Turbobulls vs Yahoo Finance
These are not really competitors. Yahoo Finance is a news and market-data portal that also tracks portfolios; Turbobulls only tracks portfolios. Plenty of people use both, and this page is honest about when you should.
14 days of everything · Then a permanent free plan · Nothing deleted, export always included
Turbobulls if you want cost basis, dividend history, multi-currency done properly and your spending beside it, all encrypted and ad-free.
Yahoo Finance for market news, analyst commentary, quotes and research. It is free, and nothing here does that job.
Investments, cash flow and net worth on one screen. Demo data.
Do you even need a tracker?
Three questions. We will tell you when the answer is to stay on Yahoo.
Answer the three questions and a recommendation appears here.
Side by side
Based on each platform’s public product description as of April 2026, with Yahoo’s subscription pricing re-checked in August 2026. The Turbobulls column describes Turbo Pro, the plan that covers both the investing and the spending side; the free plan is capped and keeps a working slice of each paid section.
Yahoo Finance may have changed since this was compiled. Yahoo’s own pages are the authoritative source.
What a tracker adds
Four views from the app, on demo data. The demo is read-only and needs no signup.
What you actually earned
A price chart tells you where a ticker is. Money-weighted return tells you what your wallet earned given when you bought; time-weighted return tells you how the strategy did regardless of your timing. Without both you cannot separate a poor strategy from poor timing. Both are on every plan.
Your portfolio against the index
Portfolio-level performance against any ETF, stock or basket you add as a benchmark, not just a chart per ticker. One benchmark on free, no limit on Investing Pro or Turbo Pro, with activity markers showing which trades moved the line.
One number, in the currency you think in
30+ currencies with the FX rate applied on each transaction date rather than today’s rate, and on Investing Pro or Turbo Pro every gain split into the part from the asset and the part from the exchange rate. If you hold across currencies, that split is the difference between knowing and guessing.
Spending sits next to the portfolio
Income, expenses, savings rate and real cash flow, in the same encrypted account as your holdings, with envelope budgeting on Spending Pro or Turbo Pro. Yahoo Finance is an investing product and does not offer personal expense tracking.
The long version
Everything behind the table, one topic at a time.
A news portal that tracks portfolios, and a portfolio tracker
Yahoo Finance is a widely used financial news and market-data product. It also does real portfolio tracking: you can record transactions and share lots, and it shows cost basis and gain or loss. Anyone telling you it is only a watchlist is overselling the gap.
So the honest comparison is not tracker versus no tracker. It is about how the product is funded and who can read your data, how well it handles several brokers and several currencies, and whether your spending sits in the same place as your investments.
It is also worth saying plainly: Turbobulls has no market news, no analyst commentary and no earnings calendar, and none of that is planned. If you read Yahoo Finance every morning, nothing here replaces it. Many people run both, and that is a perfectly sensible answer to this page.
Where each one is weaker
These are two different products. The points below reflect what each is positioned to do, not a defect in either.
- No market news, analyst commentary or earnings calendar
- No stock research or screening tools
- No automatic broker connections
- Costs money once the trial ends, if you want the caps lifted
- The free plan is genuinely capped: 10 holdings, 3 accounts, 2 brokers
- Consumer product is advertising-supported
- No end-to-end encryption; a hosted model
- No personal expense or bank-account tracking
- Broker statement import is not documented
From the April 2026 review; only the subscription pricing was re-checked in August 2026. Yahoo’s own pages are the authority.
What it costs
Yahoo Finance has a free tier that is genuinely free, and paid tiers above it. This is the section where we are the expensive option for anyone who only wants the free thing. If it is only the investing side you want, that is a plan of its own rather than part of a bigger one.
Or €4.79 a month billed monthly. Annual billing is two months free. Cancel anytime. Under it sits a permanent free plan, no card and no time limit, and above it Turbo Pro at €6.66/mo opens both the investing and the spending side.
- Opens the investing side on its own: unlimited holdings, trades, brokers, benchmarks and watchlist, the whole dividend calendar, the advanced metrics and the allocation breakdowns. The spending side stays exactly at free-plan depth, never less.
- Turbo Pro at €6.66 a month billed yearly lifts every cap and opens every section on both sides
- Spending Pro does the same the other way round, at €2.99 a month billed yearly
- Ad-free and encrypted on every plan, free included
- Card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay via Stripe
No time limit, no card, nothing deleted. Capped at 1 workspace, 3 accounts, 10 holdings, 2 brokers, 50 portfolio and 120 wallet transactions, 10 tags, 10 categories, 1 benchmark and 10 watchlist entries, with a working slice of each paid section.
No card, and nothing to cancel if you stay on free.
The consumer product is advertising-supported. As checked in August 2026, paid tiers were Bronze at USD 7.95, Silver at 19.95 and Gold at 39.95 a month, all billed yearly.
- A free tier that covers news, quotes and portfolios
- Yearly billing advertised at 20% off
- Gold listed with a 7-day free trial
- Prices are set by Yahoo and can change
