Questions we keep getting
What's the difference between MoatMap and Stockoscope?
MoatMap leans toward AI research, screeners, and stock ideas, while Stockoscope puts more weight on stock ideas, screeners, and stock comparison. They overlap in 8 categories, so for most people it comes down to workflow preference and price.
How much do MoatMap and Stockoscope cost?
Good news: both MoatMap and Stockoscope have free plans, so you can run them side by side and only pay if you hit a wall.
Which is better for beginners: MoatMap or Stockoscope?
Honestly, neither is aimed at beginners. Expect a learning curve either way; that's the trade-off for the depth they offer.
Should I choose MoatMap or Stockoscope?
It depends on what you're after. Pick MoatMap if AI research and portfolio matter to you; go with Stockoscope if you'd rather have stock comparison and dividends. And if you only need the basics both share, let price decide.
Does MoatMap or Stockoscope have real-time data?
MoatMap offers real-time data, which matters if you trade actively. Stockoscope runs on delayed or end-of-day data, which is perfectly fine for longer-term investors who don't live and die by the tick.
Which covers international markets: MoatMap or Stockoscope?
MoatMap has documented international coverage (North America, Europe, APAC, LatAm, and more), so it's the safer bet if you hold non-US stocks. Stockoscope is more region-specific, mainly North America.
Are MoatMap and Stockoscope good for long-term investing?
Yes, both are aimed squarely at long-term investors. Compare their coverage, workflow, and price before assuming they solve the same long-term research job.
Which has a better stock screener: MoatMap or Stockoscope?
Both MoatMap and Stockoscope include stock screeners, and they differ more in interface than raw power; try both and see which one clicks for you.
Can I track my portfolio with MoatMap or Stockoscope?
MoatMap handles portfolio tracking. Stockoscope is really a research tool; you'd track your portfolio elsewhere.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
