Simply Wall St alternative: traced figures
Simply Wall St covers 90+ markets with a free tier and a no-card trial. This product traces each figure it prints to the source behind it.
By Javier SanzPublished Updated : Our side now names the markets it covers as they are read when the page is served (2026-10-15), and reads the plans of 2026-10-06: the plan names, prices, trial and refund in the tables come from our own pricing constants, and the sentences about our product were corrected where they had gone stale. Every statement about Simply Wall St is as verified on 2026-09-18, the date in the note below.

Simply Wall St makes a company legible in seconds, across most of the investable world. ValueScreener takes the opposite trade: companies listed on NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSE American, plus 54 other markets with a Home Market Pack (see each market), 5,305 (counted ) companies with filed statements behind them, and every filed number openable down to the statement it came from. Which of those you want is most of this decision.
Reach against depth
| Simply Wall St, read 2026-09-18 | ValueScreener | |
|---|---|---|
| Markets | "90+ markets", "120K+ stocks" | NYSE, NASDAQ and NYSE American, plus 54 other markets with a Home Market Pack (see each market) |
| Data | S&P Global Market Intelligence, per their footer | EDGAR filings, ten years |
| Per-figure trace | Not found published | Formula, inputs, statement, fiscal year, filing date |
| Missing figure | Not established | Renders not available, never zero |
| Alerting | Saved screeners, smart updates, weekly email | Numeric rules on your own thesis, re-tested nightly |
Both build a company page out of the accounts, compute ratios, keep notes and screen. The table is where they part.
"Not found" and "not established" mean absence of published evidence on the pages we opened, not a denial. Their plans page publishes screeners, alerts and a weekly email; whether a numeric condition on a company's accounts can be set and reported the day a newly filed statement breaks it is not stated there. Here that is the whole product, and nothing arrives on the days nothing breaks.
What each costs
| Simply Wall St, as published | ValueScreener | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | EUR 0, "Free forever" | Curious: screener, company pages, watchlist |
| Entry paid tier | EUR 9.95 /mo, "119.40 Billed Yearly" | Serious: $29/month or $299/year |
| Top tier | EUR 19.95 /mo, "239.40 Billed Yearly" | Professional: $99/month or $999/year |
| Trial | 7 days of full Premium, no credit card | 30 days of Professional, no card |
| Refund | "14-day full refund" | 30-day money-back guarantee on a first payment |
Their pricing lives at /plans. The page served euros with no currency control, so nothing above is converted: a conversion would be our number, not theirs.
Where Simply Wall St is better
Ninety markets is the largest gap here and no amount of provenance closes it.
| Simply Wall St | ValueScreener | |
|---|---|---|
| Reading a balance sheet at a glance | A genuinely good visual report | Tables and cohort charts |
| Getting holdings in | Broker sync, transaction import | Typed, or a CSV |
| Clients | iOS, Android, Chrome extension | Web; phone apps not yet in a store |
| Starting | Free forever, or 7 days with no card | Curious: screener, company pages, watchlist, or 30 days of Professional, no card |
| Entry price | EUR 9.95 /mo | Serious: $29/month or $299/year |
Their FAQ on that last row: "Nothing is ever charged without you actively choosing to subscribe."
Who should pick which
More than one country, or the fastest readable summary of a business: theirs, and it is not close. Knowing which line of which filing a number came from, and wanting a nightly check on the numbers your reasoning rests on: that is the narrow thing this is for.
What this leaves out
Every claim about Simply Wall St here was read on their own plans page and site footer on 2026-09-18. Their years of fundamental history are not published on that page, so none is stated. Prices were read in euros and are not converted. "Not found" means absence of published evidence on the pages read.
