MarketPing vs Screener.in
Screener.in is India's best-known free fundamentals database — and it is built for looking backwards. Its alerts arrive by batch email (price alerts around 2 PM daily; the free tier's delivery is literally labelled "Delayed" on its own pricing page), there is no WhatsApp channel, and announcements arrive as raw exchange PDFs with no AI summary attached.
MarketPing is built for the moment news breaks: every NSE & BSE filing for your companies is AI-summarised, importance-scored and delivered to WhatsApp within minutes — with price-reaction history showing how the stock moved after similar announcements. Screener has no equivalent of any of that, at any price.
Screener remains stronger on raw screening depth — its custom ratio equations over 10+ years of data and 50,000+ community screens are genuinely good. But if the reason you research stocks is to act on what companies announce, a database you check tomorrow can't compete with an alert you read today.
At a glance
| Capability | MarketPing | Screener.in |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time filing alerts on WhatsApp | ✓Every NSE & BSE filing for your companies, delivered on WhatsApp within minutes of the exchange publishing it — on every plan, including free. | ✗No WhatsApp channel exists. Alerts are email — daily batches (price alerts ~2 PM; free tier delivery labelled "Delayed") — plus opt-in browser/app push. |
| AI summary on every announcement | ✓Every alert carries an AI summary in plain English plus an importance score, so you read the two lines that matter instead of the 40-page PDF. | ✗Announcements arrive as raw exchange PDFs. Screener AI is a separate pay-per-question chat (typically ₹10–30 per answer) you must ask yourself. |
| Importance scoring / noise filtering | ✓Importance scoring on every announcement + AI category and signal tags — routine reg-30 noise is separated from market-moving news. | ◐Keyword (phrase) alerts let you filter announcements by words you predefine — no scoring of what matters. |
| Price-reaction history on announcements | ✓Built-in price-reaction history: how the stock actually moved after past announcements, across 14 horizons from 5 minutes to 6 months. | ✗Not offered — announcements carry no data on how the stock reacted (verified across features, pricing, filings feed and changelog, Jul 2026). |
| Earnings-call analysis | ✓AI earnings-call analysis per company: tone trajectory across quarters, guidance tracking, and a said-vs-did comparison against reported numbers. | ◐Transcripts since 2021 + AI Concall Notes (condensed transcript). Free tier: 10 notes/month; unlimited on ₹4,999/yr premium. |
| Custom-formula stock screening | ✓108 metrics, two authoring modes — a visual ALL/ANY builder and a free-text formula language with cross-field arithmetic (e.g. ttm_net_profit / ttm_revenue * 100 > 12) — plus saveable custom metrics and an alerts screener that screens announcements themselves. | ✓Its signature strength: free-form ratio equations, custom ratios and columns, 50,000+ community screens. |
| Financial history depth | ◐10 years of financials (2016–2026) across 5,000+ NSE & BSE companies, quarterly and annual. | ✓10+ years of financials — the benchmark free fundamentals database for Indian stocks. |
| Peer comparison | ✓Peer comparison on the company page across fundamentals and valuation. | ◐Basic peers free (15 columns); detailed peer comparison is premium-only (55 columns). |
| Macro & market context | ✓Results calendar, economic calendar, NSDL FPI flows and a daily AI market briefing built in. | ✗Company fundamentals only — no economic calendar, FPI flows or market briefings. |
| IPO tracking & alerts | ✓IPO tracker: 1,150+ mainboard & SME issues since 2020 with live QIB/NII/retail subscription, after-listing performance, bankers ranked by outcome, and AI prospectus read-outs (page-cited risks, fresh-vs-OFS, implied P/E). Free WhatsApp IPO alerts + daily digest on every plan. Deliberately no GMP, no apply/avoid calls. | ◐IPO section since Oct 2024: upcoming issues with category-wise subscription + a "Recent IPOs" archive (~3 years, price-vs-issue only). No listing-day data, no allotment check, no AI prospectus analysis, no IPO alerts found (verified Jul 2026). |
