| Buydy | Alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Visual model | Research grid: label groups, percentile cells, raw values in the same workspace. | Performance tile mosaic that is easy to scan and hard to persist as a weekly process. |
| Peer set | 163 ETF category labels with mid-rank percentiles. | Broad market color blocks that mix mandates. |
| Live access | https://app.buydy.co/etf-heatmap and https://app.buydy.co/etf-screener with no login to view. | Public snapshot pages; deeper work often stays on that site's own tools. |
| Cost | $0 forever. No credit card. Free account only for saved views, custom columns, and CSV export. | Free snapshot tool with separate paid upgrades on adjacent products. |
When to use Buydy instead of a tile map
Use Buydy when the question is which funds look unusual versus peers on expense ratio, yield, or return windows, and you want to save that screen. Use a tile map when you only need a one-look market mosaic.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Buydy a Finviz clone?
- No. Buydy does not reproduce Finviz tiles. It ranks ETFs with label peer percentiles and pairs them with a screener, stock heat map, and indexes.
- Do I need to pay?
- No. Buydy is 100% free forever. Live views need no login. A free account unlocks saved views and CSV export.
