The best 13F and hedge fund tracker apps in 2026

August 27, 2026·Updated August 29, 2026·17 min read

Fifteen tools, checked one by one against their own pricing pages and store listings. Nine of them are websites with no app on either store, including every single tool named by the article currently ranking first for this query. Six ship on a store, and half of those six are under four months old. The only established name among them is GuruFocus at $549 a year.

The short answer

If you want 13F data on a phone and money is not the constraint, GuruFocus is the only established platform with real apps on both stores, and its own paid feature table sells the mobile app as a line item. If you want it free, StockInsider is an independent app that puts institutional filings next to congressional and insider ones, though its website publishes no price and its App Store listing discloses six separate subscriptions up to $199.99 a year.

Below those sit three apps that did not exist a few months ago. 13F Hub launched in June 2026 and is the only one of the three with a real website and published prices behind it. Whalex is the only one on both stores. WhaleSignals has the most interesting idea and the least traceable publisher: its developer link is a default Firebase subdomain, so nothing it says about itself can be checked from outside. Each is free to download and each is, on the evidence available, unproven.

If you are willing to use a browser, the picture inverts completely and gets much better. WhaleWisdom gives away most of its database. 13f.info gates nothing at all and publishes its source code. Dataroma asks for no account. HedgeTrace charges nothing for 15,000 pages, though you should read what we found on its rankings page before trusting a number on it. Stockcircle at $99 a year and 13Radar at $115 are the cheapest paid options in the category. None of them can send you anything.

Why the serious tools are all websites

It is worth understanding before you go looking. A Form 13F is filed quarterly, within 45 days of quarter end, by institutional managers holding at least $100 million in US-listed securities. Four data events a year, all on the same deadline, all public. That shape rewards a searchable archive and punishes a feed, and an archive is a thing browsers are good at.

The counter-argument is the one that makes an app worth having anyway: four events a year on a deadline you did not choose is precisely the situation where you will forget to look. A website you have to remember to open is the worst possible interface for something that happens rarely. Of the nine web tools below, three can email you and six cannot reach you at all.

What the top-ranked article on this query leaves out

Search for the best 13F tracker and the first result is Best 13F Trackers: 11 Hedge Fund Tracking Tools Compared, published on July 11, 2026 by HoldingsIntel. It is a competent piece of work and we are not going to pretend otherwise: it states its ranking criteria openly, it names its data sources, and it answers the obvious objection head-on with a section explaining why it ranks its own product first. That is more disclosure than most vendor listicles offer.

Four things it does not do, all of which this page does:

• It contains no comparison table. The headline says eleven tools compared; the article is 1,856 words of narrative prose with no table element on the page at all. If you want to see free tier, price and coverage side by side, you cannot.
• Four of its eleven prices are unconfirmed and marked as such, including HedgeFollow, Fintel and Stockcircle. All three publish prices, and all three are quoted in full further down this page with the URL they were read from.
• Two of the eleven are not 13F tools, which the article itself concedes: OpenInsider is a Form 4 screener and Capitol Trades is a congressional tracker. That is a list of nine padded to eleven.
• It never mentions mobile. Not once. No iOS, no Android, no app store, in an article about which tool to use. Every one of its eleven entries is a web dashboard, and a reader who wants this on a phone finishes it no better off.

The 45-day lag gets one sentence, and the limits of what a 13F actually contains, no shorts, no bonds, no cash, no foreign listings, appear nowhere in it. HoldingsIntel does cover them, thoroughly, on a separate page. They are just not on the page that ranks.

None of that makes HoldingsIntel a bad product. It is a real dashboard with a real free tier at $0 and Pro at $19 a month, and it is in the table below on the same criteria as everything else. It is eight months old, its domain was registered in December 2025, and it has no app.

One more site on this search that is not a 13F tool at all

Dilutracker also ranks for these terms, on a page titled Track 13F filings and institutional holders with dilution context. We opened it and it contains no 13F data: no holdings, no fund names, no figures, only calls to action pointing at a pricing page that starts at $69 a month. The underlying product is real, but it is a share dilution tool for small caps built on 10-Q and 8-K filings, and it is not in the table below because there is nothing honest to put in the coverage column.

