About Us
A free alternative to expensive options research tools, built around quality and ease of use for individual investors.
Financial freedom should be within reach
We believe everyone is entitled to the opportunity to build financial freedom. Access to useful research should not depend on an expensive subscription or a professional trading setup.
We created FreeOptionScreener to lower the barrier to entry for individual investors interested in using options to pursue their financial goals. Our focus is making research easier to understand, easier to use, and accessible without a subscription.
The screener is free forever
The screener itself is free forever. Filter and compare put and call contracts, choose your table columns, group results, share query URLs, and export the loaded rows to CSV. You can start without an account; signing in to save and load named queries is free too.
Quality means showing the context behind the numbers: bid and ask, provider IV and Greeks when available, company fundamentals, and earnings information. Usability means flexible rules and a readable table that let you focus on your own criteria.
Open the free screenerA window into our in-house research
We share limited access to the results of our internal, in-house research through the Daily watchlist. Selected lists highlight contracts to research for different investment styles, including balanced cash-secured puts and higher-premium puts.
These are starting points for your own research, not access to our entire research process. They help you discover what to watch, then explore the underlying companies and contracts in more detail.

When comparing other option screeners, look beyond the subscription price. Check which features are included, how easily you can express your criteria, and what data you are actually seeing.