| Stock discovery (catalyst & theme lists) | ✓Discover at marketping.in/discover: 18 catalyst buckets computed from AI-classified filings — contract wins, guidance raised, capacity expansion, promoter buying, demergers & amalgamations, pledges released, CEO & CFO exits, deleveraging, red flags — where every entry is dated, linked to the trigger filing, and carries the stock's measured reaction after it (1 day / 1 week / 1 month), over rolling 90-day windows with mirror views (guidance raised ⇄ guidance cut). Plus evidence-tiered theme lists (AI, EV, defence, data centers…): membership is tiered core / growing / announced / mention-only, each backed by a page-cited quote from the company's own annual report. Deliberately no analyst ratings, no verdict labels. | ◐The Explore page offers curated screen "themes" (e.g. "Capacity expansion", "Growth without dilution") plus 50,000+ community screens — all saved metric QUERIES over fundamentals. No filing evidence attached to any entry, no event dates or rolling windows, no price-reaction data, no AI/EV/defence-style exposure lists (verified 10 Aug 2026). |
| AI research assistant (grounded chat) | ✓Nexa AI at marketping.in/nexa: ask anything about Indian listed companies, answered ONLY from MarketPing's own warehouse — 30,000+ documents / 2.2 million+ pages of annual reports, concall transcripts and investor decks back ~10 years, plus fundamentals and measured price reactions. Every document claim carries a page citation the server VERIFIES against the filing text before you see it; every figure is machine-checked against the warehouse; buy/sell questions are refused by design. Flat monthly allowances, not credits: free sample questions for visitors, 10/month on the free account, 100/month on Investor, 300/month on Trader. | ◐Screener AI is a pay-per-question chat (~₹10–30 per answer) over a document you open yourself — no flat monthly allowance, and no advertised server-verification of citations or figures (their site, Jul 2026). |
| AI assistant connection (MCP server) | ✓An official remote MCP server at mcp.marketping.in/mcp: connect MarketPing to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, Grok, VS Code or any MCP client by pasting one URL — no API key, no signup, no broker account. 20 read-only tools give the assistant corporate announcements with their measured price reaction, page-indexed annual reports and concall transcripts it can quote with citations, the 108-metric screener, the no-GMP IPO tracker, the daily-rebuilt Stacks, FPI flows and calendars. Free, with generous daily limits. | ✗No official MCP server or AI-assistant connector. Third-party Apify actors scrape Screener.in for MCP use, but they are unaffiliated scrapers rather than a Screener product (verified 31 Aug 2026). |
| Stacks (combine screens, indices and lists) | ✓Stacks at marketping.in/stacks (Trader plan, ₹599/mo): combine any lists MarketPing can make — saved screens (including ones pasted from Screener.in), a hundred built-in screens, an index, a Discover catalyst bucket or theme, companies that announced a given filing in the last N days, your watchlist, broker-imported holdings, even another stack — under ONE rule: how many layers a company must clear today (a layer can also be must-be-in or must-not-be-in). Rebuilt every morning with a daily record of what entered, left, climbed or slipped, and WhatsApp when a stack's members change or a member files. Six curated stacks are public to browse without a plan. Membership is a fact about screens cleared — never a rating. | ✗Saved screens with email updates when a screen's results change — but no operation ACROSS screens: no intersection, no "in screen A and screen B", no counting rule, no index or watchlist scope inside a screen (features page and screener checked 6 Sep 2026). |
| Free tier | ✓Free forever for 5 companies — with the same real-time WhatsApp alerts and AI summaries as paid plans. | ✓Generous free tier (follow 50 companies) — but with delayed email delivery and capped AI notes. |
Competitor capabilities and pricing verified from their public websites and documentation on 25 July – 6 September 2026 (the MCP-server row was checked on 31 August 2026, the Stacks row on 6 September 2026); they may change. MarketPing figures are from live product data on the same dates.
