A StockAlert.pro alternative for everyday investors
StockAlert.pro is a web-based alert service with 26 alert types, major global exchanges, webhooks, and a developer API. TickStock takes a less-is-more approach. It intentionally covers only US-listed stocks and ETFs, plus crypto on Pro, and explains every metric in plain English, so there is less to sort through.
In short
StockAlert.pro is for investors who follow global exchanges or want webhooks and an API, with Premium at $19.99/mo and 50 texts a month. TickStock is for everyday investors who want a simpler setup, with US-listed stocks and ETFs only, plain-English explanations, and up to 200 texts a month, from $8/mo.
Your alerts have been triggered:
$120.00 (purchase) → $157.50 (+$37.50, +31.3%)
Alert types
StockAlert.pro has 26 alert types across 7 categories: price, technical indicators, volume, fundamentals, dividends, time-based reminders, and social buzz on Reddit and X. Its Premium plan allows unlimited alerts.
TickStock has 25 alert types, covering price moves, trend changes and moving average crossovers, volume, dividends, earnings, analyst changes, insider transactions, and news sentiment. It allows 35 active alerts on Premium and 100 on Pro.
Both suggest alerts for a symbol. StockAlert.pro’s AI suggests up to five alerts based on its analysis of the stock, and TickStock suggests a set of price, dividend, earnings, and news alerts.
Index benchmarks vs side-by-side comparison
StockAlert.pro’s free Performance Tool compares one stock’s historical returns with the S&P 500 and global market indices, over periods from 1 month to 10 years. It does not compare stocks with each other.
TickStock Premium and Pro charts benchmark a symbol’s total return against the S&P 500, over timeframes up to 5 years. 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.
Watchlists and portfolio tracking
StockAlert.pro includes a watchlist of 2 stocks on Basic and up to 100 on Premium, with a daily AI review of each stock and a daily summary email. It does not offer a way to enter holdings or track gains and losses.
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. Pro adds an AI analysis of each symbol.
Alert delivery and developer access
StockAlert.pro sends email on every plan, and Premium adds 50 text alerts a month and webhooks. It also offers a developer API.
TickStock sends alerts by email and push notification on every plan, and Premium and Pro add up to 200 texts a month. TickStock leaves out webhooks and a developer API on purpose, since they are built for programmers rather than everyday investors.
Price and free plans
StockAlert.pro Premium is $19.99/mo. Its free Basic plan allows up to 5 active alerts and 2 watchlist stocks.
TickStock Premium is $8/mo and Pro is $15/mo, billed monthly. TickStock Free allows 5 active price alerts on stocks, checked at market close.
Global exchanges vs US-listed only
StockAlert.pro covers major global exchanges, including NYSE, NASDAQ, XETRA, and the LSE. It does not cover crypto.
TickStock intentionally shows only US-listed stocks and ETFs, 15,000+ in all, plus crypto on Pro, to reduce noise and confusion.
Scores and research
StockAlert.pro generates AI reports on a stock’s pricing, fundamentals, earnings history, and news sentiment, and its AI scores and ranks the stocks on your watchlist each day.
TickStock scores every S&P 500 stock and 11 categories of ETFs 1–100 relative to their peers, updated nightly. Pro adds a plain-English AI analysis of each symbol, with an overview, risk and volatility, and an educational summary. Each stock’s Analysis page shows its fundamentals and earnings history.
News
StockAlert.pro includes news sentiment in its AI stock reports, alerts on social buzz on Reddit and X, and sends a daily newsletter.
TickStock has a news feed and a daily digest email for the symbols and topics you follow. Pro adds news sentiment alerts.
