Comparison
TickerWorth vs GuruFocus
A deep, institution-priced value-investing terminal built around guru portfolio tracking, 30 years of financial history and its GF Value metric.
Side by side
| Measure | TickerWorth | GuruFocus |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $99 / year or $14.99 / month |
|
| Trial | 7 days of Pro, card required to start. The charge date and amount ($14.99 a month) are shown before you enter the card, and cancelling before then costs nothing — and we email you before the first charge. | 7-day free trial, available once every 24 months, card taken up front |
| Refunds | 30 days | None. Their page: once billed, subscriptions are final and non-refundable, with no prorated refund for cancelling mid-term |
| Coverage | Every company on our coverage list | Global, with 30 years of financial history |
| Method | We first decide what kind of business it is and name the model that suits it, then run every model we can — a discounted cash flow, residual income on book value, a dividend discount and peer multiples — and blend them with published weights that favour the suitable one. Every assumption is printed with its source — the base year cites the SEC filing accession number it was read from, house assumptions are labelled as ours rather than as market data — and Pro lets you edit the model, discount rate included, and re-run the engine. Banks and insurers get no DCF; they are valued with a bank model — justified price-to-book, from the return on equity against the cost of equity. Rate-regulated utilities get no DCF fair value: their page shows book value, earnings and dividend yield instead. REITs get no fair value and no call: their multiples, book value and yield are shown as context. | GF Value — a proprietary figure built from historical trading multiples, past returns and estimated future performance. It is a published number rather than a model you open: the formula is described, the workings are not editable. |

Where GuruFocus is better than us
- Depth we do not approach: 30 years of financials, guru and insider portfolio tracking, dozens of prebuilt screeners, an Excel add-in and a data API.
- They publish their headline fair value free and logged-out, exactly as we do — of this cohort, they and we are the two that do not paywall the number itself.
- An established brand with institutional users.
Where we differ
- Price. Their entry tier is $549 a year; ours is $99 / year. They are not really competing for the same buyer, and if you need guru tracking or an API you should pay them.
- Refunds. They state that a subscription is final once billed. We refund for 30 days, no questions asked.
- GF Value is a formula you read. Our fair value is a model you can open — every assumption and its source on the page — and Pro lets you edit it and re-run it at your own cost of capital.
