Simply Wall St alternatives
Outgrown Simply Wall St?
Here's what serious investors use instead.
Simply Wall St is a genuinely good tool for learning how to analyse a company. But it is designed around visual summaries for individual stocks — not for screening a 1,000-stock universe by your own criteria. When your strategy becomes specific enough to have real thresholds, you need a different kind of tool.

What Simply Wall St does well — and where it stops
Simply Wall St is not a bad tool. It is an honest, well-designed tool for a specific type of user. The issue is that most investors eventually evolve past the workflow it is built for.
Stage 1 — Learning
Simply Wall St fits well here
You want to understand how a company is valued. Visual snowflakes and plain-language explanations help you build intuition without drowning in numbers.
Stage 2 — Building a methodology
The friction starts here
You've developed specific criteria: P/E below X, ROE above Y, debt/equity under Z. Simply Wall St's snowflake visualization can't represent these thresholds. You want a filter, not a score.
Stage 3 — Systematic screening
A dedicated screener takes over
You run the same filters every week across 1,000+ stocks. You sort by a combination of metrics. You compare results. Simply Wall St is not designed for this workflow — it is designed for exploring one company at a time.

TradingView
Best if charts are central to your process
If your process involves price charts alongside fundamentals, TradingView has the best charting of any tool on this list. The screener works but is not its strength — fundamental coverage for European small caps is uneven.
Coverage

Approach
Chart-first; screener is secondary
Experience
Powerful charting, weaker screener for fundamental workflows
Signs you're ready to switch from Simply Wall St
You have specific numerical criteria — P/E below 15, ROE above 12% — and you want to filter by them, not read around them.
You want to screen 500+ stocks in one session, not browse one at a time.
You focus on European equities and need reliable coverage below large cap.
You run the same screens repeatedly and want to save and reuse filter presets.
The snowflake visualization feels like it's summarising away the nuance you actually care about.
You're spending more time looking up the raw numbers behind the infographic than reading the infographic itself.
Common questions
Will I lose the company analysis depth I have in Simply Wall St?
Partly. Simply Wall St wraps its data in narrative explanations that are genuinely useful for understanding a company. ScreenerHero shows the raw numbers — you get more data points per company faster, but without the prose summary. Most investors who make the switch find they no longer need the narrative once they understand the underlying metrics.
Does ScreenerHero have any visual company analysis — not just tables?
Each instrument page includes price charts, key fundamental ratios, and an earnings and dividend calendar. The focus is on the numbers, not visual narratives. If you want deep visual financial analysis of a specific company, Simply Wall St still does that better for that specific job.
How does ScreenerHero compare on price?
Simply Wall St starts at around $10–25/mo depending on your plan. ScreenerHero's core screener is free with no account required. Premium (alerts, exports, extended data) is €25/mo.
Can I use both tools together?
Yes — many investors use ScreenerHero to build a shortlist via filtering, then use a more narrative tool like Simply Wall St for deeper single-company review. They solve different jobs in the same workflow.
