About
What is invest-like?
invest-like is a stock research tool for learning and checking ideas. It scores every listed company against the published rules of value investors such as Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and Joel Greenblatt, and shows the reasoning behind each result. It covers more than 21,000 stocks, refreshed daily, and you don't need a finance degree to use it. It is not investment advice.
What invest-like does
invest-like takes the criteria value investors use (a wide economic moat, lasting demand, shareholder-friendly management, a solid balance sheet, return on invested capital, earnings yield and a margin of safety) and applies them to every listed stock. Each one gets a Buffett score from 0 to 100, plus a breakdown that shows which parts passed and which didn't.

Seven published value-investing philosophies. Pick the one closest to how you think, or compare all seven.
How invest-like works under the hood
Company fundamentals come from annual and quarterly filings with ten or more years of history, and prices refresh every day (intraday prices are delayed). Each verdict follows a fixed rubric that mirrors how value investors work by hand: moat, lasting demand, management, financial health and price against intrinsic value. Every claim points to a number in the data or a passage from Berkshire's shareholder letters, and each answer is stored with the version of the rules that produced it.
The site is built with Next.js and Supabase and runs on servers in the EU. Privacy-friendly defaults: no third-party cookies, no fingerprinting, and form inputs are masked in analytics.
What invest-like is not
- Not personalised advice. Answers compare a stock with published investing frameworks. They are not buy or sell recommendations.
- Not a brokerage. invest-like doesn't place trades or hold your money.
- Not real-time. Quotes and fundamentals refresh daily; intraday prices are delayed.
Who built it
invest-like is built by Zaid Ghazal in Kiel, Germany, as a one-person company. That means quick changes and direct answers. If you have feedback or an idea, or you've found a bug, write to me directly:
The methodology behind invest-like is published as two working papers on SSRN and Zenodo, with permanent DOIs anyone can cite. See the working papers.
Three commitments, in writing
Things I won't do, even if they would grow the business faster.
No paid placements.
No company has ever paid to be mentioned here. There are no affiliate links and no sponsored verdicts. When a verdict is positive, it's because the numbers are.
No investor money.
invest-like is self-funded. There is no investor pushing it toward enterprise sales or metrics that don't help private investors. It answers to its subscribers.
I write the words.
I review every explainer, comparison page and changelog entry on this site myself before it goes live.
What stock investors are saying
Best stock analysis tool I've tried
I'm a long-term investor focused on growth stocks. I've been using tools like Simply Wall St, Yahoo Finance, etc., but invest-like honestly does it better than them all. It has contextual analysis and checks stocks not only for numbers! It's really beginner-friendly and I can especially recommend the paid version as it comes with many useful features like the Boardroom, my personal highlight. I'd recommend it to anyone just getting started with investing, but also to experts trying to find an easy and smart alternative to hour-long research.

If you can read this review, you're on the right track to take your stock trading to the next level - but how did I get there? I first heard about invest-like online and the idea grabbed me instantly. At the same time I started wondering how a website like this could even work and whether it would be based on real, serious data. So I went to the link with mixed feelings - but my doubts were gone shortly after. invest-like is truly unique in everything it does and I had to take a moment to orient myself. The most important feature of invest-like is the 'Buffett Brain': it compares any stock against Warren Buffett's buying strategies. You simply enter a stock of your choice and after a short wait the site calculates how well it matches Buffett's criteria, gives detailed information about the company, and assigns a score from 1 to 100. Besides the 'Buffett Brain' I also find the 'Compare' feature very special, since it lets you evaluate stocks against Graham, Lynch, and Greenblatt's criteria too. There are many more features in the app - I'll stop here, otherwise this would go on forever. Overall: a big recommendation from me for invest-like, and anyone even remotely involved with stocks is going to love this site. Big thanks to the developer for creating such a masterpiece!

The most important thing about investing is…
The most important thing about investing is that you have a strategy that works and that you can execute repeatedly. Especially for people who don't do this full-time, that's hard. invest-like is a good solution for this: you can transparently track how the most successful value investors would currently rate a stock.

Simple but effective
Really easy to understand. Stocks are analyzed by AI against the criteria of great investors. A simple but effective system, with lots of features to explore.

Great investment
Great experience so far. It's definitely worth the money and saved me so much time and energy on researching stocks. I could've lost a lot of money on failed stocks.

Where invest-like fits
Most investing tools for private investors fall into two groups. Free dashboards such as Yahoo Finance or your broker show hundreds of metrics without telling you what they mean. Premium platforms such as Morningstar, Bloomberg or TIKR rely on their own analysts' opinions and charge accordingly.
invest-like sits between the two. It scores listed stocks against seven published investing approaches (Buffett, Graham, Lynch, Greenblatt, Munger, Fisher and Smith) in plain language, from €2.99 for the first month. It won't tell you what to buy. It shows whether a company is a strong, partial or weak fit for each approach, with the numbers and the reasoning behind every call. For education, not advice.
