If at any point of time you have used Chartink for screening stocks, you might find this useful too. Chartink is fast, free to start with, and its scanner lets you search through thousands of stocks and it is easy to see why Chartink has become a default choice for intraday and swing traders.
But screening is not a one-size-fits-all activity. Some traders want technical setups and breakout patterns. Others want to dig into a company’s balance sheet before buying. Some want a single score that tells them whether a stock is fundamentally sound, and some just want their portfolio and taxes handled in one place. Chartink does one job exceptionally well. The four platforms below do it differently, and depending on what kind of investor or trader you are, one of them might fit your workflow better.
Tradomate positions itself as an AI-first intelligence layer built specifically for traders, covering stock discovery and strategy testing in one place. Instead of asking you to build a scan from scratch, which you can also do if that is your style, they have ready-made public screens for the setups traders look for most often: crossovers, breakouts, reversals, top gainers and losers, and valuation-based filters. AI-assisted screener creation lets you describe what you are looking for in your natural language and have it built into a filter, so you are not stuck writing rules by hand. Its screener backtesting takes this a step further, letting you run a screen or setup against historical price data before you commit real capital to it, so you get a sense of how a strategy would have actually performed rather than relying on a hunch.
Apart from it you can layer in sector and index-level browsing, an events calendar to keep you ahead of market-moving dates. Detailed company pages let you plot candlestick patterns and show you dynamic support and resistance on your chosen timeframe, all with a click of a button. This makes it functions less like a plain scanner and more like a workspace built around a trader’s daily routine. You can also set custom alerts on your screen, watchlist and individual stocks so you don’t have to manually track the market.
Best suited for: Active traders hunting for fundamental and technical setups and breakout patterns, with news and backtesting without switching tabs.
Pricing: Freemium, with a paid tier at ₹249 per month.
Tickertape screener offers more than 200 filters spread across 13 categories, so you can slice the market by almost any rule you care about. If building filters from scratch feels like overkill, curated screens such as Cash Rich Smallcaps, powered by smallcase, give you a ready starting point.
Where Tickertape stands out is portfolio tracking. Link your demat account, and it will actively flag red flags in your holdings, warning signs that are easy to miss when you are tracking a portfolio manually. Its Market Mood Index gives a quick read on whether the broader market is fearful or greedy, and price and earnings forecasts with analyst ratings help you sanity-check a stock before you commit capital.
Best suited for: Everyday Indian retail investors.
Pricing: Freemium, with paid plans starting at ₹399 per month and going up to ₹2,999 per year.
Trendlyne is the closest thing to an all-in-one research terminal on this list. Its DVM Score condenses a stock’s financials, valuation, and price trend into a single quality rating, giving you a fast first impression before you dig deeper. Real-time screeners sit alongside SWOT analysis for a quick strengths-and-weaknesses read on any company.
Trendlyne also tracks what well-known investors are buying through its Superstar Portfolios and insider trade tracking, and rounds out its offering with portfolio analysis that includes tax and profit-or-loss reporting. Four dedicated tools push it further: MarketMind AI, a credit-based AI agent for market and stock questions; SmartOptions, a full F&O platform for building options and futures strategies and tracking Greeks; Alpha Alerts for real-time price, moving-average, and volume-spike notifications; and StarFolio, which lets you follow SEBI-registered advisor portfolios or build your own and execute through a linked broker.
Best suited for: Indian retail investors across the spectrum, from beginners who want guided research to serious investors who want granular control.
Pricing: Freemium, with paid plans ranging from roughly ₹2,190 to ₹10,000 per year depending on the feature set.
Screener.in strips away the noise and focuses entirely on the numbers. Every company page lays out profit, sales, and debt alongside auto-generated Pros and Cons and key ratios, so you get a fast, honest read on a business’s health. Its screener lets you filter thousands of companies using your own rules, or start from ready-made screens built around well-known investing formulas.
Everything on Screener.in is designed to feed into deeper analysis: Export to Excel sends a company’s data straight into a spreadsheet, fundamental charts turn years of results into simple visuals, and watchlists let you follow companies you care about. Stock and screen alerts notify you by email when something changes, and Screener AI can read a company’s official reports and earnings call transcripts, answering plain-English questions about them directly.
Best suited for: Long-term, fundamentals-focused investors, including those just starting to learn how to read a balance sheet.
Pricing: Freemium, with a paid Active Investor plan at ₹4,999 per year. Screener AI is billed separately on a pay-as-you-use basis.
There is no single right answer here, only the right fit for how you trade and invest.
Chartink still holds its own for pure technical scanning and alerting. But screening is only the first step. What you do with the list a screener hands you is where these platforms start to differ, and that is where it is worth spending a little time finding the one that matches how you actually invest.
