Stock Analysis

What it is

Stock Analysis is a free stock research site, built since 2019 by a six-person team in Iceland and operated by Vefir ehf. It is the plainest product in this category: a stock page with financial statements, ratios, dividends and analyst forecasts; a screener over global equities; matching screeners for ETFs, mutual funds and IPOs; comparison tools; and a technical chart.

What separates it from every paid neighbour is where the paywall sits: there is no registration wall at all. A visitor who has never seen the site gets complete income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements — five fiscal years and TTM, annual or quarterly, standardised or as-reported — plus every filter in the screener, every page of results, real-time Nasdaq and NYSE prices and the whole IPO section. Most free tiers in this category are demos with the tickers blanked out. This one is the product.

The IPO section is the second distinction, maintained as its own dataset rather than falling out of the stock database: listings back to 2019, a forward calendar, lockup expiry dates, aggregate statistics and an IPO screener.

Pricing

Free, then Pro at $9.99 a month or $79 a year — the annual rate is advertised as $6.58 a month and a 34% discount. Unlimited is $29 a month or $199 a year, quoted as $16.58. No trial, because the free tier never expires; a 60-day money-back guarantee instead.

Pro's headline additions are financial history beyond five years, saved screeners, 300+ indicators at up to 1,000 rows per table, one download a day to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets, and no ads. Unlimited removes caps rather than adding features — downloads, watchlist size, alerts and analyst follows all become unlimited. Note that the vendor's help centre calls that difference three caps and omits the analyst-follow one its own pricing page lists in the Pro column.

Data & coverage

Over 130,000 tradable symbols worldwide, covering Nasdaq, NYSE, Cboe and OTC Markets in the US; the screener returns 5,601 US stocks and 5,659 US ETFs with the country filter set to the United States. Mutual funds and pre-IPO private companies have their own sections, the latter priced off Hiive's secondary-market data.

Everything is licensed rather than derived, and the vendor publishes a per-dataset breakdown. Statements come from S&P Global Market Intelligence and Fiscal.ai, forecasts and dividends from S&P Global, analyst track records from TipRanks, ETF holdings from Finnhub, corporate actions from Nasdaq Data Link and transcripts from Quartr. Fiscal.ai updates within minutes of a press release and S&P within one to three hours; anything missing from the release waits for the 10-Q or 10-K.

Prices are real-time for Nasdaq and NYSE listings in regular and extended hours, refreshed every five seconds for free users and streamed for subscribers. OTC listings, mutual funds and non-US listings are usually 15 minutes delayed, and a handful of exchanges are end-of-day only. Screener and market-mover pages refresh once a minute and do not poll.

Integrations

Effectively none by design. There is no API, no MCP server, no webhooks and no spreadsheet add-in, and the vendor's stated reason is licensing — it may display its providers' data but not redistribute it programmatically. Brokerage accounts sync into a portfolio, Pro exports one file a day, and there are iOS and Android apps.

Limitations

• No programmatic access of any kind, confirmed by the vendor rather than merely absent. This is a website, not a data source.
• The five-year free history is an S&P Global licence term, not a marketing choice, and the "10-40 years" sold on the Pro page is a range across providers — S&P caps paid users at 10 years, Fiscal.ai at 20, Nasdaq Data Link and Financial Modeling Prep go deeper. Long history means switching the data-source dropdown and accepting a different vendor's line items.
• Downloads are a different dataset from the page. S&P bans exports outright, so the file comes from a fallback provider and can disagree with the table you were looking at.
• No filings archive and no transcript search. The news feed is headlines linking out to publishers whose articles are mostly paywalled.
• No options analytics, no backtesting, no tax reporting, no order routing.
• Funded by advertising and affiliate commissions, and the terms of use concede that partner compensation may affect which topics the site covers — editorial content, not the data tables.

Alternatives

TIKR sells the same shape of product with Capital IQ depth and a global free tier that is US-only; GuruFocus goes to 30 years and adds 13F ownership for several hundred dollars a year; Stock Unlock adds a DCF model you drive yourself. If what you actually needed was the numbers in code, the providers behind this site — Fiscal.ai, Financial Modeling Prep — sell them directly. The rest of the field is in fundamentals and research platforms.
