A Stock Alarm Pro alternative for everyday investors
Stock Alarm Pro is a research terminal with alerts, with a screener, valuation models, insider trading data, and phone call delivery. TickStock takes a less-is-more approach for everyday investors. It keeps to a focused set of alerts and data, and explains every metric in plain English, so there is less to learn and less to sort through.
In short
Stock Alarm Pro is for investors who want a research terminal, with unlimited alerts and phone call delivery on Gold at $20/mo. TickStock is for everyday investors who want something simpler, with less to learn and every metric explained in plain English, from $8/mo.

A research terminal vs focused alerts and analysis
Stock Alarm Pro is a research terminal. It includes a screener, DCF valuation, analyst estimates, insider trading data, institutional and ETF holdings, a strategy tester, and a research notebook.
TickStock’s Stocks and ETFs pages work like a guided screener. The Analysis page shows analyst scores, price targets, and ETF holdings, and insider transaction alerts cover insider trades. TickStock leaves out valuation models and strategy testing on purpose, to keep the focus on the symbols you follow rather than on building models.
Phone calls vs text messages
Stock Alarm Pro’s Gold plan includes unlimited alerts, delivered by push notification, email, or phone call. Its free plan includes 3 alerts.
TickStock sends alerts by email and push notification on every plan, and Premium and Pro add up to 200 texts a month. It leaves out phone calls on purpose, so an alert keeps you informed without interrupting your day. TickStock allows 5 active alerts on Free and up to 100 on Pro.
Comparing symbols
Stock Alarm Pro compares stocks, ETFs, or crypto with valuation multiples, momentum, moving average trends, and 52-week ranges.
TickStock Premium and Pro compare stocks and ETFs side by side, with historical returns, trend, volatility, dividends, and valuation multiples. ETF comparisons show how much the funds overlap, and Pro adds crypto and an AI analysis of the symbols you compare.
Portfolio imports vs one list for watching and owning
Stock Alarm Pro’s Gold plan includes portfolio monitoring, with holdings added by hand or imported from a statement or CSV file.
TickStock Premium and Pro include a watchlist of up to 100 symbols. On Pro, it doubles as a portfolio, with shares, purchase prices, gains and losses, and historical sector allocation, performance, risk, and dividends.
