Most Indian retail investors spend ₹0 to ₹700 a month on research tools. A free screener plus a free AI chatbot costs nothing but leaves the reading to you. On annual plans, paid tools work out to roughly ₹135–₹700 a month: Arthneeti ₹2,699 a year (about ₹7.4 a day), Concall.in ₹2,999, Tijori ₹3,500, Screener.in ₹4,999, Sharpely ₹5,799 and Multibagg AI ₹8,299.
Prices below come from each tool's own pricing page in October 2026, as listed on that day; many run frequent discounts. The per-month column divides the annual plan by 12, because that is how most people end up paying.

Frequently asked questions
Is a free screener plus ChatGPT good enough?
