39	Summary	Easy to use plus awesome heatmaps	TradingView is attempting to parlay their best of breed charting tool with a stock screener entrée - and it's surprisingly good	Yahoo tries to provide a one stop shop and has seperate screeners for ETF's Futures, Mutual funds and Stocks, plus premium screeners	Intuitive and easy to use, but there is not enough to keep me coming back	-	Mixed feelings on the investing.com stock screener. First of all, the free version is basically worthless. Remaining summary applies to the paid version. Great depth of data for making fundamental screens.
40	Specialities	Data is standardized	Tons of technical indicators	Yahoo is going for breadth over depth with their screeners	None	-	Fundamentals

56	Screener Analytics	2023 Update: Yes! Click on "stats" to get summary stats by sector, market cap, country and performance vs benchmark / S&P 500 graph and stats	No	Basic Intraday performance heatmap	Category tabs but no aggregate		5 tabs of screen results help for analytics, but there are no composites or attribution
57	Screener Backtesting	Simple, non-configurable backtest, 1 year, equally weighted	No	No	No		No
58	Usability
59	Sortable Results	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
60	UX	Good	On par with charting apps, some avoidable complexity but overall high marks. Responsive design, but breaks down on a phone	A little clunky but workable	Basic, serviceable but easy to beat		The page layout was not great as it left a lot of usable space in the margins, I like the graphic sliders showing the distribtion of result, but it was a bit hard to articulate

63	Custom fields in watchlists	No	Few	92	No		Yes

65	Longs	Perhaps the best Free stock screener on the web?	dark mode, logos, complex operators, volume weighted indicators, global coverage	Offers a cool heatmap view of results	I like the layout and ease of use.		About 20 ETF specific Screening Fields. Nice to have both normalized data and actual reported financial data. After running your screens the pro version of the analytics page for each Security is pretty good.
66	Shorts	Finviz does not innovate fast and sometimes I want data that is not normalized	Could be integrated to watchlists, backtesting or point in time	Without Point in Time or Backtests, Yahoo needs some innovative data to hook me	Not enough data for Investment Professionals or Alpha seekers		The Paid version is mostly worthless except for the Entity type and the UI used for the free version is totally different that the UI for the paid version. Some slow Performance. No running count of the number of securities passing the screen
67	Notes	User friendly	After this review I will be trying the windows desktop app. This stock screener warrants consideration. Also the paid version is mostly just for charting and maybe not needed for the screener	Yahoo Finance Plus comes with other stuff, like historical data besides a better screener. The fair division between the free and paid does not yield the free as worthless	Basic entry level screener - people come to this site for long term historical charts		Extensive selection of Equity Types such as prefered, REIT, Warrants, Notes etc
70	Estimated Top Domain Traffic	15,000,000	154,826,059	161,900,000	2,863,233		244,251,684
