Our take
The bottom line
QuickFS and Wisesheets cover a lot of the same ground (3 shared categories, financials, APIs & data feeds, and sheets / excel add-ins), so for the basics you won't go far wrong with either. Wisesheets simply does more: 10 categories to QuickFS's 4, including screeners, portfolio, and dividends. QuickFS counters by keeping things simpler.

Where each one shines
What QuickFS and Wisesheets 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 Wisesheets does best
- Build stock research models directly in Excel or Google Sheets with WISE, WISEPRICE, WISEFUNDS, and WISEOPTIONS formulas.
- Pull financial statements, key metrics, growth metrics, company profiles, live prices, historical prices, dividends, analyst estimates, and price targets into spreadsheet cells.
- Analyze broad equity universes with advertised coverage across 50+ exchanges and up to 30 years of historical financial data on current paid plans.
- Use range-based formulas to request multiple tickers and metrics at once instead of manually copying company data from websites.
- Research ETFs and funds with WISEFUNDS fields such as expense ratio, NAV, assets under management, and other fund reference data.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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