- Screens built on named investor rules (Buffett, Graham, Lynch, Greenblatt and others) instead of raw filters.
- 21,000+ stocks in 68 countries; Finviz covers US listings only.
- Ask Buffett and the Boardroom debate for any stock.
What Finviz users actually complain about
Recurring patterns from public reviews on Reddit, Trustpilot, G2, and AlternativeTo (2024-2026). Paraphrased, not direct quotes.
- US only.
- Free data is delayed and the page is dense with ads.
We list these because we built invest-like to avoid each one: structured per-investor verdicts (no opaque scoring), Buffett Brain narrative reasoning (no buried conclusions), published methodology, and pricing for individuals not institutions.
