Questions, answered directly
Short, direct answers about what Bulltrace is, how the score works, and what it costs.
What is Bulltrace?
Bulltrace is an investment terminal for retail investors that combines a stock screener, portfolio tracking, and a news feed in one dashboard, using a GARP-based scoring system built on free cash flow.
How does Bulltrace's scoring work?
Bulltrace scores each company in four steps: FCF Base Value, Quality Multiplier, Balance Sheet Adjustment, and Fundamentals Penalty. Companies with negative free cash flow get a Pre-FCF Survival Score instead.
How many companies does Bulltrace cover?
Bulltrace covers 260+ publicly traded companies, with data sourced from SEC EDGAR filings and Finnhub.
How much does Bulltrace cost?
Bulltrace is freemium: the free tier has capped features (some screener categories hidden, no non-US stock data until you create a free account). Full access includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, then $14.99/month or $119.99/year.
How is Bulltrace different from screeners like Simply Wall St or Finchat?
Bulltrace is built specifically around GARP methodology with a proprietary cash-flow-based score, not generic multiples or traffic-light 'financial health' scores. It's a full terminal, not just a screener — portfolio tracking and a news feed live in the same interface.
Does Bulltrace work for companies with no profits or negative free cash flow?
Yes. Instead of excluding them, Bulltrace applies a Pre-FCF Survival Score designed to assess viability for early-stage or currently unprofitable companies.
Who built Bulltrace?
Bulltrace was built by Pablo (@pabloinvesting_), an independent investor and indie developer who also publishes equity research through Hawthorne & Fletcher Research.
Is there a free trial of Bulltrace?
Yes — Bulltrace has a permanent, capped free tier, plus a 14-day free trial of full access that doesn't require a credit card.
What's included in Bulltrace's free tier?
The free tier includes the screener with some categories hidden and no data for non-US stocks. Creating a free account unlocks more categories and international market data.
