Webull Scanner Alternative: A Free Scanner for Small Accounts (2026)

Webull's built-in screener is one of the better broker-provided tools — it has basic filters, some preset scans, and a decent charting UI. But if you trade small-cap momentum with a small account, it's missing three things: a real relative-volume filter, a price ceiling preset that keeps results affordable, and any automation to run the same scan for you every morning. That's the gap Momentum Scan fills.

What the Webull scanner does well

• Solid basic filters: price, market cap, volume, % change, exchange.
• Free with a Webull account, integrated with the trading UI.
• Decent preset scans (top gainers, unusual volume, 52-week highs).

Where Webull's scanner falls short

• No true relative volume (RVOL). You can see raw volume vs. average, but not a normalized RVOL multiple you can filter on ("show me only stocks trading at 5× normal volume").
• No small-account price preset. You have to set price bands manually every session.
• No automatic morning scan. You open the app, remember your filters, and rerun them by hand each day.
• No catalyst context. Webull tells you a stock is up 30% but not why — you have to hunt for news elsewhere.

How to pair Momentum Scan with Webull

1. Open Momentum Scan in your browser. Set your max share price to what your Webull account can size into.
2. Sort the results by relative volume — anything above 5× RVOL is unusual activity.
3. Pick 2–3 tickers with a real catalyst on the card.
4. Open those tickers in Webull, set your alerts and stop, and execute the trade there.
