1. Shibui Finance - best for AI-powered time-series screening
Best for: Screening across time with multi-year consistency checks, combining technical and fundamental conditions, event studies, and backtesting criteria that no dropdown menu can express.
Shibui Finance is a free MCP connector that gives Claude direct access to a database of nearly 10,000 US equities going back to 1962. Instead of picking from preset dropdown filters, you describe your criteria in plain English and Claude translates it into a query. That means you can screen for conditions like "net profit margin above 15% in every quarter for the past five years" - 20 separate quarterly checks per company, something no preset screener can express.
The database covers 31 million daily price records, 56 pre-calculated technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages), quarterly and annual financial statements, daily valuation metrics, earnings surprises, and 6.4 million SEC EDGAR filing metadata records. You can combine any of these in a single query: RSI under 30 today AND positive free cash flow every quarter for three years AND current P/E below the stock's own five-year average.
"Find companies where revenue growth accelerated for 4 consecutive quarters, with current market cap above $10B. Show each quarter's growth rate."
Limitations: No visual interface - everything goes through Claude as a text conversation. No real-time or intraday data; end-of-day only. Data is not institutional-grade feeds. US equities only (NYSE and NASDAQ). The database is survivor-biased: delisted tickers are purged, which overstates returns in backtests. Each query returns up to 200 rows.
Price: Free. Requires a Claude account (free or paid plan).
2. TradingView - best for charting and community scripts
Best for: Real-time charting, chart pattern recognition, custom Pine Script strategies, and scanning with community-built indicators.
TradingView is the most widely used charting platform for retail traders. Its screener covers stocks, forex, and crypto with real-time data and roughly 100+ filters across technical and fundamental metrics. The standout feature is Pine Script, a programming language that lets users build custom indicators and backtesting strategies. The community library has thousands of published scripts.
The screener filters on current values and recent technical signals. It handles "RSI below 30 and MACD bullish crossover" well, with visual charts alongside each result. The free tier is usable; paid plans ($14.95-$59.95/month) add more indicators per chart, real-time data, and faster screener scans.
Limitations: The screener filters on current values, not historical sequences. You cannot check whether a condition held consistently over multiple quarters. Fundamental data depth is limited compared to dedicated fundamental screeners. Pine Script has a learning curve - it is a programming language, not plain English.
Price: Free tier available. Essential: $14.95/month. Plus: $29.95/month. Premium: $59.95/month.
3. Koyfin - best for fundamental dashboards
Best for: Institutional-style fundamental research with polished dashboards, 500+ screening metrics, and pre-built financial models.
Koyfin offers a Bloomberg-like interface at a fraction of the price. Its screener provides 500+ metrics with percentile ranks, growth rates, and sector comparisons. The dashboards are polished: financial statements, valuation charts, peer comparisons, and analyst estimates in a clean visual layout.
The free tier covers basic screening and charting with delayed data. Paid plans add real-time quotes, Excel add-ins, and advanced screening. Koyfin is strongest for single-company research and side-by-side peer analysis. It covers global markets, not just US stocks.
Limitations: The screener filters on current or recent values. Multi-period consistency checks are not supported directly - you can see a metric's history in a chart, but you cannot screen the whole market for stocks where that metric held above a threshold every quarter. No AI or natural language input.
Price: Free tier available. Plus: $39/month. Premium: $79/month (annual billing; higher month-to-month). Advisor tiers cost more.
4. Stock Rover - best for portfolio-integrated screening
Best for: Buy-and-hold investors who want screening, portfolio tracking, and research in one tool, with 10+ years of fundamental history.
Stock Rover integrates screening with portfolio management and research. Its screener supports 650+ metrics including custom equations, and the Premium Plus tier adds 10+ years of fundamental data with growth rates, fair value models, and analyst-style scoring (Margin of Safety, Quality, Growth, Valuation scores).
The real differentiator is portfolio integration: screens feed directly into watchlists and portfolios with performance tracking, rebalancing alerts, and correlation analysis. It is designed for investors who want to find stocks and manage positions in one place.
Limitations: The interface has a steeper learning curve than Finviz. Data is 15-minute delayed on all tiers, not real-time. US and Canadian markets only. No charting comparable to TradingView. The custom equation builder is powerful but requires learning its syntax.
Price: Free tier available. After a 2026 price change: Premium: $29/month. Premium Plus: $49/month. Ultimate tiers from $79/month (billed annually; higher month-to-month).
5. Finviz Elite - best for quick snapshot screening
Best for: Fast, visual screening on current values with preset filters, heatmaps, and chart pattern recognition.
Finviz is the baseline that most retail investors start with. The free tier offers roughly 70 preset screening filters on current financial metrics, a heatmap for sector-level market visualization, and chart pattern scanning. It is fast: type your criteria, see results in a visual table with mini-charts. No account required for basic screening.
Finviz Elite ($39.50/month) adds real-time data, intraday charts, advanced backtesting on technical signals, and roughly 20 additional filters. The backtester supports technical indicator signals but excludes fundamental criteria. The Custom tab adds custom ranges for existing filters but not user-defined formula engines.
Limitations: Filters on current values only. No multi-period consistency checks. No user-defined ratios or custom formulas. No trend detection on fundamentals. Data on the free plan is delayed 15 minutes for Nasdaq and 20 minutes for NYSE. No event studies or historical outcome analysis.
Price: Free tier available. Elite: $39.50/month (annual billing: $24.96/month).
Which tool is right for you?
If you need a fast answer to "what passes my filter right now?" with a visual table and heatmap, Finviz delivers that in seconds. It is the right default for simple, current-value screening.
If you trade on chart patterns and custom technical strategies, TradingView is the strongest option. Pine Script and the community library give it capabilities no other screener matches for technical analysis.
If you do institutional-style fundamental research and want polished dashboards with global coverage, Koyfin gives you a Bloomberg-like experience at a retail price.
If you want screening, portfolio management, and 10+ years of fundamentals in one platform, Stock Rover integrates those workflows better than any standalone screener.
If you need to screen across time - checking whether a condition held for five years, detecting acceleration in fundamentals, studying historical outcomes after events, or combining technical and fundamental conditions in one query - Shibui Finance handles the questions that preset dropdown screeners cannot express. It is free, it requires a Claude account, and it has no visual interface.
Questions
Is there a free alternative to Finviz?
Shibui Finance is a free Finviz alternative that connects to Claude. It screens across 64 years of historical data and handles multi-period conditions that Finviz's preset filters cannot express.
