ScreenerHero vs Koyfin

Koyfin is a research terminal
with a screener attached.
ScreenerHero is a screener
with charts attached. $10 less.

Koyfin Plus is a well-regarded platform at $39/month — professional dashboards, macro data, and global charting. The screener is capable but secondary to the research workflow Koyfin is built around. ScreenerHero inverts the hierarchy: the screener is the product. If you spend most of your time filtering stocks rather than building dashboards, ScreenerHero is €29/month and covers the European microcap universe Koyfin misses.

Updated May 2026 · Honest comparison, including where Koyfin is genuinely better

The core difference

Koyfin: a professional research terminal

Koyfin is built for investors who want a Bloomberg-lite experience — custom dashboards, multi-asset charts, macro data, portfolio tracking, and peer comparisons. The screener is solid and covers global markets, but it is one feature among many. The $39/month Plus plan includes a lot of capability that screener-focused investors may never touch.

ScreenerHero: a screener, nothing else

ScreenerHero is built around one workflow: filter thousands of stocks by fundamental criteria and surface actionable ideas. The charts are functional but basic. There are no macro dashboards, no portfolio analytics, no economic indicator overlays. Every product decision prioritises screening speed and European fundamental coverage over research features. At €29/month, you are paying for exactly what you use.

Where Koyfin is genuinely better

Professional dashboardsKoyfin's custom dashboard builder — with drag-and-drop widgets, multi-asset charting, and saved layouts — is significantly more powerful than anything in ScreenerHero. Analysts and portfolio managers who live in a terminal will find Koyfin closer to the Bloomberg/FactSet experience at a fraction of the price.

Macro and economic dataGDP, CPI, yield curves, central bank rates, PMI — all integrated alongside equity data. ScreenerHero is equity-only. If your investment thesis starts with macro and flows down to stock selection, Koyfin is the better tool.

Portfolio tracking and peer analysisMulti-portfolio monitoring, custom metric tracking, and peer comparison groups are well-developed in Koyfin Plus. ScreenerHero's Pro plan has basic watchlists but no portfolio analytics.

Charting qualityKoyfin's charting is substantially more capable — multi-asset overlays, custom time periods, technical indicators, and comparison charts. ScreenerHero has basic price charts that serve the screener workflow, not deep chart analysis.

Historical financial data depthKoyfin Plus includes 10Y+ historical financials for most global companies. ScreenerHero focuses on current-period fundamentals for screening, not historical trend analysis.

Where ScreenerHero is genuinely better

European microcap coverageEuronext Growth Paris, Nasdaq First North, EGM Milan, GPW NewConnect — alternative market listings across Europe where data coverage is thinnest. ScreenerHero covers these markets as a core priority. Koyfin's fundamental data for sub-€300M European listings is inconsistent.

Price for screener-focused users€29/month vs $39/month — if you use the screener 80% of the time and ignore dashboards, you are paying $10/month for features you are not using on Koyfin. ScreenerHero is the lower-cost path for screener-centric workflows.

No account requiredScreenerHero's full screener works without creating an account. Koyfin requires account creation before accessing anything. Useful for evaluators or one-off searches.

Screening as the primary UXIn ScreenerHero, the screener is always one click away. In Koyfin, it is nested within a broader research interface. For investors who filter stocks as their primary daily action, the ScreenerHero UX is more direct.

Transparent data gapsWhen fundamental data is unavailable for a European microcap, ScreenerHero shows the gap explicitly rather than filling it with stale or estimated values.

You need to track macroeconomic indicators alongside equity dataKoyfin — GDP, inflation, yield curves, and central bank data integrated with stock analysis is a Koyfin strength ScreenerHero lacks.

You screen European microcaps on Euronext Growth, First North, or EGMScreenerHero — Koyfin's fundamental data for these markets is inconsistent. ScreenerHero covers them as a primary focus.

You want the cheapest path to global fundamental screeningScreenerHero at €29/mo — Koyfin Plus is $39/mo for a more complex tool. If you use 80% of your time in the screener, you're overpaying for features you don't use.

Can you use both?

Yes — they serve different parts of the research workflow. Use ScreenerHero to filter and surface stock ideas from the full US, Canadian, and European universe. Then open Koyfin to build a dashboard, chart the business over time, and compare it against peers. The tools are complementary rather than competing for the same workflow step. ScreenerHero is free to start — no account needed.

If screening is your primary workflow, stop paying for dashboard features you don't use.
