Free users can have up to 5 active alerts, Premium users 35, and Pro users 100. All plans include email and push notifications, while SMS is available on Premium and Pro.
No. There is no cap on the number of notifications you receive. Whenever one of your active alerts triggers, the corresponding email, push, or SMS notification is sent. There are no daily, monthly, or per-alert limits.
Most alerts are checked at the end of each trading day using official closing prices. You can enable intraday checking for price alerts on stocks and ETFs to get notified throughout the trading day (using 15-minute delayed market data). Cryptocurrency price alerts are checked continuously (using 5-minute delayed data). Learn more about alert types.
You can track 15,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs, plus cryptocurrencies on Pro. Free users are limited to stocks only, and Premium users to stocks and ETFs.
Pro subscribers can use the Advanced Watchlist for portfolio-style recordkeeping, including holding details such as shares and purchase prices, labels, custom columns, and the Insights panel for historical sector allocation, performance, risk, dividends, earnings, and holdings information.
Not a traditional one. Instead of building queries from dozens of filters, you use the Discover page, a guided screener built around prebuilt lists. Assets are grouped into ready-made lists, such as stocks by sector, high-dividend ETFs, and major indexes and commodities. Premium users can browse stocks and ETFs, while Pro users can also browse crypto. Each group offers two views: long-term performance, which reflects returns over longer periods, and recent movers, which reflects the latest price activity. See how assets are scored.

Each asset on the Discover page is recalculated nightly and assigned a 1–100 score. Different asset categories use different blends of factors, and the blend also depends on whether you select a long-term or short-term horizon.

  • Primary: Heavily weighted in the score
  • Secondary: Moderately weighted in the score
  • Used: Contributes a smaller portion of the score
  • Adjustment: Multiplier that boosts or reduces the weighted score

Exact weights, normalization curves, and thresholds are proprietary and may change as we refine the methodology. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Scores are informational only and are not investment recommendations.

Pro subscribers get AI-powered analysis that provides comprehensive asset overviews, risk and volatility analysis, and educational summaries based on recent price data, news sentiment, corporate actions, and broader market trends. AI analysis is informational only and is not investment advice.
Absolutely! You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time from the Account page. Upgrades take effect immediately.
