Why Finviz Users Look for More Powerful Alternatives

Common Finviz Limitations That Drive Users Away:
  • US-Only Coverage: Missing 90% of global investment opportunities (only ~8,000 stocks)
  • Limited History: ~10 years of data can't test strategies across full market cycles
  • No Scoring Models: Can only filter stocks, not rank them by custom weighted criteria
  • No Portfolio Integration: Can't sync with your broker or track actual holdings
  • Basic Screening Only: No backtesting, no custom formulas, no thesis building

Finviz is great for quick US market scans. But serious fundamental investors need more.

Finviz vs Scrab: Common Questions

What's the key difference between Finviz and Scrab data? +
Finviz provides 8 years of detailed financial statements (Income/Balance/Cash Flow) but limited fundamental metrics (mainly EPS, Sales, Shares). Scrab offers 40+ years of calculated fundamental metrics (P/E, ROE, ROIC, margins) but doesn't show raw financial statements. Choose Finviz for statement details, Scrab for long-term metric trends.
Is Scrab a good alternative to Finviz for value investing? +
Yes, if you prioritize long-term fundamental trends over financial statement details. Scrab's 40+ years of metrics, custom scoring models, and 30+ years of analyst estimates help identify sustainable competitive advantages. Finviz is better if you need to examine specific line items in financial statements.
Can I export data from Scrab to Excel like Finviz? +
No, Scrab is designed to replace Excel entirely. All analysis, scoring, and backtesting happens within the platform. If exporting to Excel is critical for your workflow, Finviz offers full export capabilities that Scrab intentionally doesn't provide.
Do both platforms have real-time data? +
Both offer intraday prices but differently. Finviz Elite has real-time data across all features.
