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.

We summarize hands-on assessment, not user reviews. As a web/desktop tool, Finviz has no comparable app-store rating, so we show none. Pricing and features change often and are re-checked regularly. Some outbound links may be affiliate links β€” that never affects which tools we include or how we rate them. Nothing here is investment advice.
