What is the difference between Guardfolio and Snowball Analytics?
Snowball Analytics tracks dividend income, payout calendars, and cash-flow projections. Guardfolio monitors portfolio risk — concentration, allocation drift, ETF overlap, drawdown, and volatility — with automated alerts. They target different workflows.
Does Snowball Analytics have portfolio risk alerts?
No. Snowball focuses on dividend tracking, not threshold-based alerts for drift, concentration, overlap, drawdown, or volatility. Guardfolio is built for that.
What is the best alternative to Snowball Analytics for risk monitoring?
Guardfolio is designed for live risk monitoring: ETF look-through overlap, concentration limits, allocation drift, and drawdown alerts across multiple brokerages — via email or Telegram.
Can I use both Guardfolio and Snowball Analytics?
Snowball is useful for dividend income. If you also hold ETFs, growth stocks, or multiple accounts, you still need a risk layer. They solve different problems — and that is exactly why Snowball users often add Guardfolio for structural risk monitoring.
Is Guardfolio free?
Guardfolio offers a 7-day free trial for live risk monitoring. A manual no-signup risk check is also available, but ongoing alerts require a paid plan.
