Koyfin

Research & Analysis — Freemium

Professional-grade data intelligence platform offering vast macroeconomic screening and charting.

Stunning macroeconomic dashboards

Overview

Koyfin is a research and analysis platform built for investors who want institutional-quality data without paying for an institutional-quality terminal. This Koyfin review looks at what the data actually covers, where the free version has thinned out, and who gets real value from a paid plan. It's positioned as a professional-grade data intelligence tool, built around macroeconomic screening and charting rather than trade execution.

The charting and data visualization are built to institutional quality, which shows most in the macroeconomic dashboards — tracking global growth, rates, and cross-asset trends in a way that's genuinely rare at this price point. The screener goes deep, with more than 500 metrics and historical percentile ranking, so a stock or sector isn't just measured against today's number but against its own history. Coverage stretches across global stocks, forex, and commodities, giving a macro-minded investor one dashboard instead of five separate feeds. A free trial is available for testing the paid tier before committing.

The free tier is the honest weak point. It has become increasingly limited over time, so features that used to be free now sit behind the $39/mo starting price, and long-time free users have felt that squeeze directly. Koyfin also has no native auto-trading and no broker API execution, so nothing here places a trade — it's a research and screening layer, full stop, and it has to be paired with a broker to actually act on anything it surfaces.

Trading style support is listed as all styles, automation is manual throughout, and there's no mobile app, so this stays a desktop-and-browser tool. Skill level sits at intermediate, and there's no API access for pulling the data into outside systems. This fits a macro-focused investor who wants deep screening and charting without execution baked in; anyone who wants one platform that both researches and trades should look elsewhere.
