Limits and Constraints

Hard system ceilings in ScreenerHub — criteria per screener, stocks per watchlist, Browser result cap, and the Pro platform ceiling — regardless of plan.

3 min read

This page lists hard technical limits that ScreenerHub enforces regardless of your plan. Most of these ceilings apply equally to Free and Pro accounts — they are not raised by upgrading. For per-plan quotas such as the number of saved screeners or watchlists, see Plans and Quotas.

Screener limits

The following limits apply to every saved screener, including screeners created in Studio.

PropertyLimit
Criteria per screener60
Name length120 characters
Description length600 characters
Tags12 tags, 40 characters each

The 60-criteria ceiling is enforced at save time. Studio lets you add criteria freely during a session, but the save action rejects any screener with more than 60 active criteria. If your thesis requires broader coverage, split it into two screeners and run them separately — you can save up to 100 screeners on Pro. For guidance on building multi-criterion strategies, see How to Screen for Value Stocks.

Watchlist limits

PropertyLimit
Stocks per watchlist20 (Free) · 100 (Pro)
Name length200 characters
Tags10 tags, 50 characters each

The 100-stock cap per watchlist is a hard platform ceiling that applies even on Pro. If you need to track more than 100 symbols under one theme, create a second watchlist and combine them in the Monitoring Lab using separate monitoring sets.

Stock Browser result cap

The Stock Browser shows a capped subset of the full stock universe. The cap depends on your session state.

Session stateVisible results
Not signed in10
Free plan30
Pro plan800 (platform ceiling)

The 800-result ceiling is a platform-wide cap that applies to all Pro accounts. Results are ordered by market capitalization by default. Use screener criteria in Studio to narrow the universe before relying on result order — a tightly filtered screener is more reliable than scrolling a broad result list. To learn how to use criteria effectively, see Stock Screening for Beginners.

Financial history depth

The amount of historical data available for financial statements and dividends depends on your plan and is capped even on Pro.

Data typeFreePro
Annual financial statements5 periods30 periods
Quarterly financial statements5 periods20 periods
Dividend history5 yearsUnlimited

These limits reflect how far back the platform stores per-company data. Requesting periods beyond the cap returns the maximum available rather than an error.

Platform ceilings

The following totals apply to Pro accounts and represent the maximum the platform supports for any single account. Free accounts have lower per-plan quotas — see Plans and Quotas.

ResourcePro platform ceiling
Saved screeners100

Stocks per watchlist100

Reaching a platform ceiling generates the same notification as hitting a plan quota. Delete unused resources to free up capacity before creating new ones.

What this page is not

This page covers hard system ceilings, not plan-level quotas. The number of screeners, watchlists, and monitoring sets included in each plan tier — and what those tiers cost — is documented in Plans and Quotas and Billing. For help interpreting error messages related to limits, see Troubleshooting.
