or portfolio accounting system.

E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley

E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley covers taxable, retirement, custodial, trust, estate, and business accounts. It offers $0 online U.S.-listed stock and ETF trades, Power E*TRADE, options, mutual funds, bonds, research, selected fractional securities, and tax or transfer support. Its standard cash sweep pays 0.01% APY below $500,000.

Earnings Whispers

Earnings Whispers focuses on the gap between reported results and market expectations. It provides whisper estimates, calendars, sentiment, grades, options context, and post-earnings drift signals. Use it to frame an earnings setup, not to predict a guaranteed move.

EPSMomentum

EPSMomentum focuses on earnings momentum and entry timing. It combines estimate revisions, post-earnings drift, timing signals, scanners, AI analysis, and market dashboards for U.S. stocks and ETFs.

ETF Action

ETF Action is a professional ETF research and model-building service. It covers classification, look-through holdings, overlap, flows, model portfolios, 13F screens, exports, and enterprise data workflows. It is for teams that need more than a free quote page.

ETF Central

ETF Central is a free site for screening, comparing, monitoring, and learning about U.S.-listed ETFs. It includes flows, news, a 100-ETF watchlist, model portfolios, and a portfolio builder.