The speed gap is structural, not incremental
Screener.in's alerting is email-first and batch-based by design: its own changelog describes price alert emails arriving "every day around 2 PM" and keyword alerts as daily summaries, and its pricing page sells premium partly on upgrading from "Delayed" to "Prioritised" email. If a company announces an order win at 9:20 AM, Screener's email model tells you after the market has already repriced the stock.
MarketPing watches the exchange feeds continuously and pushes the filing to your WhatsApp within minutes, already summarised and scored. The difference isn't polish — it's whether the information reaches you while it is still actionable.
Reading filings vs having them read to you
On Screener, an announcement is a link to the exchange PDF; understanding it is your job, and Screener AI charges per question to help. MarketPing inverts this: the AI reads every filing first and sends you the two-line version with an importance score, category and signals — and a tap opens the full analysis with the price chart and reaction history around the event.
MarketPing also answers the question Screener never touches: "so what happens to the price?" Every alert links to how the stock actually moved after similar past announcements, across 14 horizons from 5 minutes to 6 months.
The screening gap is smaller than you think
Screener.in's custom query language is rightly praised — and MarketPing has the same capability class. Its formula editor is a free-text query language over 108 metrics with cross-field arithmetic (write "ttm_net_profit / ttm_revenue * 100 > 12 AND ratio_debt_equity < 0.5"), AND/OR/NOT with parentheses, syntax highlighting and live validation; a visual ALL/ANY builder with a plain-English query summary covers the cases where you don't want to type expressions. Custom metrics — your own named ratios — become first-class fields usable in filters, columns and other formulas, exactly like Screener's custom ratios.
Where Screener.in genuinely keeps an edge: 10+ years of history to MarketPing's 10, and above all its 50,000+ community-shared screens built up over a decade — a library MarketPing doesn't have. MarketPing's counter is a screener Screener doesn't have at all: the alerts screener, which runs the same query model over corporate announcements themselves, joined to fundamentals.
The practical answer for many investors: screen wherever you like, but let MarketPing watch what your shortlist announces — because that is the part Screener structurally cannot do in real time.

Frequently asked questions
Does Screener.in send WhatsApp alerts?
No. As of July 2026 Screener.in has no WhatsApp channel — its alerts are email (daily batches; the free tier's delivery is labelled "Delayed" on its pricing page) plus optional browser/app push notifications. MarketPing delivers every filing to WhatsApp within minutes on all plans, including the free one.
Does Screener.in summarise announcements with AI?
Not automatically. Announcements appear as raw exchange PDFs. Screener AI is a separate pay-per-question chat (typically ₹10–30 per answer) for documents you open yourself, and AI Concall Notes condense transcripts (capped at 10/month free). MarketPing attaches an AI summary and importance score to every single alert at no extra cost.
Is MarketPing's screener as deep as Screener.in's?
On query capability they are the same class: MarketPing has a free-text formula language over 108 metrics with cross-field arithmetic (e.g. ttm_net_profit / ttm_revenue * 100 > 12), AND/OR/NOT logic, a visual ALL/ANY builder, and custom metrics that become first-class fields — matching Screener.in's custom ratios and equations. Screener.in's real edge is its 50,000+ community-shared screen library. MarketPing's counter-edge is a screener over announcements themselves plus price-reaction data on every result.
Which shows how a stock reacted to an announcement?
Only MarketPing. Screener.in has no price-reaction or event-impact feature (verified across its features page, pricing, filings feed and changelog as of July 2026). MarketPing shows the actual price move after each announcement across 14 horizons, and its Reaction Lab aggregates how similar announcements have historically moved stocks.
Can I use MarketPing and Screener.in together?
Yes, and many investors do exactly that: Screener for occasional deep-dive ratio research, MarketPing to know the moment any of their companies files something that matters — with the AI summary and likely impact already attached. MarketPing's free plan (5 companies, full real-time alerts) makes trying the combination free.
