Screening Methodology
HalalScreener
AAOIFI Standard No. 21
Uses the globally recognized AAOIFI standard, the gold standard for Shariah-compliant investing. Both qualitative (business activity) and quantitative (financial ratio) screens are applied with transparent thresholds.
Zoya
AAOIFI + Custom Enhancements
Zoya uses AAOIFI standards as a base with their own custom enhancements. On the free tier they show only a pass or fail status, with the actual ratio breakdowns locked behind Zoya Pro. HalalScreener shows the debt ratio and compliance grade on the free tier so you can see the reasoning, not just the verdict.
HalalScreener Advantages
- Costs less: $9.99/mo vs Zoya's $14.99/mo, the only paid tier Zoya offers
- Ratio details on the free tier: see the debt ratio and grade, not just a pass or fail status
- AI-powered compliance explanations that tell you WHY a stock passes or fails
- Crypto screening included (Zoya does not screen cryptocurrencies at all)
- Telegram bot and Chrome extension for screening anywhere you browse
- Full Arabic language support for MENA investors
- 7-day free trial, no card gimmicks, cancel anytime
Zoya Strengths
- Native mobile app (iOS and Android)
- In-app trading and brokerage sync via Plaid and SnapTrade
- Established brand with a larger user community and named scholars
The Verdict
HalalScreener costs less ($9.99/mo vs Zoya's $14.99/mo), shows the ratio and grade on the free tier instead of a bare pass or fail, screens crypto, and adds AI explanations, a Developer API, Telegram bot, Chrome extension, and Arabic support. Zoya's edge is its native mobile app and in-app trading. If you want the most transparent screening at the lower price, HalalScreener is the better choice.