What a 13F cannot tell you, whatever the tool claims

Any product in this category that shows you a fund’s returns has reconstructed them, because the filing does not contain them. Form 13F reports long US-listed positions as they stood on the last day of the quarter. There is no cost basis, no transaction date, no short position, no cash, and nothing at all about non-US or private holdings. A performance figure attached to a 13F portfolio is somebody’s model sitting on top of the filing, and two vendors modelling the same filing will disagree. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

How we ranked them

• It has to be an app. Every entry in the ranked list has an App Store or Play listing we opened ourselves. Six products passed that test and nine well-known ones failed it, so the second half of this page is longer than the first. That is the finding, not a gap in the research.
• A claim about absence has to be re-run, not remembered. This page originally said three apps existed in the whole category. That was wrong, and it was wrong in the most avoidable way: typing the words 13F tracker into App Store search returns two of the three we had missed. An absence claim is the easiest thing on a comparison page to get wrong, because nothing contradicts it until somebody checks. The three late finds are ranked fourth to sixth and each one says what we could not confirm about it.
• A bundle id is not evidence of ownership. We learned this one the expensive way. An App Store listing carrying the bundle id com.stockcircle.app is not Stockcircle's app; the id is a fossil of an earlier name and the seller is an unrelated company. Every attribution on this page was confirmed from the vendor's own site linking to the listing, or marked as unconfirmed.
• Being ranked here is not an endorsement of the numbers. We check what a tool costs and what it claims to cover. We do not audit its arithmetic, with one exception: when a figure is impossible on its face, it goes in the row. HedgeTrace is listed at full length below and its current rankings page states fund sizes roughly a thousand times too large. Both things are true at once, and a comparison that printed only the first would be useless.
• Whether anything reaches you. This is the whole reason to want an app for a quarterly dataset. A 13F filing lands four times a year on a deadline you did not choose, and a website you have to remember to open is the worst possible interface for that. Push beats email; email beats nothing; six of the nine entries here can only do the third.
• How much of the job is free. 13F filings are public records on EDGAR. A product that paywalls the filings themselves is charging for access to something the government publishes, and is marked down for it. Charging for screening, history, backtests or alerts is a different matter, and several here do it well.
• Whether the price is checkable. Every figure carries the date we read it and a link to the page we read it from. Two entries here publish no price because they sell nothing, which is recorded as exactly that rather than as free.
• What we did not weigh, and could not. Returns. Not because we chose not to, but because Form 13F cannot express them: it reports long US-listed positions as of a quarter end, with no cost basis, no transaction dates and no short positions. Any performance figure attached to a 13F portfolio is somebody's reconstruction on top of the filing, not a number from it. Nothing here is investment advice.

The six apps

Six is not a shortlist we trimmed. It is the entire population we could find after searching both stores under each vendor’s brand name and by generic term. The first three were verified on August 27, 2026 and the last three on August 29, 2026, and each row carries its own date, because a row is never re-dated to look fresher than the evidence behind it.

Read the last three with more caution than the first three, and not because they are worse. It is that they are new enough that almost nothing about them can be corroborated: between them they hold one rating, one has no company behind it that we could identify, and the oldest was first released in May 2026.

1. 1. Value-investing research platform

   GuruFocus

   A long-established value-investing research platform whose guru portfolios are built on 13F filings, with real apps on both stores and pricing to match.

   App Store: GuruFocusGoogle Play: GuruFocus

   Best at

   Being the only established name in this category you can actually install. Guru portfolios, fundamentals, screeners and valuation tooling in one product, with the mobile app sold as a line item in its own paid feature table rather than bolted on.

   Bad at

   The price, which is in a different league from everything else here. $549 a year is more than six times Stockcircle's annual rate for a category where four competent tools are free, and there is no free tier at all, only a 7-day trial you can use once every 24 months.

