Free halal stock screening apps in 2026 (5 picks for beginners)

If you're just starting out and want to screen stocks without paying for a Premium plan, there are five apps in 2026 that offer genuinely free Shariah-screening functionality. None of them are perfect on the free tier — you typically get a ticker-by-ticker check with limited history, no portfolio purification, and no API access — but they're enough to begin.

1. Zoya (free tier)

Zoya's free tier covers ticker search, the halal verdict, and a limited watchlist. Premium adds portfolio purification and unlimited watchlists.

2. Musaffa (free tier)

Free access to single-ticker halal status. Portfolio analyser and detailed financials are behind the paid plan.

3. Islamicly (free tier)

Free single-ticker status lookups. Country breadth is one of the wider free options if you're screening tickers outside the US.

4. Akinda free tier (web + API)

The consumer Akinda platform at akinda.io offers free Shariah status lookups, and the API has a free Basic tier that gives 250 calls per day against the /compliance endpoint — enough for personal-portfolio screening.

5. Selected brokers

A handful of brokers — Wahed, ShariaPortfolio, and some regional Islamic banks' investment platforms — offer free halal screens to their account holders. Useful if you're already a customer; not a standalone screener.

When to upgrade off free tiers

• You're holding more than ~10 positions — portfolio purification needs the paid tier on most apps.
• You want methodology auditability — paid tiers typically expose the underlying financial ratios; free tiers usually show only the final verdict.
• You're building a product — at that point a free consumer app is the wrong tool. See Free halal stock screening API instead.
