Koyfin vs TradingView

TradingView costs less to start. Its Essential plan is listed at $12.95 per month billed annually on TradingView's pricing page, while Koyfin's first paid plan, Plus, is $39 per month billed annually on Koyfin's pricing page; Koyfin Premium is $79 and its two Advisor plans are $209 and $299. Both products have a free plan: Koyfin Free costs $0 per month and includes 2 years of financials, 2 watchlists and 2 screens, and TradingView Basic is free with 1 chart per tab and 2 indicators per chart. Every new Koyfin account gets a 7-day trial of all features before it drops back to Free, while TradingView's trial length varies by plan, region and platform. Koyfin offers a full refund if requested within 30 days; TradingView's Terms allow 14 days for annual plans and 7 days for monthly ones. Both prices are in US dollars and were last checked in October 2026.

Koyfin is the deeper fundamentals tool of the two. Its help pages state that global equity fundamentals, consensus estimates and valuation come from S&P Capital IQ, and that fund data comes from Morningstar. Free accounts see 2 years of financials and 1 year of estimates, while Plus and above see 10 years of history. Transcripts cover 9000+ public companies back to 2004, and insider transactions are available from Plus. TradingView treats financials as chart data, allowing 4 financials per chart on Essential and 25 on Ultimate, and its screeners cover 500+ fundamental and technical fields. The trade-off on Koyfin is access: the vendor says it has no API because of restrictions from its data providers, and financials, estimates and valuation data for global equities cannot be downloaded from tables. Both vendors' pages were last checked in October 2026, on the vendors' own pricing and help pages.

No, Koyfin does not support scripting or backtesting; it offers custom calculation only as arithmetic formula columns in watchlists, and no scripting language, custom indicator language or strategy backtesting engine was found on its Features page or in its Charts and Graphs and Custom Formulas help articles. Its Historical Graph does not support minute or hourly candles: the vendor states that the shortest period is days. Koyfin's Advisor plans include model portfolios that advisors use to backtest portfolio performance, which is portfolio-level analysis rather than a strategy tester. TradingView lists Pine Script on all five plans and strategy backtesting with basic report metrics on all plans; Deep Backtesting is checked only for Premium and Ultimate and is capped at 2 million bars per calculation. Custom time intervals are checked from Essential, and second-based intervals from Premium. Both vendors' pages were last checked in October 2026, so anyone who needs intraday charts or strategy tests should plan around that gap.

Koyfin's equity screener scans over 100K global securities using 5,900+ filter criteria and exports results to a watchlist or CSV, according to its help pages; the Free plan includes 2 screens. TradingView lists stock, ETF, DEX and crypto screeners covering 150+ exchanges from 50+ countries and 500+ fundamental and technical fields, plus a Pine Screener on Premium and Ultimate. For alerts, Koyfin allows up to 5 on Free, 50 on Plus and 500 on Premium, and they can track price, valuation, technical indicators and documents such as filings and transcripts. TradingView allows 3 price alerts on Basic, 20 on Essential, 100 on Plus and 400 on Premium, with webhook notifications from Essential and multi-condition alerts from Plus. The two vendors count filters and fields differently, so these numbers are not like-for-like. Both vendors' pages were last checked in October 2026.

Koyfin covers global equities, ETFs, funds, currencies, crypto, commodities, indices, fixed income and economic data, but much of its price data is delayed: US stock prices combine live and 15-minute delayed data, Canadian prices are 15 minutes delayed and other countries are end-of-day, according to its help pages. Futures have limited front-month coverage with end-of-day pricing, and live prices are provided for 60 currency pairs and bitcoin. No separate exchange data fees were found on its pricing or terms pages. TradingView charts show real-time US stock data from Cboe by default; real-time NASDAQ and NYSE data is a $9.95 per month bundle for non-professional subscribers, and CME futures data is free with a 10-minute delay. TradingView's Help Center lists 70 crypto exchanges. Both vendors' pages were last checked in October 2026.

Koyfin runs in a web browser and has iOS and Android apps, which launched in 2022 and list watchlists, graphs, market movers, analyst estimates, news and transcripts; the mobile app page shows a screener as "Up next". Koyfin is an information service: accounts connected through custodian integrations are read-only, no order routing was found, and those integrations work only in Client Portfolios on the Advisor Core and Advisor Pro plans. Its My Portfolio tool tracks multiple accounts with lots, average cost and profit and loss converted into one currency including FX impact. TradingView is delivered on the web, as iOS and Android apps and as a desktop app, and trading through selected brokers and paper trading are checked on all five plans; its plans allow between 1 and 7 portfolios. Both vendors' pages were last checked in October 2026.