   Price

   Verified August 27, 2026

   Read from gurufocus.com/pricing on 27 August 2026 in a real browser, because the site returns HTTP 403 to automated clients: “Premium $549 Yearly”, “Premium Plus $1398 Yearly”, “Professional $2448 Yearly”, plus regional rates listed as USA $549/year, Asia and Europe $499/year, and Canada, UK/Ireland, Oceania, Latin America, Africa and India/Pakistan $369/year, with “$100 off per year per additional region subscription”. The only free language on the page is “7-Day Free Trial · Cancel Anytime” and “7-day free trial is limited to once every 24 months”. Both store listings resolved: id1054144526 with seller Cechan Tian and sellerUrl gurufocus.com, and com.gurufocus.app with developer GuruFocus. This is not an inference from a bundle id: gurufocus.com's own footer links both listings directly, and “Mobile app” appears as a row in its paid feature-comparison table. We could not verify push notification behaviour and the table says so.

2. 2. Free smart-money app

   StockInsider

   An independent phone app that puts institutional 13F filings, congressional disclosures and SEC Form 4 insider trades into a single feed, on both stores.

   App Store: StockInsider: Stock TrackerGoogle Play: Stock Insider: Track Trades

   Being the free way to read 13F filings on a phone. Nothing else in this category gives away institutional holdings in an installable app, and it widens the question to politicians and corporate insiders at the same time.

   Bad at

   Depth, and telling you what it costs. It is a feed rather than a research platform, so there is no screening, no historical analysis and no comparison against a benchmark. Its website publishes no pricing page, and the App Store listing discloses six separate Pro subscriptions ranging up to $199.99 a year.

   Price

   Free download with in-app purchases. App Store lists Pro at $12.99, $14.99, $16.99 and $24.99 a month and $99.99 and $199.99 a year; no price on the vendor site

   Verified August 27, 2026

   Both listings resolved on 27 August 2026. Apple id6737145743 is titled “StockInsider: Stock Tracker”, seller TechParrot Innovations LLC, sellerUrl stockinsiderapp.com, bundle id com.stockcircle.app, last updated 26 August 2026, with six in-app purchases: StockInsider Pro 1 Month at $12.99, $14.99 and $16.99, Pro Monthly $24.99, Pro 1 Year $99.99 and Pro Yearly $199.99. Play com.stockcircle.app is titled “Stock Insider: Track Trades”, developer “plpl”, 500+ downloads, with a “Contains ads” label. Read this next part before you cite this app anywhere: **it is not Stockcircle's**, despite the bundle id and the /app/stockcircle/ URL slug. Those are fossils of the app's original name. stockcircle.com is operated by BIT Enterprises UG in Germany and links to no store listing on any of its pages; the app's own domain stockcircle.app redirects to stockinsiderapp.com, and the Play developer “plpl” also publishes movie and anime streaming apps. We stated the opposite on this site on 10 August 2026 and have corrected it.

3. 3. Copy-trading app

   Insiderwave

   A phone app built around following and copying the disclosed trades of well-known investors, with the largest install base of any app in this category.

   App Store: InsiderwaveGoogle Play: Insiderwave

   Best at

   Reach and simplicity. At 10,000+ Play installs it is the most-installed thing here by an order of magnitude, and its whole interface is built around following a named investor rather than reading a filing.

   Bad at

   Saying precisely which filings it reads. Its store copy talks about “every stock trade disclosed by influential investors”, which covers 13F filings and congressional disclosures without distinguishing them, and we could not confirm from outside that institutional 13F holdings are in there specifically.

   Price

   Free download with in-app purchases from $9.99 to $79.99 per item

   Not fully verified August 27, 2026

   The listings are verified and the category fit is not, which is why this sits third. Both resolved on 27 August 2026: Apple id6738753987 titled “Insiderwave”, seller Insiderwave inc., and Play app.insiderwave.mobile with 10,000+ installs and an in-app purchase line of “$9.99 - $79.99 per item”. What we could not establish is whether it reads Form 13F at all. Its own description is “Track and copy trades from the most successful investors on Wall Street” and “every stock trade disclosed by influential investors”, wording that fits congressional disclosures as comfortably as institutional filings, and it names neither. We have not assumed the generous reading. If 13F holdings are the reason you would install it, confirm that inside the app before paying.

4. 4. Institutional-holdings app with a website behind it

   13F Hub

   An iPhone app, launched June 2026, that tracks a curated set of institutions alongside ARK, corporate insiders and Congress, and is the only new entrant here with a real website attached.

   App Store: 13F Hub

   Best at

   Being the most complete of the three we missed. It is the only one of them with a working product site publishing its own prices, its own data-sources page and a named free tier, which makes it the one you can check before installing rather than after.

