The short version: GuruFocus is a value-investing institution: 30 years of financials, guru 13F tracking, and every Graham-and-Buffett-flavored metric ever devised, priced accordingly (Premium $424/yr, Plus $1,273/yr, Pro $2,323/yr).
Stock Rover delivers the working value-investor toolkit (deep history, Graham and Lynch fair values, guru model portfolios, quality and moat metrics) inside a faster interface with brokerage-synced portfolio reporting, topping out at $948/yr (Ultimate, billed annually).
The one-line difference: GuruFocus is a data archive you mine. Stock Rover is a workflow you run.

| Free trial | 14 days, no credit card | 7-day trial |
| Financial history | up to 20 years | Up to 30 years |
| Guru portfolio tracking (13F) | Investor Library model portfolios | Core strength, though 13Fs are ~45 days stale by law |
| Graham / Lynch fair values | ✓ built-in metrics | ✓ extensive |
| Screening | 800+ metrics, equations, percentiles, historical | All-in-one screener, deep but complex |
| Usability | Modern, fast | Reviewers routinely cite a steep, cluttered interface |
| Brokerage sync | ✓ every tier | Limited |
| Portfolio performance report | ✓ IRR, TWR, risk, income, fees | ✗ |

GuruFocus’s useful depth starts at Premium ($424/yr) and its full US+global feature set climbs through Plus ($1,273/yr). Stock Rover’s top retail tier, Ultimate, with the complete metric library, fund research and Investor Warnings, is $948/yr on annual billing. For most individual value investors the practical capability overlap is large and the price gap is not.
Screen with equations and percentiles, research with up to 20 years of statements and scores, then track the result across linked brokerage accounts with the Portfolio Performance Report. GuruFocus ends before the portfolio does.
13F filings arrive up to 45 days after quarter-end; by the time a guru position is public, the entry price is history. Stock Rover’s Investor Library carries guru-modeled portfolios (Buffett, Tweedy Browne, Katz and others) as living, screenable portfolios you can benchmark and adapt rather than mimic.
Power without archaeology: views, saved screeners, alerts and charts are one click apart. GuruFocus’s own reviewers, including many fans, describe its interface as hard to navigate; depth shouldn’t cost you your morning.
The finish line GuruFocus doesn’t reach: your accounts, reported with IRR, risk, income and fees.
Thirty years of financials on huge global coverage; for deep-cycle analysis of a 1990s-era compounder, GuruFocus has data Stock Rover doesn’t. The guru ecosystem (13F histories, insider overlays, guru commentary) is the deepest anywhere. Proprietary value metrics (GF Value, GF Score) have a real following with published methodology.
Dedicated value researchers who mine multi-decade financials and guru filings professionally, and who’ll pay four figures for the archive.
Value-minded individual investors who want 90% of the working toolkit for less at comparable tiers ($948/yr Ultimate vs $1,273/yr GuruFocus Plus), plus the portfolio layer GuruFocus lacks. Premium Plus ($49/mo) covers the metric depth; Ultimate ($79/mo) adds funds and warnings.
For most individual value investors, yes: Graham/Lynch valuations, quality metrics, guru model portfolios and equation screening at $348–$948/yr, plus portfolio reporting GuruFocus doesn’t offer. Professionals mining 30-year global archives should stay with GuruFocus.
Funds disclose holdings up to 45 days after quarter-end, so “what Buffett just bought” is often two months old and price-moved. Model portfolios you can screen and adapt are more actionable than filings you can only follow.
GuruFocus, with up to 30 years of financials. Stock Rover carries up to 20 years of fundamentals plus 30 years of dividend history, which covers most practical valuation work.
