- Founded 2026, solo operator per LinkedIn; limited track record
- Android only; no iPhone app yet, and the Android app is not listed in the EU
- Intake and site figures differ (10,000+ vs 8,200+ assets); we use the live site
When HalalScreener is still the right choice

- Graded verdicts (A+ to F) plus a 'Doubtful' zone within 83% of any threshold, which is more informative than pass/fail
- Lowest paid price among the major screeners ($9.99/mo, $79/yr), 7-day trial, 30-day money-back guarantee, price locked for existing subscribers
- Stocks, ETFs, and crypto in one tool; Chrome, Telegram, Android, MCP, and even Tesla delivery
- AI Scholar cites sources and shows Sunni and Shia positions side by side
- Detailed, specific privacy policy naming every processor and what each surface reads
Our verdict on HalalScreener: If you want to see exactly why a stock passes or fails AAOIFI and pay the least to do it, HalalScreener is the best tool on the market right now. Know that no scholar signs the verdicts, coverage is US-centric, and the company is new and small. Use the free tier to test a few tickers, then decide whether $9.99 a month for full ratios and purification math is worth it to you; for many self-directed investors it will be.

How to use this comparison: Scholars rule; we organize the evidence. HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not issue fatwas or provide financial, legal, or tax advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal. Where our role ends and who takes over.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