   Bad at

   iPhone only, and unproven. There is no Play listing, the package com.thirteenf.app returns HTTP 404 on Play, and the App Store listing carries zero ratings. Its site advertises “99.9% data accuracy”, which is a marketing number rather than a measured one, and it describes 13F delay only as filings that “can be delayed, amended, or incomplete” without ever printing the 45-day deadline.

   Price

   Free download. The site publishes Pro at $8.99/mo or $74.99/yr

   Verified August 29, 2026

   Listing read on 29 August 2026: Apple id6755756022, titled “13F Hub”, bundle id com.thirteenf.app, seller “翔 王” (an individual, not a company), sellerUrl 13fhub.com, first released 10 June 2026, version 1.0.8 dated 6 August 2026, price Free, minimum iOS 18.6, and zero ratings. 13fhub.com resolves and states “200 curated institutions”, “15+ historical years”, a free tier limited to the top 50 institutions, and Pro at “$74.99/year or $8.99/month”; it also carries a Data Sources & Methodology section naming SEC Form 13F and EDGAR. Two things we did not verify and are not claiming: push-notification behaviour, and whether the in-app price matches the site price, because the App Store metadata we can read does not enumerate the in-app purchases. On Android we probed com.thirteenf.app directly, HTTP 404, and the vendor site's download call to action is “Download for iOS” alone.

5. 5. Filings app on both stores

   Whalex

   The only one of the three late finds that ships on both stores, covering institutional filings, corporate insiders and congressional disclosures in one feed.

   Best at

   Being installable on either phone. It is on iOS and Android, it is free to download, and its store copy is specific about what it parses rather than gesturing at “smart money”, which is more than the longer-established Insiderwave listing manages.

   Bad at

   Scale, and the gap between its two listings. Fifty-plus Play installs is close to nothing, its Play title is “Whalex: US Stock Tracker” while its App Store title is “Whalex: Insider & 13F Tracker”, and the whole product is three months old with a single rating on Apple.

   Price

   Free download with in-app purchases. Play discloses “$2.99 - $19.99 per item”; no price is published on the vendor site

   Verified August 29, 2026

   Both listings resolved on 29 August 2026. Apple id6770400771, titled “Whalex: Insider & 13F Tracker”, bundle id com.vivathinking.whaleX, seller VivaThinking Technology Co., Limited, sellerUrl vivathinking.com, first released 29 May 2026, version 1.9.5 dated 27 August 2026, free, one rating. Play com.vivathinking.whaleX resolved HTTP 200 as “Whalex: US Stock Tracker” with “50+” downloads, an “In-app purchases” label and a price line of “$2.99 - $19.99 per item”; note that the lowercase package com.vivathinking.whalex returns HTTP 404, so case matters if you probe it yourself. Its App Store description names Form 13F, the STOCK Act and named managers explicitly, which is why it is placed above Insiderwave on category fit despite being far smaller. We did not verify push notifications and the table says so rather than reading “appears in your personal feed” as a push.

6. 6. 13F signal app, publisher unverified

   WhaleSignals

   A free iPhone app that turns the quarterly filings of 59 well-known funds into concentration heatmaps, conviction scores and a divergence detector.

   App Store: WhaleSignals: 13F Tracker

   Best at

   Refusing to blend its signals. Its own listing says “five independent signals, never blended”, and one of them, crossing institutional buying against Form 4 purchases filtered to code P only, is a genuinely specific idea that the far more expensive web tools on this page do not offer as a named feature.

   Bad at

   Being traceable to anybody. Its developer URL is a default Firebase hosting subdomain rather than a product site, so there is no pricing page, no company, no support address and no way to check a single claim in its listing against a source. It has no ratings and no Android build. Everything it says about itself is unverified by definition.

