Tykr
Stock Screener — Freemium
A stock-screening and analysis tool that scores companies as on-sale, watch, or overpriced for value investors.
On-sale value scoring
Overview
Tykr is a stock screener built for value investors who want a straight answer, not another chart to interpret. It scores companies as on-sale, watch, or overpriced, then pairs that label with a plain-language summary of the underlying financial health. The skill level required is deliberately kept low; this is built for beginners first, not veteran analysts hunting for an edge. This Tykr review is aimed at beginners and self-directed investors who want guided screening instead of a blank spreadsheet and a prayer.
The strength here is simplicity. On-sale value scoring turns a pile of ratios into one word you can act on, a real advantage over screeners that dump twenty metrics and expect you to know what matters. Built-in education explains why a stock earns its label, so the tool teaches value-investing logic instead of hiding it behind a black box. The value-investing focus stays consistent throughout, from the scoring system to the educational content, so the tool never tries to be everything to everyone.
The tradeoffs are just as clear. Tykr is not built for day trading, so anyone chasing intraday moves will hit a wall fast. Technical tools are limited too, no deep charting, no indicator stacking, which means active traders who lean on price action will need a separate platform for that work. Automation is not part of the pitch either; Tykr runs on manual research, so the screener surfaces a score and the investor still makes the call.
Coverage spans US stocks and global stocks, but the trading style is squarely long-term investing, not swing or day trading. There's no API access, though a mobile app is available for checking scores on the go. Starting price is Free / $29/mo Pro, under a freemium model, with a free trial to test the scoring system first. Skip Tykr if you trade short-term or need deep technical charting. Choose it if you want a repeatable, rules-based way to find undervalued companies without building your own spreadsheet.
