A free Google Finance alternative
Stock Buddy was built by someone who missed the old Google Finance: a clean page with quotes, a chart, a watchlist, and nothing else. It keeps that simplicity and adds the things Google Finance never had, like email price alerts and a portfolio tracker.
Open Stock Buddy Free. No ads. No account needed to browse.
What's the same
- Fast quote lookup by ticker or company name, with a clean stock page: price, day range, 52-week range, market cap, P/E, EPS, dividend yield, beta.
- An interactive chart and a market overview on the homepage (US indices, Europe, Asia, currencies, crypto, futures).
- A watchlist that syncs across devices when you sign in with Google.
- Free, and you don't need an account to look things up.

What Google Finance still does better
Honestly: integration. If you live in Google Sheets, the GOOGLEFINANCE formula is hard to beat, and Google's search box will always show a quote card faster than any website. Stock Buddy is for the part after that, when you want to actually track things.
Moving your watchlist over
Sign in with the same Google account, search each ticker, and click Add. Most people are done in a couple of minutes. Your list then syncs to every device you sign in on.
