SteadyShares vs Simply Wall St
Simply Wall St is very good, and it is the reason we built some of what we built. Here is what it does better than us, and the specific thing we do that it does not.
Simply Wall St has better visual design and far broader coverage than we do. What it will not tell you is how any of its screens were built, or when they are wrong.
Where Simply Wall St is better
They cover tens of thousands of companies across effectively every exchange. We cover around 1,600, concentrated in the US and a handful of other markets. If you want an obscure listing, they will have it and we probably will not.
It compresses five dimensions of a company into a shape you can read in a second. It is a real piece of information design and we have nothing that matches it.
Polished iOS and Android apps, a support team, S&P Global as a data provider, and years of iteration. We are new, and you should weigh that.
Where we are better
Their 'Undervalued Stocks Based On Cash Flows' shows you a list and never tells you what 'undervalued' meant. Ours prints the exact filter, in numbers, on the page. If you disagree with the screen you can see precisely what to disagree with.
Every one of our idea pages carries a 'when this screen is wrong' section. A low-P/E screen is a screen for value traps. A high-yield screen is a screen for dividend cuts. Publishing a list without its failure mode is how people get hurt, and nobody in this category does it.
140 guides and 81 defined terms, every one with a diagram and an interactive simulator you can drag. No signup wall, no email capture, no free trial that expires.
We analyse 107,302 institutional 13F holdings and 5,000 political trades ourselves, publish the numbers live, and print the limitations next to them. One of our studies is an audit of our own data admitting three quarters of it is not what it claims.
If you want the widest possible coverage, a polished mobile app, and you are happy to trust a score without seeing how it was calculated, they are the better product and it is not close.
If you want to see the method, know when it fails, and read the theory for free without handing over an email address, this is the one.
