Updated 2026-10-25. How we research these comparisons: https://tapetide.com/about/editorial-policy For a long-term investor, Screener.in gives the most value for money because its free plan covers ten years of financials and custom screens. If you pay, Trendlyne GuruQ gives the most screener parameters and backtests per rupee, with its current coupon. Tickertape is the easiest app with forecasts, and StockEdge suits investors who scan on mobile. We checked every price, limit and policy on each vendor's own pages on 24 October 2026. Tapetide is our product; it appears once below as a third option for AI questions and FII/DII data. ## How do the four compare at a glance? | | Screener.in | Tickertape | Trendlyne | StockEdge | | ----------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- | | Entry paid plan | Premium ₹4,999/yr | Pro ₹2,999/yr | GuruQ ₹2,990/yr (₹1,890 with coupon) | Premium ₹1,499/yr (coupon, 25 Oct) | | Monthly option | None, annual only | ₹399 | ₹390 | ₹399 | | Free plan | Yes, generous | Yes | Yes | Yes, limited | | Free trial | No | No | No | No | | Refund | Full, within 48 hours | None | None | None | | Screener | Query-based, 10 years of data | 247 filters | 1,758 parameters (GuruQ) | 500+ ready-made scans | | Analyst forecasts | Not found | Pro only | Yes | No | | AI assistant | Pay per answer | Portfolio AI in app | 7 credits a month (GuruQ) | Club plan only | | Mobile app | Android only | Android and iOS | Android and iOS | Android and iOS | | Best for | Free fundamentals | Beginners, US stocks | Depth, backtests | Scans on mobile | Prices are in Indian rupees, checked 24 October 2026 (StockEdge on 25 October 2026).

StockEdge's yearly price uses the DAZZLE coupon (25 Oct 2026); its list price is about ₹250 a month. - **Screener.in Premium bundles AI credits.** The ₹4,999 a year includes ₹500 of Screener AI credits, and it is the only one of the four that states GST is included. - **Refunds change the risk.** Screener.in refunds within 48 hours. The other three do not refund if you cancel mid-period. For a long-term investor, the free Screener.in plan covers most needs. If you want analyst forecasts and backtests too, Trendlyne GuruQ costs the least per year for them, at ₹2,990 list or ₹1,890 with its coupon. ## Screener.in - **Price:** free, or Premium at ₹4,999 a year.

Its TapeAi assistant answers from a company's financials, shareholding and flows, free for 10 questions a day (50 a month). Its free [FII/DII page](/fii-dii-data) shows daily flows, streaks and sector-wise FPI flows. Claude or ChatGPT can read NSE and BSE data through the [Tapetide MCP server](/mcp), free for 50 tool calls a day. - **Paid:** [Starter](/pricing) ₹3,588 a year or ₹499 a month, with a 7-day trial at ₹0. Payments are non-refundable after that. - **Limitations:** no mobile app, no alerts, no backtesting; younger, with fewer reviews; TapeAi caps on every plan. ## Switching between them 1. Keep your free account on the old platform; all four have one. 2. Rebuild your two most-used screens first; we found no way to import screens between them. 3. On Tickertape, Trendlyne or StockEdge, cancel auto-renew before the renewal date, because none refunds mid-period. Not investment advice. Tapetide is our product.
