Official FAQ (scanz.com/docs/04-faqs, capture 2026-09-23): Free is $0/month with 30-minute delayed data and access to the full feature set — no card required for that permanent Free seat. Starter and Pro also advertise a 7-day free trial of real-time data; a credit card is required and the trial auto-converts unless you cancel. Prefer Free when delayed learning / testing is enough; prefer Starter / Pro / Ultra when you want standing real-time data on the paid cards.

What does Scanz cost / Scanz pricing?

Standing public cards on scanz.com/pricing (capture 2026-09-23): Starter $89/month; Pro $199/month; Ultra $999/month. Pricing page headline: all (paid) plans include 100% real-time data and news. Official FAQ also documents Free $0/month with 30-minute delayed data. Starter and Pro include a 7-day free trial (card required; auto-converts unless cancelled).

Is Scanz worth it / Scanz review?

Worth it for the job when you want a scanner-first desktop / web / mobile desk for US equities — Data / Signal / News / SEC Filing scans, Level 2, charts, watchlists, and alerts — with public Starter $89 / Pro $199 / Ultra $999 monthly cards. Skip if you need Canadian-listed or other international scanning (official FAQ: US equities only), options flow or crypto scanners (FAQ: not part of the product), or live broker execution inside Scanz today (roadmap / coming soon). This directory review is a fit map, not a ranking and not financial advice — we do not invent star ratings and we are not saying Scanz is the best scanner.

No. This directory lists Scanz as real-time stock-scanning / charting / news analysis software. Public pages describe scanners, Level 2, charts, watchlists, and alerts. Broker trading integrations are labeled coming soon on pricing / FAQ / homepage Execute marketing — not shipped as a standing custody broker on the pages we reviewed. Do not treat this page as a how-to for placing trades.

Does it work in Canada?

As analysis software, you can attempt to open scanz.com / app.scanz.com from Canada. Official FAQ: Scanz does not scan or quote international markets; UK, Canadian, and Australian traders use Scanz to trade US markets specifically — that works fine — but if you need to scan FTSE, TSX, or ASX stocks, this is not the tool today. Free plan coverage is Nasdaq-only with delayed quotes; Starter and Pro include NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX, and OTC. Named Canadian-broker integrations (Questrade, Wealthsimple, TD Direct Investing, Interactive Brokers Canada) are unverified. CAD billing totals are unverified on the public pricing cards we captured (USD monthly). TFSA / RRSP and Canadian tax treatment are outside this review.

How is Scanz different from Trade Ideas, TC2000, ChartMill, or Finviz?

All sit on the chart-and-screen-stocks job — not a ranking. Scanz’s public story (2026-09-23) is a scanner-first real-time US equity desk with news / filings scanners and a Free delayed on-ramp plus Starter / Pro / Ultra monthly cards. Trade Ideas’ public story is a paid TI Standard / Premium scanner floor with AI-automation labels. TC2000’s public story is a paid Worden EasyScan® / options charting desk with optional US-only brokerage. ChartMill’s public story is a TA+FA screener with delayed data and documented TSX coverage. Finviz’s public story is a free heatmap / screener on-ramp plus Elite real-time. Prefer Scanz when real-time US scanning + news/filings in one scanner desk is the job. Prefer Trade Ideas when that higher paid scanner packaging is the job. Prefer TC2000 when EasyScan® / PCF / options charting is the job. Prefer ChartMill when delayed TA+FA + TSX docs is the job. Prefer Finviz when free heatmaps / Elite are the job. This page does not rank them.

Verdict

Scanz homepage hero — verdict (captured 2026-09-23)

Official scanz.com homepage — real-time scanning platform framing (captured 2026-09-23).

Scanz is real-time stock-scanning / news / charting software for active US equity traders. Public product pages at scanz.com describe curated and custom Data / Signal / News / SEC Filing scanners, Level 2, charts, watchlists, alerts, pre-market / regular / after-hours sessions, and web / desktop / mobile access. Homepage and pricing also market an Execute / broker-trading path as coming soon — not a standing custody broker on the pages we reviewed.

Authoritative dollars (scanz.com/pricing + docs FAQ, captured 2026-09-23):

Plan	Public price as shown	Data note (official)
Free	$0/mo (FAQ)	30-minute delayed; Nasdaq-only on Free per FAQ
Starter	$89/mo	Real-time; web + mobile; 1 scan at a time; limited saves / watchlist
Pro	$199/mo	Real-time; desktop + web + mobile; unlimited saves / alerts / watchlists
Ultra	$999/mo	Everything in Pro + concierge scans, API, automated trading hooks, dedicated CS

Pricing page: All plans include 100% real-time data and news (paid Starter / Pro / Ultra cards). FAQ also documents the permanent Free delayed seat. Starter and Pro: 7-day free trial (card required; auto-converts unless cancelled). Month-to-month; no contract on the FAQ / pricing answers we captured. No annual plan cards on the pricing page capture.

This directory lists Scanz primarily as charting / screening software for the chart and screen stocks job. A scan is not a buy list. We are not saying Scanz is the best scanner, the best news tool, or the best purchase. We do not invent star ratings. We are not saying it will make a strategy profitable.

