Ignyq™ vs Stock Rover

Stock Rover is an excellent research platform you rent in a browser. Ignyq™ is an analysis and planning app you own on your desktop. Here is the honest comparison, including where Stock Rover wins.

The short answer

Screening breadth versus owning your tools.

Stock Rover's screener and fundamental database are genuinely first-rate. If your day is spent screening thousands of tickers across hundreds of metrics with deep historical data, Stock Rover earns its price.

Ignyq™ is for the investor who has already chosen what to own, and needs to analyze it properly and plan a retirement around it — without a browser tab, without a recurring bill, and without the data leaving the machine.

Credit where it is due

Be honest about this before you switch.

A deeper screening engine across a very large equity and fund universe, with more historical fundamental data than Ignyq™ ships with.
Brokerage account connection for automatic portfolio sync.
Built-in research reports, ratings, and analyst data as part of the subscription.
Access from any browser on any machine, including ones you do not own.

If screening depth is the core of how you invest, Stock Rover is probably the right tool and we would rather you kept it.

The real differences

Four things that change the calculus.

1. It is yours

Stock Rover is subscription-only: Premium $348/year, Premium Plus $588/year, Ultimate $948/year, Ultimate Pro $1,788/year. Stop paying and the tool is gone, along with your access to the work you did in it.

Ignyq™'s Wealth lifetime license is $549 once. That is roughly nineteen months of Stock Rover Premium, and then it is over.

2. Retirement and financial planning, which Stock Rover does not do

This is the biggest functional gap and it runs in Ignyq™'s favor. Stock Rover analyzes securities. Ignyq™ analyzes securities and then plans your life around them. The six core retirement tools — Retirement Planner, FIRE, Roth Conversion, Social Security Optimizer, Withdrawal Planner, Debt Payoff — come with the Wealth tier ($229/yr or $549 once), together with the complete 38+ planning suite. If you are within fifteen years of retiring, that gap matters more than screener breadth.

3. A desktop app, not a browser tab

Ignyq™ is a native application for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows 11, and Linux. Your portfolio file is encrypted on your own disk. The planning suite works with the network off, on a plane, in a cabin, during an outage. Nothing is rendered by somebody else's server.

4. AI research through your own key

Six providers — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Muse Spark (Meta) — connected with your own API key: the AI Financial Planner at Wealth, the full stock-and-market AI at Elite. You pay the provider directly at cost, Ignyq™ takes no cut and proxies nothing through its own servers, and your prompts do not pass through us.

What it costs to keep using it

Five years of each

Stock Rover Premium at $348/year is about $1,740 over five years, and about $3,480 over ten. Premium Plus doubles that.

Ignyq™ Wealth as a lifetime license is $549, once, at any horizon. Over ten years that is roughly a sixth of what Premium costs, and you still have the software at the end.

The fair caveat: Stock Rover's subscription includes continuously updated research data that a perpetual license cannot promise forever. You are trading some data freshness for ownership. Decide which you actually value.

Common questions

Can I import my Stock Rover portfolio?

Yes — export to CSV from Stock Rover and import it into Ignyq™.

Does Ignyq™ connect to my brokerage?

Not through the cloud — by design. You import holdings from a broker CSV or an OFX/QFX file, or enter them (optional account import is an Elite feature) — all locally. Nothing of yours is stored on our servers, because there is nothing to store.

Is the screener as good as Stock Rover's?

No. Stock Rover's screener is deeper. Ignyq™'s advantage is analysis depth per position plus a full planning suite, not universe-wide screening breadth.

Can I use both?

Yes, and for a heavy screener that is a reasonable setup — screen in Stock Rover, analyze and plan in Ignyq™.

What if my internet is down?

The entire planning suite works offline. Live quotes obviously do not.
