COMPARE · INVESTIFY
Investify is the PSX app more people have installed than any other: live quotes, charts, a virtual portfolio and news alerts. Equivest starts where a quotes app stops — your actual holdings, imported from a screenshot, with the dividend math, Zakat and community built around them.
THE SHORT VERSION
Investify is quotes and watchlist. Equivest is the portfolio, plus the people.
PICK INVESTIFY IF
You want a proven quotes app with demo trading, available today.
PICK EQUIVEST IF
You hold real shares and want cost basis, dividends and Whale Watch in one place.
SIDE BY SIDE
✓ = offered · — = not offered, or not listed on the product’s public pages as of Sep 2026.
| Capability | Equivest | Investify |
|---|---|---|
| Free to use Both. Investify is free with ads and offers a small ad-free subscription (per its FAQ, as of Sep 2026). Equivest’s core is free with no paywall on holdings or transactions. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Live PSX quotes and charts Both. Investify lists live quotes for 500+ tickers and five-year charts. Equivest has interactive charts with your average cost drawn on the line, plus P/E, dividend yield, market cap and EPS for every listed company. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| KSE-100 and KMI-30 Both. Equivest also carries KSE-30, KMI All-Share and six sector indices, grouped so rotations are obvious. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Portfolio tracking Both. Investify offers a virtual portfolio synced across devices. Equivest tracks every transaction with weighted-average cost, per-trade gain, realised vs unrealised P&L and a full timeline, with closed positions kept in view. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Import from a screenshot or pasted statement Equivest reads a screenshot of any broker app, or a pasted CDC or broker statement, into symbol, quantity and average cost — up to 10,000 rows, reviewed before saving. Not listed on Investify’s public pages. | ✓ yes | — no |
| Corporate actions computed on your holdings Dividends, bonus and right shares, splits — Equivest shows the effect on your share count and average cost before book closure. Investify’s listing describes quotes, charts and news alerts rather than holdings-level corporate-action math. | ✓ yes | — no |
| Price alerts and watchlist Both. Investify sends news alerts and tracks a watchlist. Equivest’s alerts sit on any symbol with NEAR and HIT badges that show how close each one is without opening it. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Follow top investors (Whale Watch) Whale Watch ranks the top PSX investors on Equivest by return, with their seven-day net flow and recent moves. No PSX tracker on the app stores, Investify included, has a social layer as of Sep 2026. | ✓ yes | — no |
| Portfolio Coach Eight deterministic checks every session — concentration, sector tilt, performance against the KSE-100 and more. Not listed on Investify’s public pages. | ✓ yes | — no |
| Demo trading Investify includes demo trading. Equivest has no paper-trading mode. | — no | ✓ yes |
| Shariah screening Both have it. Investify’s features page lists “Shariah Filters” — the KSEALL filter and Islamic stock indicators. Equivest’s Halal-only filter follows the KMI-30 / KMI All-Share methodology. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Zakat calculator Equivest tracks nisab on the silver standard, recomputed daily, and the hawl countdown from your chosen anniversary. Not listed on Investify’s features page as of 20 September 2026. | ✓ yes | — no |
| English and Urdu Investify lists “Urdu news” — business and finance headlines in Urdu. Equivest flips the whole interface to اردو from Settings, which is a wider claim than translated news, and that is the difference rather than presence or absence. | ✓ yes | ✓ yes |
| Places orders on PSX Neither is a broker. Investify positions itself as an alternative to PSX’s DPS data portal; Equivest is a tracker. Execution stays with your licensed broker. | — no | — no |
HONESTLY
Yes. Per its public FAQ as of September 2026, Investify is free with ads and offers a small ad-free subscription. Check investify.pk for current details.
For quotes and a watchlist they overlap. Equivest goes further on the portfolio itself — import from a screenshot, transaction-level cost basis, dividend and bonus math, Zakat — and adds Whale Watch. Investify keeps demo trading, which Equivest does not have.
Equivest imports from any screenshot or pasted list of symbol, shares and price, so a screenshot of your holdings screen is enough. Every row is shown for review before it is saved.
No. Neither app is a broker. Equivest has no execution path at all.
