Deepvue and TC2000 look like the same product until you price them properly. Both are subscription screeners built around US equities, both land near $49/month, and both are aimed at traders who want to find candidates rather than read commentary. The difference is philosophical: Deepvue ships opinionated growth-stock ratings as its core product, while TC2000 ships a fast, general-purpose scanning engine and expects you to bring the opinion. Below is where each one genuinely wins.

That is exactly why the sections below say plainly where Deepvue is the better buy — a comparison that always lands the same way is worth nothing to you and nothing to us.
The short answer
Pick Deepvue if you screen for growth and momentum on CANSLIM-style relative-strength and earnings ratings, and you want those ratings calculated for you rather than rebuilt from formulas. Pick TC2000 if you want a charting-first platform with a scanner you control down to the formula, options support, integrated trading, or the cheapest capable tier in this category.
The pricing sits close enough that cost alone rarely decides it — but only if you compare like for like, which most comparisons of these two do not.
Pricing: closer than the headline, further apart than it looks
| Deepvue | TC2000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $49/mo (one flat plan) | $24.99/mo (Basic) |
| The tier most people want | $49/mo | $49.99/mo (Premium) |
| Annual billing | $41/mo | from $18.74/mo on the longest cycle |
| Tiers | One — no feature gating | Three (Basic / Premium / Premium Plus) |
| Real-time US stocks | Included | Included on every plan |
| Real-time US indexes | Included | +$9.99/mo |
| US options data | Not offered | +$9.99/mo |
| Free trial | 30 days, full features | Yes, and no credit card required |
| Permanently free tier | No | No |
Deepvue runs a single flat plan: $49/month, or $41/month billed annually, with no feature restrictions and no data add-ons. Everything — the screener, the charts, the AI terminal, all the preset screens, real-time US stock and index data — is in the one price.
TC2000 tiers it. Basic at $24.99 is charting and watchlists with no real-time scanning; the EasyScan engine everyone actually comes for starts at Premium ($49.99). Real-time US stock data is included at every tier, but index data and options data are $9.99 each and the consolidated tape is $14.99.
So the honest comparison depends entirely on what you need:
- Stocks only, no index data: TC2000 Premium $49.99 vs Deepvue $49. A wash, and TC2000 gets cheaper on annual or biennial billing.
- You want live index data: TC2000 becomes $59.98 against Deepvue's $49. Deepvue wins.
- You chart more than you scan: TC2000 Basic at $24.99 has no equivalent on Deepvue's side at all.
- You are a student: TC2000's .edu academic discount takes $24.99/month off any plan — Premium drops to $25 — and Deepvue has nothing comparable. Not close.
Ratings vs formulas: the actual difference
This is the split that should decide it, and it is not about price.
Deepvue calculates relative strength, EPS and composite ratings in the CANSLIM tradition and puts them in front of you as first-class columns you can screen and sort on. If your process is Minervini- or O'Neil-shaped — leaders by relative strength, earnings acceleration, base structure — that is your vocabulary already, and having it precomputed removes a whole layer of work. There are 150+ preset screens and a drag-and-drop filter builder over roughly 1,150 data points.
TC2000 has no equivalent house ratings. What it has is EasyScan plus Personal Criteria Formulas — a scan builder that will express almost anything you can define, including relative-strength measures you write yourself. It is more work up front and more control afterwards. Our EasyScan setups guide and the Qullamaggie scan settings walk through building exactly this kind of momentum screen from scratch.
The trade is legible: Deepvue gives you a good answer immediately in one methodology. TC2000 gives you a blank formula editor and no opinion at all.
Where TC2000 clearly wins
Options. Deepvue does not do them. TC2000 charts options, screens them, and sells a $9.99 real-time options feed. If options are part of your trading, this comparison is already over.
Integrated trading. TC2000 has a brokerage attached, so you can scan, chart and place the order in one window — and it advertises up to $300/year in commission discounts for routing through it, which is a real offset against the subscription for active traders.
The cheap tier. $24.99 for real-time US stock data and full charting has no counterpart at Deepvue, which has one price or nothing.
Canada. TC2000's included watchlists cover the TSX. Deepvue is US equities only, with international coverage listed as roadmap rather than shipping.
Maturity. TC2000 has been refined over decades and it shows in the charting: drawing tools, layouts, multi-monitor support. Read our full TC2000 review for the detail.
Where Deepvue clearly wins
No add-on arithmetic. One price, everything in it. If you have ever been annoyed by discovering the data you assumed was included is $9.99/month, this is the pitch.
Ratings out of the box. Relative strength and earnings quality as native, sortable columns rather than formulas you maintain.
It is web-native. Deepvue runs in the browser everywhere, equally. TC2000's native application is Windows only — Mac users get the full platform streamed into a browser, which works well but is a streamed session, and the iPhone app is still listed as coming soon.
The trial is longer. 30 days with everything unlocked, against a shorter TC2000 trial whose length varies (though TC2000's needs no credit card, which Deepvue's sign-up does).
Which should you pick?
Choose Deepvue if you run a growth or momentum process in the CANSLIM idiom, you want ratings computed rather than built, you are on a Mac, and you would rather pay one flat price than assemble a bill.
Choose TC2000 if you trade options, want to place orders where you scan, want to define your own criteria precisely, need TSX coverage, are a student, or want to start at $24.99 rather than $49. Compare the current plans if that is you.
Choose a free tier first, if neither price is comfortable yet — Finviz has one and neither of these does. TC2000 vs Finviz covers that route.
Choose neither, for now, if what you actually want is to know whether your screening rules work. Both of these products find candidates; neither tells you whether the pattern you are screening for has historically paid. That is a different tool, and ours is free — the strategy backtester runs a rule against real prices with fees on, and the five kinds of analysis tool explains why screening and backtesting are not substitutes for each other.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deepvue cheaper than TC2000?
It depends what you need. Deepvue is $49/month flat ($41 annually). TC2000 Premium is $49.99 but starts at $24.99 for Basic, and adds $9.99 for real-time index data that Deepvue includes. Stocks-only, TC2000 is marginally cheaper; with index data, Deepvue is.
Does Deepvue have options screening?
No. Deepvue covers US equities, with crypto, forex, futures and international markets on its roadmap rather than live. TC2000 supports options charting and screening with an optional $9.99/month real-time options feed.
Which is better for momentum and swing trading?
Both work. Deepvue is faster to start because relative-strength and earnings ratings are built in; TC2000 is more flexible because you write the criteria yourself. If you want to build a Qullamaggie-style momentum scan by hand, our TC2000 scan settings guide shows it done.
Does TC2000 work on a Mac like Deepvue does?
Not natively. Deepvue is browser-based everywhere. TC2000's real application is Windows; Mac users run it streamed through a browser, which carries the same features but is not a local app.
Can I try both before paying?
Yes. Deepvue offers a 30-day trial with the full feature set. TC2000's trial length varies but does not require a credit card, and Worden publishes a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid subscriptions.
Bottom line
These are not really competitors so much as two answers to different questions. Deepvue sells you a methodology with the arithmetic already done — excellent if that methodology is yours. TC2000 sells you a fast, deep, cheap-to-enter scanning and charting platform with options and a broker attached, and no opinion whatsoever about what you should look for.
If your process is already CANSLIM-shaped, Deepvue removes work. For most other people — and certainly for anyone trading options, anyone on a budget, any student, and anyone who wants to control the criteria exactly — TC2000 is the more versatile buy. Whichever you pick, test the rules before you trade them.
