The Top 6 Alternatives to Yahoo Finance
Yahoo Finance used to be the go-to resource for stock quotes, financial statements, and company-related news.
But not anymore. Many users have been leaving the site after a redesign that was made several months ago and are looking for alternatives.
Here's my list of the best Yahoo Finance alternatives in 2025.
Summary view
- Best overall: Stock Analysis
- Best for in-depth analysis: Seeking Alpha
- Best for researching ETFs & mutual funds: Morningstar
- Best for charts and technical analysis: TradingView
- Best real-time newsfeed: Benzinga

1. Best alternative overall: Stock Analysis
- Overall rating:
- Pricing: Free
Stock Analysis has stock quotes, financial statements, statistics, business metrics, dividend data, charts, and news for 100,000+ stocks and funds.
Best of all, it's simple to use and lightning-fast.
Beyond exploring individual stock information, you can also:
- Find new stock ideas with our stock lists, stock screener, and ETF screener.
- Dig deeper into specific companies with our analyst ratings, price forecasts, Top Analysts, and other stock research tools.
- Stay up to date with our heatmap, earnings calendar, IPO calendar, live news feed, and free daily newsletter.
You can also create watchlists after registering for a free account. The watchlists are completely customizable with over 200 indicators, so you can easily stay on top of whichever metrics matter most to you.
While we try to provide as much as we can for free, our data providers require us to keep certain data behind a paywall.
To unlock unlimited access to all of our data and tools, including downloads, you can upgrade to Stock Analysis Pro for just $9.99/month (or $79/year for an annual subscription).
But don't worry — you can use almost all of the site completely free without ever bumping into a paywall.
2. Best for in-depth analysis: Seeking Alpha
- Overall rating:
- Pricing:
$299/year$269/year after a 7-day free trial
Seeking Alpha also has stock quotes, financial statements, and other objective data, but that's not what makes it one of the most popular investing websites in the world.
Open up Seeking Alpha and you'll find thousands of exclusive investment research reports written by investors from all over the world.
Each report covers a specific investment idea, a rating (buy, sell, or hold), and a price target:
Inside each report, you'll find thoughtful analysis about the company in question and data to support the author's argument.
Long-term investing is really about thinking through different scenarios and trying to determine which one is most likely to happen. As investors, we construct narratives around companies and make buy/sell decisions based on those assumptions.
Seeking Alpha's articles make it so you don't have to do all that work by yourself.
In addition to the opinionated research, I also frequently use Seeking Alpha's scorecards. The two I use the most are:
- Ratings: These show the aggregate ratings of Seeking Alpha analysts, Wall Street analysts, and Seeking Alpha's quantitative algorithm.
- Factor Grades: These rate stocks based on their valuation, growth, profitability, momentum, and revisions.
For dividend investors, there are also Dividend Grades, which rate dividends by safety, growth, yield, and consistency.
In my opinion, Seeking Alpha Premium is well worth the $299/year price tag. I've been a paying subscriber for more than five years.
Right now, you can get Premium for $269/year and a 7-day free trial.
3. Best for researching ETFs & mutual funds: Morningstar
- Overall rating:
- Pricing: Free
Morningstar is another investing website that, in my opinion, doesn't get mentioned enough.
A couple of things I really like about it are:
- Mutual fund data: Includes NAV, investment style, expense ratio, yield, turnover, and performance.
- Market Barometer: (Pictured above) shows how each category of stocks is performing today.
- News feed: Full of objective, smart, opinionated, and well-researched write-ups.
- Content: Articles on personal finance, retirement planning, alternative investments, and more.
For these reasons, Morningstar is a trusted resource for many financial advisors.
Morningstar does have a paid service, Morningstar Investor, which unlocks its proprietary rating system and subscriber-only analysis.
You'll also unlock portfolio management tools that break down your portfolio's composition, risk, and performance.
4. Best for charts and technical analysis: TradingView
- Overall rating:
- Pricing: $14.95/month (after a 30-day free trial)
Stock Analysis' advanced charts are good for long-term investors who are looking for general entry/exit points, but anyone who is serious about day or swing trading should use a more powerful tool.
My recommendation: TradingView.
TradingView is the best website for charts and technical analysis. But you don't have to take my word for it — TradingView has over 90 million users on its platform.
Here are some of the features you'll find:
- 17 chart types
- 400+ indicators
- 110+ drawing tools
- Custom timeframes
- Multiple charts per tab
- Bar Replay (which allows you to quickly practice trading on real charts)
- And much more
Moreover, it's all on one of the best-looking, simple-to-use interfaces I've ever seen.
You can use TradingView for free, but most serious traders will want to upgrade to a paid plan.
I recommend Essential or Plus which are $14.95/month and $29.95/month, respectively, after a 30-day free trial.
5. Best real-time newsfeed: Benzinga
- Overall rating:
- Pricing: $37/month
For the news-centric trader, Benzinga Pro is your best option.
Benzinga is known for being one of the fastest news providers in the industry and will keep you informed of breaking developments as they happen. As you're well aware, a few seconds can mean the difference between a profit and a loss.
Not only is the feed faster, but the information is also provided in a way that makes it easier for you to act fast. The headlines are concise and relevant, helping you identify opportunities and make decisions without needing to read the entire article.
Benzinga also aggregates analyst ratings, upgrades and downgrades, earnings announcements, economic reports, and more.
However, the free version of Benzinga is not as good as it used to be and most of the news are now behind a paywall. You can upgrade to Benzinga Pro (for $37/month) for a much better interface.
6. Best API alternative: FinancialModelingPrep
- Overall rating:
- Pricing: $29/month
If you're using Yahoo Finance's API and are looking for an alternative, you should check out FinancialModelingPrep.
What's an API?
An API (which stands for Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols that allow different software applications to communicate and exchange data with each other.
In this case, developers can use FMP's API to pull financial data into their applications, saving them the trouble of aggregating all of the data themselves.
FMP's API includes real-time stock prices, financial statements, historical data, and more.
In addition to stocks, you can pull information for cryptocurrencies, forex, ETFs, and other financial instruments. In all, FMP supports over 70,000 symbols.
FMP also provides excellent documentation for how best to use its API so you won't have to spend time digging around on GitHub for answers.
You can get some end-of-day data for free, but you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to access real-time data (which start at $29/month). Use the coupon code "stockanalysis" to get 10% off.
How we chose the best Yahoo Finance alternatives
When evaluating investing products and services, we take the following into consideration:
- Core offering: How good the product or service is — i.e., how accurate the data is, how many features the site has, and how much users like it.
- Cost: Overall price and value for money.
- Usability: What the interface looks like, how easy it is to navigate, design elements and features, and general accessibility.
- Credibility: Quality of the data as well as company and brand reputation.
- Audience: Who the product is for, its uses and applications, if it's the best option available, and any limitations therein.
- Offers: Whether there is a special offer for signing up or any discounts.
Final verdict
That's my list of the top Yahoo Finance alternatives in 2025.
Stock Analysis is the clear winner when it comes to a true Yahoo Finance replacement. It has everything Yahoo Finance offers (and more) but is easier to use, has a cleaner layout, and is much faster.
After Stock Analysis, Seeking Alpha is the next best alternative. It's not free, but it comes with thousands of in-depth research reports you won't find anywhere else.
For researching ETFs and mutual funds, as well as some of the most well-researched and objective news and articles on personal finance, retirement, and more, there's Morningstar.
TradingView is the best option for traders who need a charting platform, and Benzinga provides the most actionable real-time newsfeed.
For developers looking for a new API, FinancialModelingPrep rounded out the list.
