Fairvalue Radar / Stock valuation tools compared
Updated 29 August 2026 · includes where we are the wrong choice
Stock valuation tools, sorted by what they actually calculate
Ten products that all look like the same category and are not. Some estimate what a business is worth. Some rank it against its peers. Several calculate no valuation at all — they sell you data and let you do the arithmetic.
The useful question is not which tool is best. It is which of four things you want: raw data, a peer ranking, one valuation method, or several methods reconciled. Pick the wrong category and no amount of features will help.
The four categories
What kind of tool do you actually need?
Almost every product in this market falls into one of these. Working out which one you want takes about a minute and saves a subscription.
01 — Data terminals
No opinion, just numbers
Statements, ratios, charts, macro. They will not tell you what anything is worth; that is deliberate. You bring the method.
02 — Rankers and screeners
Relative, not absolute
Score a company against its peers and its own history, then hand you a percentile. Useful for narrowing a universe. It is not a price per share.
03 — One method, one number
A single lens, cleanly done
A fair value from one approach — usually a DCF, sometimes multiples. Fast to read. The risk is that a single method is confidently wrong on the businesses it does not suit.
04 — Several methods, reconciled
The disagreement is the signal
Run more than one method and read the spread. When they agree you have a tight answer; when they do not, that is information about the business, not a defect.

On our own row. Fairvalue Radar is in development and cannot be bought today. The free DCF calculator is finished and live; the scored product is not. We are listing ourselves here because leaving ourselves out of our own comparison would be worse, not because the product is ready to be chosen.
On the price column. Several vendors render pricing in JavaScript or block automated readers, so a figure copied from a review site cannot be trusted as current. Prices marked verified were read from the vendor’s own live page on 29 August 2026. The rest are deliberately left blank — a wrong price about a real company is worse than no price. Check the vendor directly, and tell us if anything here has gone stale.
The part most comparison pages leave out
When Fairvalue Radar is the wrong choice.
Written by us, about us. If one of the things on the right matters to you, buy something else — you will be happier and we will not have taken your money for a year.
Where we are genuinely different
- Four methods, reconciled and shown. Most tools pick one lane. Nobody else on this page runs DCF, forward multiples, PEG and net asset value together and lets you see where they disagree.
- Computed from the filings, not licensed. Every figure traces to the XBRL tag in the filing. Most competitors either license from S&P, LSEG or Morningstar, or do not say where their numbers come from.
- Built for people still learning. Every abbreviation opens its own definition and formula, at the moment it decides something.
- Read-only by construction, and your own model key. The broker link cannot place an order, and your prompts never touch our inference.
Where an incumbent beats us
- No analyst judgment. Morningstar has a human adjusting assumptions for moat and management. A model reading XBRL structurally cannot do that, and on complex or cyclical businesses it matters.
- No transcripts, no 13F tracking, no terminal. TIKR and Koyfin do those well and we do not do them at all.
- Our free tier is one company. TIKR and Koyfin give free access across thousands. Ours goes deep on one instead — if breadth is what you want for €0, take theirs.
- No track record yet. GF Value and Morningstar’s estimate have years of published history behind them. We launched in 2026 and have none. That is a real reason to be sceptical.
- SEC filers only. Foreign issuers filing a 20-F are covered; a company listed only in Europe or Asia with no SEC filing is not. Stockopedia is stronger across Europe.
- Net asset value is thin for asset-light businesses. On a software company that leg carries little, and the reconciled number leans on the other three.
Questions
Choosing between them
What is the difference between a stock screener and a valuation tool?
A screener ranks companies against each other on ratios and filters, and returns a list. A valuation tool estimates what one business is worth in currency per share, which you then compare with the market price. Stockopedia ranks; Simply Wall St, Alpha Spread and Morningstar value.
Do all stock valuation tools use a DCF?
No, and the differences are large. Simply Wall St and Morningstar are built on a discounted cash flow. GuruFocus derives fair value from a company’s own historical trading multiples. TIKR projects an exit P/E multiple. Koyfin and Stock Analysis calculate no fair value at all.
Which stock valuation tool is best for beginners?
It depends on whether you want an answer or an understanding. Tools that hand you one visual verdict are the fastest to read but hide their assumptions. Tools that show the method teach you more but demand more. A beginner is usually better served by one that explains its own vocabulary.
When is Fairvalue Radar the wrong choice?
If you need analyst judgment on a complex business, earnings-call transcripts, 13F guru tracking, a charting terminal, or coverage of companies that do not file with the SEC. Fairvalue Radar does none of those, and other tools do them well.
Why do the prices in this comparison have verification labels?
Several vendors render pricing in JavaScript or block automated readers, so a number found on a review site cannot be treated as current. Prices read directly from the vendor’s own live page are labelled verified, and the rest are left blank rather than guessed.
