Finviz Review (2026)
Finviz is the fastest way to screen US stocks and read the market at a glance, and most of it is free. Upgrade to Elite only if you need real-time data and backtesting.

Pros
- Lightning-fast visual screener with dozens of filters
- The iconic market heatmap β free
- No login needed for most of the site
- Great for a quick market overview
Cons
- Free data is delayed (real-time needs Elite)
- Heavily US-focused
- Interface looks dated
- Charting is basic β not a TradingView replacement
Who Finviz is for
Best for US-focused investors and swing traders who want to filter the market quickly and eyeball sector strength via the heatmap. International investors and chart-heavy traders will need something else alongside it.
Pricing
Free (delayed data); Elite $39.50/mo or $299.50/yr. There is a free tier you can use without paying.
The bottom line
Finviz is the fastest way to screen US stocks and read the market at a glance, and most of it is free. Upgrade to Elite only if you need real-time data and backtesting. Main drawback: free data is delayed; us-centric; dated interface; no real charting.
