A free Finviz alternative
Finviz is the go-to free screener for fundamentals, a huge filter set, and its well-known heatmap. MomentumSift is a free, momentum and options focused alternative that adds per-stock signal track records. Here is an honest comparison.
Open MomentumSift free →Finviz earned its place. The free screener covers a deep set of fundamental and technical filters, the heatmap is the fastest way to read the market at a glance, and the news and charts are genuinely useful. If you screen mainly on valuation, margins, or dividends, Finviz is hard to beat. MomentumSift is not trying to replace that. It is a free alternative for people who lean on momentum and options, and who want the signal to come with the stock's own history rather than a static filter result.

Who each is for
Finviz fits anyone who wants the broadest free screener, the heatmap, news, and fundamental filters, with real-time data and backtesting available on Elite. MomentumSift fits a momentum or options trader who wants an RS rating, a 12-point momentum read, unusual options flow, and per-stock cross history in one place, for free, and who does not need a deep fundamental screener.
What MomentumSift does differently
Instead of a static screen result, signals arrive with computed base rates. The golden cross screener shows how each name behaved after every past 50/200 cross (run, peak, drawdown, and forward returns), the RS rating screener ranks the market 1 to 99 by relative strength, and the options side adds IV rank, max pain, and an implied-move earnings calendar. It is free while in beta.
