Questions we keep getting
What's the difference between StockAlert Pro and TradingView?
StockAlert Pro leans toward alerts, calendar, and dividends, while TradingView puts more weight on data visualizations, quant, and screeners. They overlap in 9 categories, so for most people it comes down to workflow preference and price.
How much do StockAlert Pro and TradingView cost?
Good news: both StockAlert Pro and TradingView have free plans, so you can run them side by side and only pay if you hit a wall.
Can I use StockAlert Pro or TradingView on my phone?
TradingView lists a dedicated mobile app, so it travels better. StockAlert Pro doesn't list a dedicated mobile app; its documented access is web and API.
Does StockAlert Pro or TradingView have an API?
StockAlert Pro has an API for programmatic access and custom integrations. TradingView doesn't, so you're working through its interface.
Should I choose StockAlert Pro or TradingView?
It depends on what you're after. Pick StockAlert Pro if APIs & data feeds and playbooks & case studies matter to you; go with TradingView if you'd rather have quant and ETF screeners. And if you only need the basics both share, let price decide.
What asset classes do StockAlert Pro and TradingView cover?
Both cover stocks and ETFs. TradingView adds cryptos, bonds, and commodities on top.
Does StockAlert Pro or TradingView have real-time data?
TradingView offers real-time data, which matters if you trade actively. StockAlert Pro 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.
Can I export data from StockAlert Pro and TradingView?
TradingView exports to CSV. StockAlert Pro is stingier about getting data out.
Is StockAlert Pro or TradingView better for day trading?
TradingView is the one positioned more for active traders. StockAlert Pro is the better fit if you care less about fast trading workflows and more about a calmer research process.
Which has a better stock screener: StockAlert Pro or TradingView?
Both StockAlert Pro and TradingView 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 StockAlert Pro or TradingView?
TradingView handles portfolio tracking. StockAlert Pro 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.
