Standout feature: A free AAOIFI halal check on every stock, next to a plain-words read of the business
Explains 21,000+ stocks in 60+ countries in plain words: whether a company is profitable, growing, fairly priced and financially safe, from fixed published rules. Each stock also gets a written analysis, pages for common questions (is it undervalued, does it have a moat, is the dividend safe) and an AAOIFI halal check, and a portfolio report explains a whole portfolio pasted or uploaded from a broker against the market. Built for beginners and intermediate investors; every stock page is free. The halal check follows AAOIFI Shariah Standard 21 (permitted business, interest-bearing debt under 30% of market value, cash and revenue limits) and is re-run every day; with Halal Mode on, the portfolio report shows how much of your money passes.
Where it wins
- AAOIFI halal check free on every stock, with the reason shown
- Says whether a halal stock is profitable, growing, fairly priced and financially safe
- Portfolio report shows the share of your money that passes the screen
- Stocks in 60+ countries
Where it falls short
- A purification figure only where a company reports the revenue as a segment; no zakat calculator
- No broker connection: you paste or upload your holdings
- The screen is a tool, not a fatwa: no named Shariah board
Best for: Beginners and intermediate investors who want to understand a company before buying, in plain words, without paying for a data terminal.

How we compared them
The reasons Muslim investors compare: apps can disagree on the same stock and the reason is often behind a paywall (see why halal screeners disagree), Zoya answers whether a stock is allowed but not whether it is a good business, and subscriptions add up when you want to compare two apps' reports. The table above says where Zoya is better.