   Price

   Free download. No price published anywhere we could find

   Not fully verified August 29, 2026

   The listing is verified and the publisher is not, which is why this is last. Apple id6787177894 resolved on 29 August 2026 as “WhaleSignals: 13F Tracker”, bundle id com.WhaleSignals1, seller “Syncly Applications”, first released 5 July 2026, version 4.9.7, free, zero ratings. The problem is the developer URL: it is https://memoshot2.firebaseapp.com/, a default Firebase hosting subdomain whose name refers to some other product entirely. There is no product website, so its “59 legendary funds”, its conviction scores and its divergence detector cannot be checked against anything except the app itself. A version number of 4.9.7 on an app first released eight weeks ago is also not what an eight-week-old codebase usually looks like. None of that makes it bad, and we have not called it bad. It makes every claim in its listing unconfirmable from outside, and on this page that is worth saying plainly before anyone installs it.

The nine that are deeper and are not apps

Every one of these reads 13F more thoroughly than the six above, and not one has an App Store or Play listing. We searched each by brand name on both stores, probed the obvious package names directly, and read each vendor’s own pages for store links. The results and the HTTP status codes are in each entry.

The last three were added on August 29, 2026: HoldingsIntel, 13Radar and HedgeTrace. All three are under fourteen months old, which is worth knowing before you pay one of them for historical data. Read the HedgeTrace entry in full before you use its numbers.

   No App Store or Play listing exists. It is a website you can add to your home screen.

One honest qualification: hedgefollow.com/site.webmanifest returns HTTP 200 declaring “name”: “HedgeFollow” and “display”: “standalone”, and the homepage carries a full set of iOS splash screens, so it can be added to a home screen and will look like an app. That is not a store listing and it cannot send you a push notification, but “they have nothing on phones” would be wrong.

We then grepped ten of its own pages, including the home page, /pro, /join, /gurus, /screener and /blog, for apps.apple.com and play.google.com and found zero links. The App Store listing whose bundle id is com.stockcircle.app belongs to TechParrot Innovations LLC and is the StockInsider app in the ranked list above; stockcircle.com's imprint names BIT Enterprises UG in Fuldabrück, Germany.

   Read from fintel.io/checkout on 27 August 2026 in a real browser, because the site sits behind Cloudflare and returns HTTP 403 to automated clients. Note also that /pricing is a soft 404, so the live page is /checkout. Quarterly rates: Bronze “$10.95/month” and “billed at $32.85/quarter”, Silver “$19.95/month” and “billed at $59.85/quarter” marked “Most Popular”, Gold “$95.00/month” and “billed at $285.00/quarter”, with a “Pay Annually / Save” toggle whose figures are not printed in the quarterly view. The Free column shows Custom Dashboard, Watchlists and Link Broker Accounts as “Included”, Market Data as “Public Data” and Ad-Free as “Not included”. On the app question we searched both stores for “fintel”, “fintel.io” and “fintel ventures”. The closest App Store hit is “Fintell - Stock News Sentiment” by JUHWAN LEE, unrelated. The Play package com.fintel.app does resolve, HTTP 200, but it is “Fintel: Akıllı Finans Asistanı” by SeptimusLab, a Turkish personal-budgeting app with no connection to fintel.io. io.fintel and com.fintel both return HTTP 404.

7. 13. 13F analytics dashboard, and the page that ranks above this one

   Not an app

   HoldingsIntel

   An eight-month-old analytics dashboard that scores every institutional position for conviction, and the publisher of the listicle currently ranking first for this query.

   No App Store or Play listing exists. It is a website with an API and an MCP endpoint.

   Best at

   Turning filings into a view rather than a table. Conviction scoring, double-down detection and a four-source verdict are analytics the free tools here do not attempt, and at $19 a month it undercuts every paid web tool on this page except Stockcircle. Selling an API and an MCP endpoint for AI assistants is a genuinely forward positioning choice that nothing else in the category has made.

   Age and reach. The domain was created in December 2025, so every claim about coverage rests on eight months of operating history, its curated 551 funds are a fraction of the roughly 10,000 filers WhaleWisdom and HedgeFollow index, and there is no app on either store.

   Read on 29 August 2026 in a real browser, because the site sits behind a Vercel bot checkpoint that returns HTTP 429 to automated clients. From /pricing: Free $0 with 50-item daily feeds, 12 Smart Money Verdicts plus 5 more per 30 days, latest-quarter holdings for all 551 funds, 10-row analytics previews, 3 watchlist items and 200 API calls a day; Pro $19 a month or $190 a year; Pro+ $49 a month with 7+ years of history, unlimited CSV and 10,000 API calls a day; Enterprise custom. The product itself is real and working, with Funds, Stocks, Insiders, Activists and Congress sections plus named analytics screens. Its own homepage claims 551 funds, $59.6T tracked and data through Q2 2026. Domain holdingsintel.com was created 19 December 2025, which makes the whole thing roughly eight months old. On the app question we searched the App Store for “holdingsintel” and “holdings intel” and found nothing belonging to it, and the site itself links no store listing and never uses the words mobile, iOS or Android anywhere in its 13F listicle.

