StockAnalysis.com Review (2026): Is Pro Worth $79 a Year?
A working review of StockAnalysis.com — what the free site covers, what Pro adds for $79 a year, and where it beats platforms charging four times as much.

StockAnalysis.com covers 130,000+ stocks and funds. Its paid tier costs $79 a year.
For comparison: Morningstar Investor is $249. Seeking Alpha Premium lists at $299. That gap is the review in one sentence.
My take: the best data-per-dollar tool in retail investing. Free tier for checking a company's shape; Pro for anyone who wants real financial history. It picks nothing — you bring the judgment.
I spent nine years at Goldman Sachs running systematic market-making desks. The habit that survives is impatience with friction: when I want a company's numbers, I want the numbers. Stock Analysis is built by people with the same impatience.
The homepage: search a ticker, get the data. No login wall.
What StockAnalysis.com covers for free
The free tier needs no account and includes most of what a long-term investor actually uses:
- Full financial statements — income, balance sheet, cash flow — with ratios and margins
- A fast stock screener across the listed universe (317 filters)
- ETF pages with holdings and corporate actions
- IPO calendars and statistics (we cite these on our own IPO pages)
- Analyst ratings and forecasts per stock
Five years of Apple's financials, chart and table, on the free tier.
The catch on free is depth. History is limited, exports are locked, and ads run.
What Stock Analysis Pro adds for $79
Pro's feature list is short and practical:
- 10–40 years of financial history (the headline feature)
- Ad-free, plus dark mode
- Watchlists up to 100 stocks
- 100 price and news alerts
- One bulk export a day to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets
- Follow up to 25 analysts
An Unlimited tier (about double the price) removes the caps for people who export constantly.
Why the history matters: two years of numbers tell you almost nothing about how a business behaves through a cycle. Two recessions' worth of margins tells you a lot. Most sites truncate at five years or charge Bloomberg-adjacent prices for more.
There is no free trial, because the free site is the trial. Pro carries a 60-day money-back guarantee.
The screener: 317 filters, instant results — here, every 2024 IPO.
Where StockAnalysis.com falls short
Stock Analysis is a data site, deliberately. Know what you are not getting:
- No picks or model portfolio — it tells you everything about a company and nothing about what to do
- No written research — Morningstar's analyst reports are far deeper
- No community or crowd opinions — that is Seeking Alpha's territory
- Fewer screening factors than a specialist like Stock Rover
None of these are hidden. The site doesn't pretend to be more than a data platform.
Stock Analysis vs Ticker Nerd
Different tools for different jobs — plenty of people should use both.
| Stock Analysis | Ticker Nerd | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Clean data on 130,000+ stocks | The Ticker Nerd 20 — a rules-run portfolio |
| Who decides | You | Published rules over a ranked ~1,500-stock universe |
| Cadence | Always on | Reviewed every four weeks, plain-English brief per holding |
| Record | n/a — no picks | On the join page: every trade, losers included |
| Price | $79/yr | $199/yr |
The short version: if you enjoy the research and want raw material, get Stock Analysis Pro. If you want the portfolio decided by a system and explained in plain English, that is what membership is. Running your own checks on the twenty names with Stock Analysis open in the next tab is a perfectly good way to work.
Verdict: is Stock Analysis Pro worth it?
Yes, easily — for the right job. The free tier embarrasses several paid products. Pro at $79 a year is the cheapest serious data tool in the category, and the 10–40 year history is worth the price alone.
It won't pick your stocks. Nothing at this price will. As the data layer of a retail investor's stack, it is the current best buy.

Quick answers.
Is StockAnalysis.com free?

How much does Stock Analysis Pro cost?
Pro is $79 a year billed annually, or $9.99 month to month. A higher Unlimited tier removes Pro's caps on downloads, watchlist size and alerts. Both carry a 60-day money-back guarantee; there is no free trial because the free site is the trial.
