For the record - I used to work at YCharts.

One of our loved features was the Screener - we modeled to make it as easy-to-use with setting your own custom metrics and really good timeseries information.

It's cheaper than FactSet and Bloomberg, and you can try a free trial from the site pretty easily.

I am a paying customer of YCharts and like it a lot generally, but the screener is actually lacking IMO. It does not have any historical data beyond TTM, though you are correct that you can create formulaic metrics. One of the things I like to screen for is growing revenue over multiple years, not just TTM; with screener from the OP here, YCharts and many others, that's not an option.
