The best AI stock screeners in India in 2026

• Best overall for long-term investors: Valarth. Ask about a theme, a product, a headline or plain numbers; it shows how it read the question, the filters it used, and a reason for every company, quoted from its filings where it can. Free during the beta.
• If you already screen on Trendlyne: its AI Screener Mode turns a sentence into a Trendlyne screener query.
• If you trade on price, volume and open interest: FYERS FIA, inside the FYERS trading platform.
• If you want a free point-and-click screener with an AI desk on top: BullRun, whose Ask AI is on its paid plan.
• If you want to question one company's filings: Screener AI. It answers questions about a company; it does not build screens.

Below: what an AI screener is, why Valarth comes first, what each of the others does with your question, and five checks to run on any of them.

A filter screener asks you to pick ratios and thresholds: a P/E below 20, a return on capital above 15%. That works when you know which numbers you want. An AI stock screener takes the question as you would say it, such as “who makes money when everyone pays by UPI”, decides what it means, and lists the companies that fit.

The products sold under the name do quite different things, which is why a side-by-side matters more than the label:

• Query writers turn your sentence into the same filters you could have picked yourself. Trendlyne's AI Screener Mode works this way.
• Theme finders also search what companies say about their own business, so a question about a product or a government programme finds the companies behind it. Valarth works this way.
• Company assistants answer questions about one company at a time from its filings. Screener AI and Trendlyne's MarketMind AI work this way.
• Trading assistants build scans on price, volume and open interest for traders. FYERS FIA works this way.

None of them is a stock picker. A screen is a list of companies worth reading about, not a list of companies worth buying.

The Valarth AI Screener reads your question into a theme and number filters, and gives a confidence for that reading. It finds companies two ways: by their industry and group, and by searching what listed companies say about their business in annual reports, exchange filings and the segments they report. Then it applies your number filters from the same data as its 215-filter screener.

Every answer shows how the question was read and the filters used. A part of your question that no data column backs ranks the companies instead of excluding any, and the answer says so. Every company comes with a match score and its reasons: the share of revenue from the segment you asked about, or a quote from its filings. A short note says what the companies have in common and the risks of holding them together. You can read real answers without an account: who makes money when everyone pays by UPI, Project 75, debt-free small caps with rising profits.

From any company on the list you can open its 15 red and 15 green forensic checks and a value range from nine valuation models. Every Valarth plan is free while Valarth is in beta; the AI Screener comes with the AI plan, chosen on the pricing page with no payment taken.

Where it is weaker: prices are end of day, and it has no intraday, chart or options screens, which a trader needs; FYERS FIA is built for that. It has no backtesting, which Trendlyne offers, and no mobile app.

Trendlyne added AI Screener Mode in July 2025. You switch on AI Mode when creating a screener, type a request such as a dividend yield above 4%, and it writes the Trendlyne screener query and runs it. It can also adjust an existing query, or take a query copied from another platform and map it to Trendlyne's metrics. Its help pages list screener creation with AI as freemium. MarketMind AI, in beta, is a separate assistant that answers questions about one company from its reports and transcripts, with monthly credits on each paid plan; yearly plans ran from ₹1,890 (GuruQ) to ₹10,000 (Pro Plus) with the discount codes its page showed.

Where Valarth does better: AI Screener Mode turns a sentence into the filters you could have picked yourself. Valarth also finds companies by what they do, from their filings, and gives the reason each one is on the list. Trendlyne alternatives compared.

BullRun says it covers the 5,000 and more companies listed on the NSE and BSE. Its free Smart Screener uses one-click quick filters, such as a return on equity above 20%, and gives each company a quality score out of 100. Ask AI answers questions about listed companies, including screening-style questions such as IT stocks with a high return on capital and no debt. Ask AI is on its Premium plan: ₹999 a quarter or ₹2,499 a year on 5 November 2026.

Where Valarth does better: BullRun's pages do not say whether Ask AI shows the filters it applied. Valarth shows its reading, its filters and a reason for every company, and is free during the beta.

FIA, the FYERS Intelligent Assistant, sits inside the FYERS web platform and app. You type the scan you want and it builds it, using real-time data in market hours: price breakouts, volume spikes, open-interest surges, technical indicators such as RSI and moving-average crossovers, and fundamentals such as P/E and dividend yield. It needs a FYERS login. The standard tier gives five FIA prompts a day; FYERS Prime, ₹499 a month or ₹4,990 a year plus 18% GST, gives unlimited FIA analysis.

Where Valarth does better: FIA is built for trading signals. Valarth is built for a long-term investor's question, what a company does and whether its accounts hold up, and does not need a broking account.

Screener AI is opened from a company page and answers questions from that company's annual reports and earnings calls, which it uploads for you. Since 26 October 2026 you can save a prompt and reuse it on any company. It is paid per answer from credits; its own page put a typical answer at ₹10 to ₹30. The ₹4,999 yearly Premium plan, GST included, comes with ₹500 of credits. Screening itself is the query box: you write a condition such as a return on capital above 20%.

Where Valarth does better: Valarth builds the screen from your question, then lets you open any company's forensic checks and valuation. Screener.in alternatives compared.

• StockEdge: Stock AI gives a view on one stock for a chosen horizon, from its technical and financial data; it is not a screener. It is on the Club plan, ₹11,994 a year with the coupon its page showed.
• Tickertape: its screener works by picking filters. Its AI link is Tickertape MCP, a free connector to outside AI assistants, whose screener covers United States stocks. Pro was ₹399 a month or ₹2,999 a year. Tickertape alternatives compared.
• Share India: an AI screener that takes plain English, free for Share India's own broking clients.

Pick three questions you can judge: one theme you know well (an industry you work in), one set of plain numbers (debt-free small caps with rising profits), and one vague one (good companies at a fair price). Then check each answer:

1. Does it show how it read you? If you cannot see the filters it chose, you cannot tell a good list from a lucky one.
2. Does it say why each company is there? A reason you can check, such as a share of revenue or a line from a filing, beats a score.
3. Does it admit what it could not filter? A screener that silently drops part of your question gives a confident wrong list.
4. Does it find the company you know should be there? On your own theme, a missing leader or a stranger at the top tells you a lot.
5. How old is the data? End-of-day prices are fine for investing and useless for intraday trading.

Every screener here, ours included, finds companies that match a question. None knows your goals, and none can promise a return. A language model can misread a question or miss a business line too new to appear in filings. Use the list as the start of your reading: open each company, check whether its accounts hold up and what it is worth, and read its annual report.
