Alternatives · prices checked 24 October 2026It depends on what you use TradingView for. For free charts, use your broker's own platform: thinkorswim at Schwab, Webull and IBKR Desktop cost nothing with an account. For automatic trendlines, chart patterns and backtests without code, TrendSpider. For futures, NinjaTrader. For research, Koyfin or Finviz. And for one record of every trade across your brokers, options included, AllInvestView, free for 10 holdings.
TradingView itself is free with ads, one chart per tab and two indicators per chart. Paid plans run from $14.95 a month for Essential to $239.95 for Ultimate, or $12.95 to $199.95 a month billed yearly.
TradingView does a lot in one place. Each tool below does one part of it better, so start with the part you use most.
If you already trade at one of these brokers, its own platform gives you full charts, alerts and paper trading without a subscription.
Desktop, web and mobile, with no minimum to open the account. paperMoney gives you $100,000 of virtual money to practice with, and the desktop version runs your own thinkScript studies.
Track a Schwab account
Free charts on desktop, web and mobile, and a paper trading simulator with unlimited virtual cash to try a strategy first.
Track a Webull account
Charts across stocks, options, futures and forex in many countries, with free streaming US quotes from Cboe One and IEX. Full exchange data is billed separately.
Track an IBKR accountTradingView finds chart patterns for you only on Premium and above. These tools are built around doing that work automatically.
Draws trendlines and Fibonacci levels for you, spots candlestick and chart patterns, and backtests a strategy without writing code.
Real-time scans of US stocks and options, with Nasdaq Basic data included. Premium, at $49.99, adds EasyScan conditions and your own formulas.
Automated trading with Expert Advisors written in MQL5, and a Strategy Tester to run them on past data first.
For finding the next stock rather than timing the entry on the one you picked.
Charts with fundamentals, estimates and macro data beside the price, and dashboards you build yourself.
Koyfin alternatives

Finviz alternatives

Offered by hundreds of brokers and banks for forex and more, on Windows, Mac, Linux, the web and your phone.
TradingView Portfolios keeps stocks, funds, forex and crypto, but not options. If you want every trade from every broker in one record, start here.

Free US stock prices are real-time from Cboe, which can differ a little from the main exchanges. Nasdaq, NYSE and NYSE Arca cost $3 a month each, or $9.95 for the US bundle, and buying data needs a paid plan or a trial. Ultimate is the only plan for professional users.
TradingView added portfolios to keep your holdings next to the chart. Here is what it keeps, from its own help pages, and what changes when the same trades live in AllInvestView.
TradingViewAllInvestViewIf you trade options, bring your broker's own history rather than a TradingView export: it has every leg, roll, assignment and expiry, which TradingView Portfolios has no place for.
Your charts can stay in TradingView or your broker's platform. AllInvestView is where every trade from every broker ends up, with the options, the gains and the tax worked out.
Build an iron condor, a spread or any mix of legs and see the premium, the most you can make and lose, both breakevens and the combined delta and theta, with the payoff at expiration drawn for you.
Try the payoff calculatorAllInvestView
Open options show their delta and theta, closed trades keep their P&L and win rate, and assignments and covered calls are linked into one cycle, so you see the premium a stock has paid you and what the shares really cost after it.
See the wheel trackerAllInvestView
The US pack fills Form 8949 row by row and totals Schedule D from your stock and ETF sales. A loss you take at one broker and buy back at another within 30 days is flagged as a wash sale, which a single broker's 1099-B can't see.
See the US tax reportAllInvestView
Connect Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Webull, tastytrade and more, or upload their history. AllInvestView keeps each lot at its cost, tracks your options and dividends, shows your return for any dates and works out the capital gains tax.
For charts, your broker's own platform: thinkorswim is free with a Schwab account and no minimum, and Webull and IBKR Desktop are free with theirs. Without a broker account, StockCharts and Koyfin have free charts. For keeping a record of your trades, AllInvestView is free for one portfolio of 10 holdings.
Yes. Basic is free with ads, one chart per tab, two indicators per chart, three price alerts and one portfolio of 20 holdings. Paid plans are $14.95, $34.95, $69.95 and $239.95 a month, or $12.95 to $199.95 a month billed yearly. US stock prices on the free plan are real-time from Cboe; data from Nasdaq and NYSE is extra.
TrendSpider draws trendlines and Fibonacci levels for you, spots chart and candlestick patterns and backtests strategies without code. Standard is $89 a month, or $54 a month billed yearly. TradingView has auto chart patterns too, on Premium and Ultimate.
TradingView Portfolios holds stocks, funds, forex and crypto, not options, and it leaves out short sales and margin positions. AllInvestView tracks options with their Greeks, premium and wheel cycles, and you can try it for 14 days without a card.
Yes. The best file to bring is your broker's trade history, since it has the options and short sales TradingView Portfolios can't hold. Connect the broker from Starter, or upload its file on any plan. Your charts can stay in TradingView.
Yes. Plenty of traders chart in TradingView and keep the record of what they actually bought, sold and earned in AllInvestView, where every broker ends up in one place with the tax worked out.
