ScreenerHero Review 2026: Strengths, Limits, Who It's For

·6 min read·Nico Mena

An honest ScreenerHero review: what the European, US, Canadian and ASX/NZX screener does well, where it falls short, and who should pick something else.

ScreenerHero is a desktop-first stock screener that covers US, Canadian, European, Australian and New Zealand exchanges in one dense table. It is built for investors who filter on fundamentals and want European small caps and microcaps included. It is not a charting platform, a broker, or a source of real-time quotes.

For a side-by-side with other tools, see the six-tool European screener comparison.


What ScreenerHero is

ScreenerHero filters listed stocks by 40+ fundamental and technical fields: valuation (P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA), profitability (ROE, margins), growth, dividends, momentum and more. The result is a sortable table you can save as a preset, export, send to a watchlist, or open as a quote page with a chart.

The design goal is the opposite of a card-based finance app: as many rows and columns per screen as possible, and filter changes that update the table without a page reload.

What it does well

1. Coverage that includes the small end of Europe

The universe spans the major European exchanges, the alternative markets where most microcaps trade (Euronext Growth, Nasdaq First North, EGM Milan, GPW NewConnect), plus NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American, TSX, TSXV, ASX and NZX. If you screen across regions, you do not need a second tool for the US or Canada.

2. Speed and density

Filters are applied as you set them, and the table is built for scanning hundreds of rows. This matters more than it sounds: screening is an iterative loop of tightening and loosening a filter, and each reload breaks that loop.

3. Fundamentals you can filter on, not just read

Besides the usual ratios, there are screens for things that usually need a spreadsheet: earnings beat streaks, insider net buying over 90 days, shareholder yield and ROCE. See the earnings beat streak screener and the insider buying screener for worked examples.

4. Funds, warrants and test symbols are kept out of your results

A screener that returns a warrant or a fund in a "cheap stocks" list wastes your time. Funds and exchange-traded products without company data, warrants, bonds and exchange test symbols are hidden from lists and search by default.

5. A pricing model without a monthly fee

The paid plan is a one-time Lifetime payment, not a subscription. Several dedicated European screeners charge monthly. Current price and what the free plan includes are on the pricing page; we do not quote them here because the price changes over time.

6. Everything around the screen

Watchlists (shareable with other users), price and fundamental alerts with email digests, a portfolio tracker, side-by-side comparison, saved presets and charts with drawing tools.


Where it falls short

Reviews that list no weaknesses are not reviews. These are the real limits:

  • End-of-day and delayed data. ScreenerHero is not a real-time platform. Prices refresh through the day, but if you trade intraday on live quotes, use your broker.
  • Not a charting platform. The charts cover the basics and drawing tools. If technical analysis is your main workflow, TradingView is stronger.
  • No options data and no earnings transcripts. If you research with either, you will need another tool alongside it.
  • Microcap data can be incomplete. European microcaps often report late or thinly. Some rows have missing fields, and a filter on a missing field excludes that company. Check the data notes before trusting a ratio on a very small name.
  • The free plan has limits. The free plan caps the number of filters per screen, the number of rows returned, and the size of watchlists, alerts and portfolios. Paid removes those caps.
  • Analyst consensus is not the focus. If you screen mainly on analyst estimates, MarketScreener is built around that.
  • English only. The interface and content are in English.

Who ScreenerHero is for

A good fit:

  • Investors who build fundamental screens (value, quality, dividends, small caps) and want Europe, the US and Canada in one place.
  • Anyone hunting European microcaps who has found other tools list them without usable data.
  • People who dislike monthly subscriptions for a tool they use a few times a week.

Probably not a fit:

  • Day traders who need real-time quotes and level 2 data.
  • Technical analysts whose workflow lives in charts.
  • Investors who only buy US large caps; Finviz is excellent there.
  • Anyone who needs options flow or earnings call transcripts.

How to try it in ten minutes

  1. Open the screener and pick the exchanges you invest in.
  2. Set a market cap floor (EUR 100M is a reasonable start for small caps).
  3. Add a profitability filter, such as operating margin above 0%.
  4. Add one valuation filter, such as EV/EBITDA below 12.
  5. Sort by the metric you care about and read the top 20 rows.

Frequently asked questions

Is ScreenerHero free?

There is a free plan with the core screener. It limits the number of filters, results, watchlists and alerts. The paid plan removes those limits and is a one-time Lifetime payment rather than a subscription. See the pricing page for the current terms.

Which markets does ScreenerHero cover?

The US (NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American), Canada (TSX, TSXV), Europe including alternative markets such as Euronext Growth, First North, EGM and NewConnect, and Australia and New Zealand (ASX, NZX).

Is ScreenerHero real-time?

No. It uses end-of-day and delayed data. It is designed for screening and research, not for intraday trading.

How does ScreenerHero compare with TradingView or Finviz?

TradingView is stronger for charting and Finviz is stronger for US-only screening. ScreenerHero is built for fundamental screening across Europe, the US and Canada in one table. The European screener comparison covers the trade-offs in detail.

Can I export screener results?

Yes. Results can be exported to CSV, in the currency you have selected.

Is ScreenerHero good for European microcaps?

It is one of its main use cases, because the alternative markets are in the universe. Expect some missing fields on the smallest names; that is a property of how those companies report, and it affects every tool.


The verdict

ScreenerHero is a focused tool: dense, fast, broad in geography, and priced once instead of monthly. It is a strong pick for fundamental investors in Europe and a weak pick for traders who need real-time data or advanced charting. The free plan is enough to find out which group you are in.

Open the screener and run one screen on the markets you actually invest in. If the table answers your question faster than your current tool, that is the review that matters.
