Note: THIS IS NOT AN AD- everything here is completely free and I make no money

Overview: I was always frustrated about the stock analysis websites such as Simplywall.st where we have to pay money for a nice UI and all-in-one package where we find the most important stock data in one place.

So I thought i can do it too but for free. Also I always liked memes and I thought let me make my own r/wallstreetbets but with AI and statistics

Looks good! Would it be possible to make it accessible without requiring a login? (Because the minute you see "sign up for free" it starts to smell like "free" as in "not actually free", like most websites.)

Thanks for the feedback. I feel you. I will try to remove it in the near future. The login is more of a security layer against bots scraping the website easily.

I will think about other free security layers to remove the login feature :)

Is it libre/free source?

Nothing seems to be there.

Or it is just freemium.

It appears to be his startup idea, so I imagine they're looking for ways to monetize this but it's not clear what the plan is:

> I've been working on my startup idea for the past 2 months now. The idea is to provide data science tools to any retail investors regardless of their background. Everyone should have a fair chance to analyze the market and hopefully it makes the life of the user much easier.

Hi,

yes that was the initial plan however, i thought why not make it completely free for everyone.

The goal still remains to help small investors to bead the hedge funds

Nope no freemium.

Completely free whatsoever

How do you plan to cover the costs?

so far i pay everything from my own pocket. data provider, server, my own living expenses BUT i will probably add (*less) annoying ads and affiliate links similar like reddit to pay the bills and the servers :D.

I have a research background that's why i strongly believe in free knowledge

I’d be happy to pay a bit for this tool. I love the UI. It would be awesome if ETFs were added down the road.

Thanks,

ETF,Market Index and cryptos will be added soon. So stay tuned :)

Simply Wall St has and will always have a free plan ;)

UI looks great though, nice work!

Yes but the free plan is quite useless.

You can only analyze 5 stocks. That's it!

Mind sharing your data provider(s) ? Thanks

honestly i don't recommend my data provider because a year ago when i bought their license it cost me $700.

Now they are charging me $2100 because of "inflation" with zero advantages or new perks whatsoever.

That's why I don't want to advertise my provider.

Mind sharing so I don’t use them then?

I searched for this comment. I was looking at the metrics and thought, "yep, that's what they're using." I like the presentation of the site.

Why sign up if it's all supposed to be free?

A security layer for bots to not scrape my whole website and burning my server :D.

You can use a fake email address if you want.

I am not here to sell your data; that is Zuckerberg's job.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Nevertheless everything is completely free. I just want to help small investors to fight the big hedge funds

Favorites lists seem to be the main reason, at least for now
