Our take
The bottom line
Sharpely and YCharts cover a lot of the same ground (6 shared categories, including screeners, data visualizations, and stock comparison), so for the basics you won't go far wrong with either. YCharts simply does more: 20 categories to Sharpely's 9, including alerts, correlation, and risk metrics. Sharpely counters by being completely free.
