Your problem starts after the headline appears
Market News AI is built for the “what does this actually mean?” step: direction, affected tickers, context, and observed market movement.
Finviz alternative for news analysis
A Finviz alternative for news analysis, not screening.
Finviz is excellent at screening, charts, market maps, and structured market data. Market News AI solves a different problem: it organizes breaking news into tracked analyses so active investors can quickly understand the directional read, affected tickers, and what the market has done since publication.
Market News AI vs Finviz
The right choice depends on whether your bottleneck is finding stocks or interpreting the news behind a move. Finviz Elite details below were checked against Finviz's official Elite page on August 20, 2026.
| Area | Market News AI | Finviz / Elite |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Turn breaking financial news into directional analyses with affected tickers and observed movement. | Screen, visualize, chart, and monitor stocks and ETFs using market data, technical/fundamental filters, portfolios, and alerts. |
| News analysis | Plain-English context for what happened, which way the read leans, and which tickers it may affect. | News aggregation and news alerts; not positioned primarily as a directional catalyst-analysis product. |
| Stock screener | No dedicated stock screener; focus is catalyst interpretation. | A core Finviz strength; Elite adds advanced/custom and ETF filters plus larger result views. |
| Charts | Market movement is shown around catalyst context rather than as a full charting workstation. | Elite includes real-time quotes and charts, multi-layout charting, and fundamental charts. |
| Alerts | Watchlist catalyst push alerts on web/mobile account surfaces. | Elite includes email/push alerts for price, insider activity, ratings, news, and SEC filings. |
| Export / API | Not a core public product promise. | Elite includes Excel/API export across screener, portfolio, groups, options, and news. |
| AI analyst | Pro includes Vance, grounded in Market News AI catalyst and market data. | Finviz Elite's public feature list is centered on data, screening, charting, alerts, and exports rather than a conversational AI analyst. |
| Current price | Starter: $0. Pro: $19.99/month or $199.99/year. | Elite: $39.50/month or $299.50/year. |
| Trial | 14-day Pro trial. | 7-day Elite trial; a payment method is required. |
