Frequently asked questions

What can I use for free?

Every Archive year through 2021 is open without an account, including ranking windows, metrics, filters, pagination, company research, and historical Tenure.

What does Membership add?

Membership continues the same research through recent years and today. Compare companies using the newest available rankings, review current Score Views and Tenure, and keep a research shortlist in Portfolio without rebuilding the work in spreadsheets.

Are historical rankings exactly what investors would have seen at the time?

Not exactly. Later fiscal years are excluded, but historical figures come from the data provider’s current dataset and may include later restatements or reclassifications.

Read the methodology and data limitations
Does a high HDB Score mean I should buy a stock?

No. HDB Score summarizes parts of a company’s historical fundamental record. It does not evaluate valuation, predict future returns, or issue buy and sell recommendations.

What does the founding price include?

Founding members pay $99/year instead of $149, locked in while the subscription stays active. The offer ends September 30, 2026. Cancel anytime, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is there a monthly plan?

Yes. The monthly plan is $19/month and can be canceled anytime. The annual plan currently saves about 57% compared with twelve monthly payments.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel at any time. If you cancel within 30 days, your payment is refundable.
