The honest comparison

Danelfin and free screeners are good.
Here's the one thing they won't show you.

Danelfin gives you a clean AI Score. Finviz and TradingView give you a free screener. Entry Point Trading gives you an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe — and the level where each call would be wrong stated up front. This is the fair breakdown. We make no return or win-rate claims; transparency is the point.

What Danelfin and free screeners actually do well

Danelfin's AI Score (1–10 per stock, blending technical, fundamental and sentiment inputs) is structurally similar to our Power Rankings — and in some ways it is easier to start with than EPT. Credit where it's due, here's what these tools do well and where the honest limits are.

Where Danelfin wins

  • A genuinely clean single-number score per stock
  • A free tier plus a low monthly price around $19/mo
  • A two-week trial to evaluate before paying
  • Published backtests and a long-running score history
  • Simple, focused, easy to understand at a glance

Where free screeners win

  • Free at scale — Finviz, TradingView, Barchart
  • Huge coverage, filters, and charting
  • Massive communities and documentation
  • No account needed to start screening
  • Great for building your own custom filters

If the cheapest possible scored-ticker list is what you want, one of these is a genuinely good place to start — and we'll say so plainly.

A black-box score vs a reasoned daily call

The real question isn't "cheapest score?" — it's "do I trust where this call came from, and does anyone tell me where it would be wrong?" Here's the difference across the dimensions that matter once you're trading real money. Note what's not in this table: any win-rate or return claim. We don't make them.

The honest line: If you want the cheapest scored-ticker list, Danelfin's free tier or a free screener is a genuinely good start — use it, and don't pay for what you don't need. Entry Point Trading is for traders who want an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe and a call you can trace, exit rules taught in the open, and the level where each read would be wrong, stated up front. We would rather earn your trust slowly than win it with a headline number.

Why we show the process instead of a win rate

Almost every AI-signal tool markets a headline win rate or a cherry-picked backtest. We don't publish performance at all. Our entry and exit rules are still being refined, so any performance figure we printed today would be one we couldn't stand behind — performance is measured internally, not marketed. What we show instead is the process: every call with its reasoning, the indicator readings behind it and the level where the read would be wrong. And we teach the uncomfortable truth that a high hit-rate can still lose money without exit discipline. That is the one thing a black-box score structurally won't do: show you where it failed.

The breadth compounds it. One dashboard scores every S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 name — plus sector, country and thematic ETFs — identically, every trading morning, with macro, options-flow, smart-money and technical analysis in the same place. No name is skipped because it was not interesting that day.

To keep this honest: EPT is research and decision-support, not investment advice, and not a promise of profit. It sharpens your process — it doesn't replace your judgment.

FAQ

Is EPT better than Danelfin?
Not in the way most comparison pages mean it. We don't claim better returns or a higher win rate — we publish no performance numbers at all until our live record earns them. Danelfin has a clean AI Score, a free tier, a low price, and published backtests. EPT is different on transparency and scope: an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe, with the level where each call would be wrong. Pick Danelfin for the cheapest scored-ticker list; pick EPT for reasoned calls and breadth.
Does EPT have a free tier or trial like Danelfin?
Danelfin offers a free tier and a two-week trial, both genuinely good ways to start. EPT's equivalent is a free preview and a free report you can read before paying, plus a 7-day money-back guarantee on any paid plan. We don't run a time-boxed trial — we'd rather you evaluate the real thing for free and stay only if it earns it.
Why won't you publish a win rate or profit factor?
Because our entry and exit rules are still being refined, and a performance number we couldn't stand behind would be marketing, not proof. Performance is measured internally and not published. What we show you is the process — every call with its reasoning, the indicator readings behind it and the level where it would be wrong — so you can judge it on its merits. This is research and decision-support, not investment advice.
What assets does EPT cover versus Danelfin?
Danelfin focuses on US equities. EPT scores every S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 name, plus sector, country and thematic ETFs, with macro, options-flow and technical context in one dashboard. If you only trade US stocks that breadth may not matter to you; if you trade across asset classes, no single-asset scorer covers the same span.
Is any of this financial advice?
No. EPT is impersonal market commentary and decision-support of general circulation, not personalized investment advice. Signals aren't tailored to any individual account or holdings, and there's no auto-execution. Not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research (DYOR).
