Tickertape review: free plan, Pro price and limits (October 2026)
A factual Tickertape review: what the free plan covers, what Pro adds, prices, refunds, app ratings, the MCP connector and when an alternative fits better.
Tickertape is a good fit if you want screening, analyst forecasts, a multi-broker portfolio tracker and US stock investing in one app, and Tickertape Pro costs ₹2,999 a year on its current annual offer. Skip Pro if you only need financials and basic screens: the free plan already covers 178 of its 247 screener filters.
