The Best Empower Portfolio Tracker: 50+ Features Beyond Empower Personal Dashboard

Your money stays at Empower. Stock Unlock adds the analytics layer for smarter portfolio decisions.

No credit card required. Works with IRAs, 401(k)s, and brokerage accounts.

Empower Dashboard Gaps Are Real

Empower (formerly Personal Capital) is great for retirement planning, but active investors often need more. If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone.

Financial Planning Tool, Not Stock Analytics

Empower (formerly Personal Capital) excels at retirement planning and net worth tracking. But individual stock analysis, scoring, and screening are not its strength.

Limited built-in multi-factor stock scoring

Empower doesn't score stocks. No systematic analysis across valuation, profitability, financial health, growth, dividends, management quality, or analyst consensus.

Limited built-in dividend forecasting

Empower shows dividend income in aggregate but doesn't forecast future dividends per holding. No safety scoring, no payout sustainability analysis.

Limited Stock Screener

Empower's native experience emphasizes aggregation and planning over deep stock-level screening. Investors seeking fundamental stock screens often use additional tools.

Limited built-in DCF-style valuation tooling

No discounted cash flow analysis or fair value estimation for individual stocks. Empower focuses on plan-level metrics, not stock-level valuation.

Basic Stock-Level Detail

Empower shows holdings and allocation but lacks deep per-stock analysis: no insider trading data, no institutional ownership trends, no detailed financial statements.

How It Works (And What It Costs)

Unlike most platforms that make you pay before connecting, we let you try everything first.

1

Create a free account

Sign up with your email. No credit card required. You immediately get access to our free tier: watchlists, limited stock analysis, and manual portfolio tracking.

2

Connect Empower for free

Click "Connect Brokerage" and select Empower. You'll authenticate securely via SnapTrade. Your credentials never touch our servers. Note: Empower provides holdings only (no transaction history). This is free to do.

3

Get 15 days of automatic syncing

Your holdings sync automatically for 15 days. Full access to all features. See exactly what you'd get as a paying subscriber.

4

Your data stays with you forever

After 15 days, automatic syncing pauses, but your portfolio data stays. You can continue tracking manually for free, or upgrade to Pro ($9/month) to keep auto-sync running.

Why We Do It This Way

Most portfolio trackers want your credit card before you connect a brokerage. We're confident enough in our product that we flip that model. Connect first, see the value, then decide if it's worth $9/month to you. We have a 30-day money-back guarantee too.

Can I track Empower alongside other brokerages?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons people use Stock Unlock. Connect Empower, Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, or any of 30+ brokerages and see everything in one Combined Portfolio view. You get the safety and reliability of established brokerages while using a modern platform that actually shows you the full picture: total net worth, true asset allocation, opportunities, and risks across your linked accounts.
How often does my Empower portfolio sync?
Your holdings sync automatically while your connection is active. Timing depends on data availability from the provider.
Is Stock Unlock a brokerage?
No. We're a portfolio tracking and analysis platform, not a brokerage. Brokerages profit when you trade. We pay the bills through optional premium features that help you research better. This means our tools are designed to help you make informed decisions, not encourage unnecessary trading. Read our story to learn why we built this and why we keep prices low.
Can I disconnect my Empower account later?
Yes. Simply delete the portfolio in Stock Unlock. You have full control over your account and data at all times. You can also revoke access directly from Empower's third-party permissions if you prefer.
What if I don't want to connect my brokerage?
No problem. You can upload your holdings via CSV or enter them manually. You still get all the same portfolio analytics, dividend tracking, and Stock Scores. The brokerage connection just saves you from manual data entry.
What data does Stock Unlock import from Empower?
Stock Unlock imports your current holdings from Empower, including positions in your IRAs, 401(k)s, and brokerage accounts. Note that transaction history is not available for Empower connections, so historical performance calculations will be limited. You can manually add transactions if needed for full performance tracking.
