Our take
The bottom line
QuickFS and TIKR cover a lot of the same ground (2 shared categories, financials and data visualizations), so for the basics you won't go far wrong with either. TIKR simply does more: 18 categories to QuickFS's 4, including screeners, stock ideas, and stock comparison. QuickFS counters by keeping things simpler.

What QuickFS does best
- Official homepage says QuickFS will not relaunch and that the founder introduced FastFS.org to a data vendor that could support a successor with major QuickFS-like features.
- Legacy product offered 20-year history for 200+ standardized metrics and statements across 40,000+ international stocks.
- Legacy Excel add-in used =QFS("ticker","metric","period") to pull data directly into models; Microsoft AppSource listings may still exist but require a QuickFS account and should not be treated as an active standalone service.
- Legacy API and exports covered fundamentals, market data, company metadata, CSV/Excel exports, and bulk downloads; current official homepage does not advertise active API access.
- Ticker format with country suffix (e.g., AAPL:US) and global coverage across U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and more were legacy capabilities.
What TIKR does best
- Research coverage for common stocks through a terminal-style workspace focused on financial statements, ratios, valuation multiples, estimates, filings, transcripts, ownership, news, and watchlists.
- Screening for a global equity universe of more than 100,000 stocks across 92 countries and 136 exchanges using regions, industries, financial metrics, ratios, valuation, forecasts, growth, margins, and other criteria.
- Analysis of company fundamentals with income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, ratio views, chartable line items, peer comparison, and plan-based historical depth.
- Tools for building valuation work with trailing and forward multiples, historical multiple charts, competitor comparisons, guided valuation models, and advanced valuation model settings.
- Review Wall Street estimates for revenue, EBITDA, EPS, and other metrics alongside historical actuals, with deeper forward estimate access on higher tiers.
