Pros

- 3.5M+ instruments across stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, futures, and more
- 400+ built-in indicators plus 100K+ community Pine Script tools

- Built-in screeners, economic calendars, and earnings dates in one workspace
- Connect supported brokers and trade from the chart (paper trading included)
- Paid plans start with 30-day trials — Essential from ~$12.95/mo billed annually
Cons
- Free tier caps you at 1 chart tab, 2 indicators, and 3 price alerts — tight for serious traders
- Mobile free tier shows ads; ad-free charting requires a paid plan
- Real-time NASDAQ/NYSE data is an extra subscription on top of plan fees
- Advanced tiers (Premium ~$60/mo, Ultimate ~$200/mo) add up fast if you need everything
- Pine Script and pro tools have a learning curve — not as simple as Robinhood charts
- Social feed and public ideas can be noise — treat them as ideas, not financial advice
- Professional users may need the Ultimate tier; lower plans have feature restrictions