Best for

Chart and screen stocks with a scanner-first real-time US equity workflow (Data / Signal / News / SEC Filing scans per product docs).
Day and swing traders who want pre-market / regular / after-hours session filters and short timeframes (homepage / FAQ: down to 1-minute; daily / weekly supported for swing).
Starter at $89/mo when one simultaneous scan, limited saved scans, and a single 20-symbol watchlist are enough on web / mobile.
Pro at $199/mo when unlimited simultaneous scans, saved scans, alerts, watchlists, custom columns, desktop layouts, and multi-monitor support are the job.
Ultra at $999/mo when concierge scan development, API access, automated trading hooks, and white-glove onboarding are the job (pricing card).
Free $0 delayed when you want to learn the UI without a card — FAQ: full feature set on 30-minute delayed data; Nasdaq-only on Free.
News / filings scanners alongside price / volume / technical scans — FAQ lists SEC filings plus major press-release newswires.

That is a fit for traders who want to filter a US equity universe in real time as a research input. Scanner outputs and vendor prebuilts are not this directory’s recommendations.

Skip if

You need TSX / FTSE / ASX or other international scanning. Official FAQ: US equities only; Canadian traders can use Scanz for US markets, not to scan TSX names.
You need options flow or crypto scanners. FAQ: no options scanning and no direct crypto data (crypto-related equities news / prebuilts only).
You want Scanz to be the broker today. Broker trading integrations are coming soon / roadmap on pricing, FAQ, and homepage Execute marketing — not a verified live custody path on pages we reviewed.
You assumed annual billing savings on the public pricing cards. Capture shows month-to-month Starter / Pro / Ultra only — no annual toggle on that page.
You refuse a card for the real-time trial. Starter / Pro 7-day trials require a credit card and auto-convert unless cancelled; Free delayed needs no card.
Your primary job is Supercharts alone, TA+FA delayed screening with TSX docs, or a Worden EasyScan® desk. Those jobs fit neighbors such as TradingView, ChartMill, and TC2000: this page does not rank them.

How it works

Scanz features surface — how it works (captured 2026-09-23)

Official scanz.com/features — scanning / platform feature framing (captured 2026-09-23).

Open Free delayed or start a Starter / Pro trial from scanz.com / pricing. Free needs no card per FAQ; trials require a card.
Build or pick scanners — Data, Signal, News, and SEC Filing scans; stack filters (FAQ: AND logic; use separate scans for OR).
Monitor with Level 2, charts, prints, watchlists, and alerts as described on product pages — link charts to scans where the product supports it.
Choose a platform: Web at app.scanz.com (Starter / Pro / Free); Desktop Windows / Mac on Pro & Ultra; mobile web (responsive — native iOS / Android apps not currently shipped per FAQ).
Execute elsewhere for now — FAQ: broker integrations on the roadmap / not shipped yet; switch to your broker to place orders. Homepage Execute marketing: coming soon (May 2026 label on the homepage capture — confirm live status before you rely on it).

Scanner-first desk vs chart-first / screener-first neighbors

Scanz’s public center of gravity is a real-time US equity scanner with news / filings. Neighbors like Trade Ideas center a higher paid scanner floor with AI labels, TC2000 centers EasyScan® / options charting, ChartMill centers delayed TA+FA with TSX docs, and Finviz centers free heatmaps then Elite. That is a product-shape contrast, not a ranking.

Watch-outs

Scanz FAQ — watch-outs (captured 2026-09-23)

Official scanz.com/docs/04-faqs — plans, markets, platforms, and broker-integration answers (captured 2026-09-23).

Not a broker today. Integrations coming soon / roadmap — do not subscribe expecting one-click execution without confirming current status.
US equities only. FAQ is explicit: no FTSE / TSX / ASX scanning; Canadian users are framed as trading US markets through Scanz.
Free ≠ real-time. Free is permanent delayed (30 minutes) and Nasdaq-only; real-time is on paid Starter / Pro / Ultra (and their trials).
Starter caps matter. One scan at a time; one saved scan per type; one 20-symbol watchlist — Pro is the unlimited desk for most active day traders per the card matrix.
Trial auto-converts. Card required; cancel inside the app under Manage Subscription if you do not want the paid plan.
No options / crypto scanners on the FAQ product boundary.
Official links only. We don’t have an affiliate link for Scanz, so its buttons go to the official homepage or pricing page.
Ultra / API / automated hooks are premium packaging — confirm what ships in your seat before you treat API or automation as guaranteed.

Scanz is a scanner-first real-time US desk first. Trade Ideas is a paid scanner floor first. TC2000 is a Worden EasyScan® / options desk first. ChartMill is a TA+FA delayed screener first. Finviz is a heatmap / Elite seat first. None of those rows is a recommendation to switch.

Canada note

This directory is written with readers in Canada as well as the United States.

Software from Canada. You can attempt to use scanz.com / app.scanz.com as analysis software from Canada. Official FAQ: UK, Canadian, and Australian traders use Scanz to trade US markets — that works fine.

Canadian listings. Official FAQ: Scanz does not scan or quote international markets. If you need TSX (or FTSE / ASX) scanning, this is not the tool today. Free plan: Nasdaq delayed only. Paid Starter / Pro: NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX, OTC.

Canadian broker compatibility. Named Canadian-broker integrations (Questrade, Wealthsimple, TD Direct Investing, Interactive Brokers Canada) are unverified. Broker trading inside Scanz remains coming soon on public pages. Many people scan in one tab and trade in another — that is two separate products, not a verified integration.

Currency (CAD vs USD), registered-account constraints (TFSA, RRSP), and Canadian tax treatment of trades are outside this review.