8. 14. 13F and insider tracking site

   Not an app

   13Radar

   A one-year-old site pairing institutional filings with Form 4 insider trades, at the second-lowest paid price in this comparison and with an unusually honest disclaimer page.

   No App Store or Play listing exists. It is a website with email alerts.

   Price against history. $115 a year buys 13F history back to 2013 and Form 4 back to 2017, which is more history per dollar than anything else here that charges, and its free tier is a real one at four quarters rather than a teaser.

   Polish and provenance. Its own filer directory prints raw database values in place of formatted amounts, its blog has not been updated since 16 May 2026, it publishes no legal entity or address, and the two founder names on its about page could not be verified against any public record. It also states a 7-day trial on the pricing card and a 14-day trial in the page copy directly beneath it.

   Free Starter $0, Premium Investor $12/mo or $115/yr

   Read from 13radar.com/pricing on 29 August 2026 (HTTP 200): Free Starter “$0” with 13F and guru data for the last 4 quarters, Form 4 for the last 6 months, watchlist up to 5 and no export; Premium Investor “$12/month” or “$115/year” stated as saving 20%, with full history since 2013 for 13F and 2017 for Form 4, unlimited CSV and Excel export, advanced screener, watchlist up to 100, email alerts on new filings and no ads. A 30-day money-back guarantee is stated. The trial length contradicts itself on that same page: the Premium card reads “7-day free trial · No charge until trial ends” while the surrounding copy reads “Start with a 14-day free trial.” We are reporting both rather than picking one. The lag disclosure is good and we are crediting it: /disclaimer states “13Radar aggregates data primarily from public SEC regulatory filings (EDGAR)” and “13F filings are submitted up to 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter.” The database is real, with /filers/ paginating “1 to 20 of 13280 entries” on Q2 2026 filings, though that same page renders unformatted values such as “0000000124683667.00000000”. Domain created 8 July 2025 with a privacy-shielded registrant. On the app question we searched the App Store and Play for “13radar” and found only unrelated television weather apps.

9. 15. Free 13F content site

   Disclosing the lag. Every page carries “13F data is delayed by 45+ days” in the footer, and its terms repeat it in full. That is a better lag disclosure than most paid tools on this page manage, and it costs nothing to read because there is no account, no paywall and no advertising.

   Being right. On 29 August 2026 its largest-funds ranking for Q2 2026 listed Envestnet Asset Management at $199.5T and IMC-Chicago at $45.2T, against a total world equity market capitalisation of roughly $130T. That is the signature of reading the 13F value column as dollars when the form reports it in thousands. Meanwhile its Berkshire page was still showing Q4 2025 and its Apple page showed “No institutional holders found”.

   Price

   No price published. Nothing on the site is for sale

   Verified August 29, 2026

   Checked on 29 August 2026 (HTTP 200). There is no pricing to read and we established that rather than assuming it: /login, /signup, /register, /pricing, /account and /about all return HTTP 404, and no advertising is served, so the monetisation model is genuinely unclear rather than merely unpublished. The lag disclosure is verbatim from the sitewide footer: “HedgeTrace is not investment advice. 13F data is delayed by 45+ days.” The scale figure is from its own sitemap, which lists 15,764 URLs: 10,645 /fund/, 5,080 /stock/, 21 /rankings/, 11 /sector/ and a handful of static pages. The 60 guides under /learn are not in that sitemap. Now the part that matters more than any of it. On /rankings/largest-funds for Q2 2026 we read “ENVESTNET ASSET MANAGEMENT INC” at “$199.5T” with 4,697 holdings, “IMC-Chicago, LLC” at “$45.2T”, “HighTower Advisors, LLC” at “$37.5T” and “RENAISSANCE TECHNOLOGIES LLC” at “$36.2T”, and /filings echoing “Beacon Pointe Advisors, LLC | Q2 2026 | $9.7T”. Those are impossible numbers. Its own Berkshire page reads a plausible $274.2B but is dated Q4 2025, two quarters stale, and /stock/AAPL reads “Total Inst. Value $4.0T” as of Q1 2025 alongside “No institutional holders found”. We are not calling this dishonest and we have no reason to; it reads as a units bug in a current-quarter ingest. We are recording it because a 15,764-page site publishing fund sizes off by three orders of magnitude is exactly the kind of thing a comparison page exists to catch, and because it may well be fixed by the time you read this. Domain created 24 February 2026, registrant privacy-shielded, no company name published, terms governed by Arizona law. On the app question we searched both stores for “hedgetrace” and found only unrelated broker apps.

