Our take
The bottom line
QuickFS and Trendlyne cover a lot of the same ground (3 shared categories, financials, data visualizations, and sheets / excel add-ins), so for the basics you won't go far wrong with either. Trendlyne simply does more: 22 categories to QuickFS's 4, including screeners, analyst forecasts, and analyst ratings & price targets, plus a mobile app. QuickFS counters by keeping things simpler.

Where each one shines
What QuickFS and Trendlyne each do best.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 Trendlyne does best
- Screening for Indian and global stocks with 1,000+ parameters, prebuilt strategies, and screener alerts that become more frequent on higher tiers.
- DVM score to review durability, valuation, and momentum, with historical charts and CSV/XLS export where plan access supports it.
- Backtest strategies and individual stocks, with annual backtest allowances varying materially by plan.
- Review Forecaster consensus estimates for revenue, EPS, profit, dividends, cash flow, capex, and related forecast data.
- Tracking corporate actions and event calendars for India and U.S. markets, including dividends, splits, M&A, board meetings, and alerts.
