Yes — the free tier includes full stock screening access across all 4,000+ stocks with no credit card required. Starter and Pro plans unlock backtesting, real-time monitoring, AI research summaries, and advanced features.
Finviz and Stock Rover are great screening tools. Tessera Alpha adds three things on top: sector-relative signals that compare each stock to its sector median (not absolute thresholds), a multi-agent AI research panel that synthesizes fundamentals into plain-language summaries, and full backtesting with 10 years of point-in-time data. The free tier covers screening — so you can try it side by side.
Authentication is handled by Clerk and payments by Stripe. Your password and card details never touch our servers — both are stored and processed by audited third-party providers (SOC 2 Type II for Clerk; PCI-DSS Level 1 for Stripe).
No. Tessera Alpha is an educational research tool. It does not place trades, hold custody of money, or make personalized recommendations. Backtested performance is not predictive of future returns. Use it to inform your own analysis — not as a substitute for it.