The correction this page owes you most

When this page was first published on August 27, 2026its central claim was that only three products in the entire category had a phone app, and that this was “not a shortlist we trimmed” but the whole population. That claim was false when we wrote it.

What broke it was checking the search results for this query properly. Doing that turned up four sites we had never assessed, and re-running the store search alongside them turned up three apps. Two of them, WhaleSignals and Whalex, are returned by the App Store for the plain term 13F tracker, which is close to the first thing anybody would type. The third, 13F Hub, has had a public website and an iPhone app since June 2026.

The lesson is not that we searched badly, though we did. It is that a claim about something not existing is the most fragile sentence a comparison page can contain, because nothing ever contradicts it. A price is wrong the moment a vendor changes it and somebody notices. An absence is wrong silently, for as long as nobody re-runs the search. This page now dates every store check separately so the next reader can see exactly how stale each one is.

An earlier correction, kept here on purpose

On 10 August 2026 we published, on this site, that the App Store listing for StockInsider was Stockcircle shipping a mobile app under a different name. We inferred that from its bundle identifier, com.stockcircle.app, and from its App Store URL slug. That was wrong, and re-checking for this page is what caught it.

The seller on Apple is TechParrot Innovations LLC and the developer on Play is an account that also publishes anime and film streaming apps. The app’s own domain redirects to stockinsiderapp.com. Meanwhile stockcircle.com is operated by a company in Germany and links to no store listing on any of the ten pages we checked. The bundle id is a leftover from the app’s original name. Two unrelated products, one fossilised string. We have corrected the earlier page.

The general lesson is worth more than the specific one: a bundle identifier is not evidence of who owns an app. The only reliable check is whether the vendor’s own site links to the listing, which is how GuruFocus is confirmed on this page and how nothing else was.

One more thing that is true and easy to overstate

HedgeFollow has no store listing, but it does ship an installable progressive web app: it serves a web manifest declaring standalone display and a full set of iOS splash screens, so you can add it to a home screen and it will look like an app. It still cannot send you a push notification and it is still not on either store. We say “no App Store or Play listing” rather than “nothing on mobile” for that reason.

Why Stockplus is not on this list

We have built a Funds tab that reads institutional 13F holdings from the SEC’s own quarterly data sets, with per-filer portfolios, a quarter-over-quarter changes view and the ability to follow a filer. As of 6 September 2026 it has shipped: as of 28 September 2026 the App Store is on 0.0.9, released 24 September 2026, and Google Play is on 0.0.9, released 24 September 2026, and both of those contain it. This section said the opposite until that date, which was accurate for as long as it was true.

We still have not added our own row. Every entry in the table above carries facts we checked against a live listing on a stated date, and we have not yet done that work on ourselves to the same standard. Writing the row from memory because it is our app is the exact failure this page exists to expose, so the row waits until it is researched like the rest. It will not go first when it arrives. What Stockplus does today is a watchlist, price alerts, and congressional, insider and 13F filing feeds, with the morning AI briefing and the PulseScore on Pro.

Where to read next

• How to read a 13F filing covers what the form contains, the 45-day deadline, and why the holdings you are reading are already old.
• The best insider trading tracker apps asks the same question about Form 4 and gets a similar answer: the four strongest tools are web-only.
• The best congress stock tracker apps is the one category in this family where the apps genuinely win.
• Quiver Quantitative alternatives is worth reading if what you actually want is alternative data rather than filings.
