Screener.in review: free plan, Premium and limits (October 2026)
A factual Screener.in review: what the free account covers, what Premium adds, Screener AI costs, the refund window, the app and when an alternative fits.
Screener.in is a strong free choice for fundamental screening, because its free account lets you write your own queries on ten years of financial data. Screener Premium costs ₹4,999 a year and mainly lifts limits, so it is worth it only if you hit the free caps or need Excel automation.
Tapetide is our product, and it appears below only as one alternative. This review uses Screener.in's own premium, AI and docs pages and its Play Store listing, checked on 25 October 2026.
