Stock Analysis (stockanalysis.com) is the rare finance tool we actually pay for and use — and one of only three companies that pay WiseIQ a commission, so read this knowing both things are true. Here's what the free tier does, what Pro adds, and who shouldn't bother.
What the free version already does
The free site is legitimately one of the best free stock research tools available: clean quote pages, ten years of income statements, balance sheets and cash flows, a working screener with core metrics, ETF holdings breakdowns, and no ad-cluttered interface. If you check a few tickers a month, stay on the free tier — you don't need Pro, and it would be dishonest of us to pretend otherwise.
What Pro adds — and who it's actually for
| Feature | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Financial statement history | 10 years | 30+ years |
| Screener metrics | Core set | Full set (hundreds of metrics & ratios) |
| Export to Excel/CSV | — | Yes, everything |
| Screener filters saved | Limited | Unlimited |
| Revenue & EPS forecasts | Basic | Extended analyst data |
Pro is built for one person: the investor who does their own research — running screens weekly, comparing financials across a decade, exporting to their own models. If that's you, the export feature alone justifies the price against Bloomberg-lite alternatives that cost 5–10x more.
Who should not buy it
Index-fund investors (you don't need a screener to buy VTI), anyone still carrying high-APR debt (a guaranteed 24% "return" from paying off a card beats any screen you'll ever run — see our payoff calculator), and beginners who haven't yet read a 10-K (start with the free tier and our screener tutorial).
Pricing and the honest math
Pro runs about $149/year at the time of writing (verify current pricing on their site — it changes). Code WISEIQ takes 10% off through our link. Our commission comes from Stock Analysis, not from a markup — the code price is the same or better than going direct.
