Chartink alternatives for Indian stock scans (October 2026)

Chartink alternatives for technical and swing scans on Indian stocks: prices, free plans, alerts, apps, refunds and who each suits, from vendor pages.

By , Research lead Updated 5 min read How we research these comparisons

The best Chartink alternatives are StockEdge for ready-made scans on a phone, Trendlyne for real-time screeners, screener alerts and backtests, and Tickertape for point-and-click technical filters. Screener.in suits traders who want fundamentals first, and Tapetide offers free preset technical and candlestick screens.

Why people look beyond Chartink

  • Free data is delayed. Real-time scans and 1 to 3 minute timeframes need Premium.
  • Alerts are Premium-only. No trial is offered for them.
  • No mobile app. Chartink says it is web-only.
  • No refunds once activated.
  • Backtests show matches, not returns. They list which stocks matched in the past, can repaint on open candles, and use today's fundamental values.

Chartink's free scan builder lets you write custom indicators and mathematical functions. If its web interface works for you, there may be no reason to switch.
