Is Stock Rover worth it?
The screening depth is genuinely best in class. Two things most reviews get wrong: the prices are considerably higher than the figures still circulating, and it does not cover the UK market at all.
The short answer
Stock Rover is one of the most capable fundamental screeners available, and for UK investors it is largely beside the point, because it covers US and Canadian listings only. If you invest in the FTSE, it cannot screen your market. If you invest in US stocks and enjoy deep data work, it is excellent — but it now costs considerably more than most reviews suggest.
What it actually costs in 2026
Four paid tiers, with the Essentials entry tier retired. Annual billing:
Monthly billing is substantially more: $34, $70, $99 and $199 respectively. Two-year prepay brings Premium down to $24/mo. There is a permanent free plan, but it has no screener — news, dashboard and basic watchlists only.
The monthly limits nobody mentions
Premium is not simply "the cheap tier with fewer measures". It is rationed — you get a monthly allowance, and when it runs out you wait for the next month. You get 20 Stock Scores and Investor Warnings per month, 15 screeners, 250 rows per screen, two brokerage connections and 15 portfolios. If you are researching seriously, twenty scores a month goes quickly.
More importantly, fair value sits on Premium Plus, at $588 a year. If a valuation estimate is the thing you are paying for, the entry tier is not the tier you want — and that changes the price comparison considerably.
Where Stock Rover genuinely wins
The screener is the best in class for depth. Seven hundred different measures, the ability to write your own formulas instead of only ticking boxes, and historical screening — filtering for something like five straight years of earnings growth — which most competitors simply cannot do.
The portfolio analytics are also unusually strong: it shows how your holdings move together, runs thousands of simulated futures to test how a portfolio might hold up, suggests when to rebalance, forecasts your dividend income, and connects to over a thousand brokers. If portfolio-level modelling is the work you want to do, this is where Stock Rover earns its price.
The 14-day trial requires no credit card, which is more generous than most.
Where it does not fit
So is it worth it?
If you invest in US and Canadian stocks, want the deepest screening available to a retail investor, and will use the portfolio analytics, then yes — Premium at $348 a year is defensible and Premium Plus at $588 is worth it if you want fair value estimates.
If you invest in UK or European companies, it is not a question of value. The data is not there.
Use the 14-day trial before deciding, and take it at Premium Plus rather than Premium so you see fair value and research reports. If you find the interface off-putting in the first week, that impression rarely reverses.
If it is the wrong fit, here is the alternative we built
Stock Rover is the deeper instrument for detailed screening and portfolio modelling. That is what it is for, and it does it well. The question is whether that is what you need.
Where it cannot compete: the market you invest in. Stock Rover covers US and Canadian listings only. Oak Growth covers 1,000+ companies across eight markets — the FTSE 100 and 250, the US, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Germany and France. For a UK investor this is not a feature comparison, it is the difference between a tool that works and one that does not open your market at all. Seven hundred metrics on companies you are not buying is not seven hundred metrics.
What you get for the valuation: Stock Rover puts fair value behind Premium Plus at $588 a year, and meters stock scores at twenty a month on the tier below. Oak Growth publishes a discounted cash flow intrinsic value and margin of safety on every company in the universe, on every plan, with no monthly allowance to run down. There is one price, £18 a month, and no tier where the valuation is withheld.
And it tells you when, not just what. Oak Growth pairs each valuation with entry-timing signals — RSI, moving averages, support and resistance, golden and death crosses — so you can see whether an undervalued company is stabilising or still falling. Stock Rover is a research and portfolio platform; it is not built to answer that question.
Oak Growth is £18 a month, one plan, no monthly allowances, with a seven-day trial. If you have read this far because Stock Rover does not cover your market or the valuation sits a tier above your budget, it is worth a look.

How much does Stock Rover cost in 2026?
Four tiers on annual billing: Premium $29/mo ($348/yr), Premium Plus $49/mo ($588/yr), Ultimate $79/mo ($948/yr) and Ultimate Pro $149/mo ($1,788/yr). Monthly billing costs more at $34, $70, $99 and $199. The older Essentials tier at $7.99 has been retired, though many review sites still quote it.
Does Stock Rover cover UK stocks?
No. Stock Rover covers US and Canadian listings only — roughly 8,500 stocks, 7,000 ETFs and 40,000 funds, none of them on the London Stock Exchange. For a FTSE investor it is not a usable screener regardless of its other strengths.
Is the Stock Rover free plan any good?
It is permanent but limited: market news, a dashboard and basic watchlists, with ads. The screener is not included at all, so the free plan cannot do the thing Stock Rover is known for. You need at least Premium to screen.
Does Stock Rover give a fair value estimate?
Yes, but only on Premium Plus and above, which is $588 a year on annual billing. Premium also meters Stock Scores and Investor Warnings at 20 per month. If valuation is your reason for subscribing, budget for the higher tier.
