Common Questions

Is the screener as good?

The screening itself is comparable, and TradeGrub adds screener alerts and scheduled notifications on the free tier where Finviz reserves them for Elite. It also adds a signals marketplace and the ability to trade directly from a signal.

What about the heatmap?

The stock heatmap ships, alongside 22 more widgets including market movers, insider trading, financial statements, an economic map, a yield curve, and a financial calendar.

Is TradeGrub Charts really free?

Yes. The free tier includes all 306 indicators, 87 drawing tools, 96 pattern detectors, unlimited alerts, and backtesting, with no ads and no per-chart indicator caps. Pro at $5.99 per month, or $4.99 billed yearly, adds the TradeGrub data feed, cloud sync, and server-side alert evaluation.

How current is this comparison?

Feature counts for TradeGrub are read directly from the product registries rather than from marketing copy. Competitor rows reflect publicly documented capabilities and published pricing at the time of the last review, and pricing in particular changes often, so treat the other columns as a starting point and verify anything you are about to make a purchase decision on.
