KovaView vs Finviz
Data as of 2026-07. Pricing changes; verify on each vendor site.
Finviz is one of the best free (and affordable Elite) stock screeners on the web: maps, groups, and a broad filter set that many traders open every morning. KovaView is a different product: a bilingual risk cockpit that ties posture, rotation, scoring, sizing, and a reconcilable ledger into one workspace.

Where Finviz is strong
- Genuine free tier with delayed data: screener, maps, groups, news, and basic charts without paying.
- Elite is priced accessibly: about $39.50/mo monthly or $299.50/yr (~$24.96/mo), with a 7-day Elite trial (card required).
- Breadth of classic screening and visualization: heat maps, multi-layout charts on Elite, export/API for power users.
Where KovaView differs
- Native English/Chinese workspace end to end, not a bolt-on translation layer.
- Proprietary Kova Score plus RRG-style sector rotation for leadership and money flow.
- IBKR-linked ledger reconciliation and a position-sizing discipline path in the same product.
- Live screener linked to charts, EMA/Discord alerts, and a free login tier that opens Learn plus limited charts.
- Software $89/mo · Kova VIP Member $139/mo.
If you mainly need a free, broad US screener and heat maps, Finviz is hard to beat. If you want one bilingual desk for direction, rotation, scoring, risk size, and a ledger you can reconcile, KovaView is built for that job.
