Research and analytics terminal
The best Koyfin alternatives
Koyfin alternatives get searched by two groups. Professionals compare it against other terminals on data coverage and cost per seat. Everyone else arrives after realising that a research terminal is a large, expensive answer to the question "what happened to my stocks today", and that the answer they wanted fits on a phone.
7 options below: 6 independent alternatives, ordered by how close each one sits to what Koyfin is actually for rather than best to worst, plus our own app, listed on its own so you can tell the two apart. The right pick depends on whether your problem is choosing stocks, following them, or tracking a portfolio. We compare 37 tools in all.
Where Koyfin still wins
Depth of research workspace. Ten years of financials and estimates, ETF holdings, custom formulas and financial templates, macro dashboards, and advisor tooling with client reporting and custodian integration. It is a genuine Bloomberg-alternative workflow for people who do this professionally, and Stockplus does not attempt any of it.
If that is the part you rely on, staying put is a reasonable answer, and nothing below is an upgrade on it.

6 alternatives to Koyfin
Investment research incumbent
Morningstar
The long-established research house behind the star ratings, with fund, ETF and equity analysis, sold to individual investors as Morningstar Investor.
- Best for
- Independent research, at a depth and a vintage nobody here matches. Morningstar has been rating funds since 1984, employs analysts who publish written theses, and its fund and ETF coverage is the reference standard the rest of the industry quotes. If you hold funds, this is the serious answer and Stockplus is not a substitute for a word of it.
- Free tier
- Yes, a free app tier, plus a great deal of free web content
- Paid from
- Morningstar Investor $34.99/mo or $249.99/yr after a 7-day free trial, as of August 2026
Visual fundamental analysis
Simply Wall St
Fundamental analysis turned into pictures. The Snowflake visual summarises value, future, past, health, and dividend for a company at a glance.
- Best for
- Making fundamentals legible. The Snowflake and the DCF-driven fair value estimates are the clearest way most people will ever see a balance sheet, and the free tier is unusually generous for what it teaches.
- Free tier
- Yes, limited stock views per month
- Paid from
- About $10/mo Premium and $20/mo Unlimited billed yearly, as of August 2026
Analyst ratings and research platform
TipRanks
A research platform built around measuring the people giving advice, with tracked performance for Wall Street analysts and financial bloggers, distilled into a Smart Score per stock.
- Best for
- Grading the experts. TipRanks tracks the historical accuracy of thousands of analysts and bloggers, ranks research firms against each other, and folds it into a Smart Score alongside risk-factor analysis and insider activity. Nothing else in this comparison set answers "is this analyst actually any good", and Stockplus does not attempt it.
- Free tier
- Yes, a Basic tier
- Paid from
- Premium listed at $30/mo and Ultimate at $50/mo, both shown at 55% off ($13.50 and $22.50/mo), as of August 2026
Dedicated stock alerting app
Stock Alarm
An app whose entire product is the alert: price, percent-move, volume and technical triggers, delivered by push, email or an actual phone call.
- Best for
- Alert breadth and delivery, and it is not close. Their Gold plan advertises “Unlimited price, percent-move, volume & technical alerts” with “Push, email, and phone-call delivery, 24/7”. Stockplus does price and percent-change alerts and pushes them, full stop. We cannot fire on a moving-average cross or an RSI limit, we will never ring your phone, and our free tier is 3 live alerts against their “unlimited”. If your alert is a rule rather than a number, they are the correct choice and we are not.
- Free tier
- Claimed but never quantified. The membership page shows only Gold and Pro with no free plan, and no page we could read states what the free tier allows
- Paid from
- Three of their own surfaces disagree, as of 27 August 2026. Membership page: Gold $19.99/mo, Pro $44/mo or $440/yr. App Store in-app purchases: Bronze $4.99/mo and $53.99/yr, Silver $9.99/mo and $95.99/yr, Gold $19.99/mo and $164.99/yr. app.stockalarm.io/pricing showed “PRO PLAN $168.00/year” earlier the same day and no price at all by the afternoon
Free stock research website
Stock Analysis
A fast, ad-supported research site covering financials, screeners and forecasts for global stocks and funds, with a cheap Pro tier that removes the ads and the limits.
- Best for
- Data depth, and price. Coverage of 130,000+ global stocks and funds, financial history going back 10 to 40 years, 300+ indicators, ETF holdings and full corporate actions, and a free tier that, by their own account, over five million investors use each month without paying. On raw financial data Stockplus is not in the same category.
- Free tier
- Yes, free forever, with no payment details required
- Paid from
- Pro $6.58/mo billed annually ($79/yr) or $9.99/mo; Unlimited $16.58/mo billed annually, as of August 2026
Congress and insider trade tracking app
StockInsider
An App Store congress-and-insider tracker that bundles congressional disclosures, 13F holdings and Form 4 filings with AI features on top, sold through in-app purchases.
- Best for
- Volume of smart-money surfaces in one app. Congressional trades, 13F institutional holdings, corporate Form 4 filings, an AI "Policy Pulse" feed of tariff and sanction events, a Bull and Bear case view, 35 backtested strategies and an AI screener all sit in the same product. Nothing here matches that count, and the App Store rating is a genuine 4.6 from 76 ratings.
- Free tier
- Yes, free to download with in-app purchases
- Paid from
- In-app purchases $12.99–$16.99/mo, a Pro Monthly at $24.99/mo, and $99.99–$199.99 annually, as of August 2026
Competitor pricing and features were last verified in August 2026 from each vendor’s own site and are quoted “as of” that date. Check with them before deciding.
Questions people ask
What is the best free Koyfin alternative?
Stock Analysis covers a great deal of the same financial data free on the web. TradingView's free tier is closer on charting. Stockplus is free to start but is a monitoring app rather than a research workspace.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Koyfin Plus?
Stock Analysis Pro at $6.58/mo billed annually is the closest thing to a like-for-like discount on research data. Stockplus Pro at $3.99/mo is cheaper still but buys monitoring, not analysis. Do not switch expecting the same product.
What is a Koyfin alternative with congressional trade data?
Stockplus carries a congressional feed on the free tier, Capitol Trades is free to browse, and Quiver Quantitative is the specialist on the dataset.
