What is Simply Wall St?

Simply Wall St is a research platform known for its colourful “snowflake” infographics, fair-value estimates and broad global coverage. It’s a friendly way to eyeball a company, but its valuation runs on a fixed model you can’t open up and drive yourself. Its free plan stops at five company reports a month, and the fair value it shows is the same single figure on every plan — what paying changes is how many companies you can look at, not how the number is reached.

Where Simply Wall St shines

Beautiful, beginner-friendly visual reports on thousands of global stocks.

A fair-value estimate and analyst comparison on every company, at a glance.

Coverage of more than ninety markets, so a portfolio spread across exchanges sits in one place.

Why choose Lemma Analysis

A valuation you actually control

Instead of a fixed snowflake, you drive the assumptions: edit the growth rate, the margins and the discount rate, and see fair value and a bear/base/bull spread move as you type.

Four answers, not one

Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, drawn on one axis against today’s price. Where they disagree is the argument about the company — and there is deliberately no blend to average it away. Free for 3 companies a day with no account, unlimited on Ultimate.

A place to hold your reasoning

Write the thesis for every position and give it a review date. Simply Wall St shows you a chart; Lemma Analysis keeps you honest about why you bought.

When to stay on Simply Wall St

You own stocks outside the US

Simply Wall St covers more than ninety markets; Lemma Analysis covers companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE and nothing else. If much of your portfolio trades in London, Frankfurt or Tokyo, it reaches what we cannot.

You want the picture, not the model

If a visual verdict at a glance is what you use it for, the snowflake does that well and we do not try to imitate it. Lemma Analysis asks you to read and change the assumptions, which is more work by design.

Five reports a month is enough

If you look at a handful of companies a month and want a verdict rather than a model, Simply Wall St’s free plan may be all you need. Ours values 3 companies a day with the four models, which is a model to argue with rather than a verdict to accept.

How to switch

01

Create a free account

Sign up in a moment — no credit card. Seven days of Ultimate come with it; the portfolio, the watchlists and the Quality Score stay free afterwards.

02

Value a stock your way

Open any ticker’s Intrinsic Value tab: Advanced DCF, Ben Graham, Simple DCF and the Dividend Discount Model, drawn on one axis against today’s price, with every assumption editable and a bear/base/bull case behind each.

03

Screen and build a watchlist

Screen for candidates, then track them on a watchlist with a margin-of-safety target so each name carries an undervalued / fair / rich signal.

04

Write the thesis and review it

Record why you own each position and give it a review date. Reaffirm or exit when the date comes due — a habit the other tools don’t give you.

FAQ

Is there a free Simply Wall St alternative?

Lemma Analysis is free to start with no credit card — portfolio tracking, watchlists, a five-pillar quality score and a thesis journal. The four intrinsic-value models open on it for 3 companies a day, signed out too; the screener and valuing without a limit are Ultimate, and every new account gets seven days of it.

What does Lemma Analysis do that Simply Wall St doesn’t?

The biggest difference is valuation: instead of one fixed snowflake model, four models run side by side on the same company, you set every assumption, and each carries a bear/base/bull case. You also get a thesis journal to record and review why you hold each position.

Is Simply Wall St good for beginners?

Its visual reports are genuinely beginner-friendly, and we say so. Lemma Analysis is for the investor who wants to move past the infographic and drive the numbers themselves.

Can I value any stock myself?

Yes — open any ticker’s Intrinsic Value tab and every assumption behind the four models is yours to change, starting from the company’s own filings. Intrinsic Value is free for 3 companies a day with no account needed, and unlimited on Ultimate, which every new account gets for seven days without a card.

Can I bring my Simply Wall St portfolio across?

There is no direct import from Simply Wall St. Watchlists are quick to rebuild by ticker, and a portfolio comes across as transactions — typed in on the free plan, which holds 1 portfolio of up to 10 positions, or on Ultimate imported from your broker’s CSV export or synced from Trading 212 or Interactive Brokers. Start with the positions you know least well; that is where a written thesis earns its keep.
