Finviz is a screener: thousands of stocks, dozens of filters, the map, the news feed, and on Elite real-time quotes and alerts. Sector Pulse is a board: 30 curated sector baskets of 283 names, ranked every few minutes on how the whole group moves, with breadth next to every basket and an alert when a leading name crosses a level on real volume. Finviz answers "which stocks match my filters." The board answers "which sector is the money rotating into right now, and which names lead it." Both have a free version.

Finviz if you screen the whole market on fundamentals and technical filters, or you want one page with news, insiders and a map.
Sector Pulse if you trade rotation: you want to know which group is moving and which name leads it before you touch a screener, and you want the alert at the level on your phone.
A common routine is the board first, then Finviz to look at the names it surfaced. The free board costs nothing to add to that routine.
No. The baskets are curated by theme and versioned. The board tells you which basket is moving and which names drive it; a screener tells you which stocks match a filter.
It updates every few minutes through pre-market and the session from live quotes. Names in three baskets a day are free; every name is in Pro.
