What people say about Snowball Analytics, and what Nimblewit does instead.
Dividend projections that stay flat
Reviewers say future dividend estimates assume the same payment all year, even with reinvestment, which does not reflect how a portfolio grows. Snowball Analytics review
Nimblewit estimates each holding from its payment history and declared payments, and reinvested shares carry into the next payment, so the projection compounds. Estimates are marked until paid.
Broker links that do not work
Some users report failed broker connections because their broker and the aggregator do not work together. Snowball Analytics on Trustpilot
Nimblewit reads statements, CSV and Excel files, and screenshots from any broker, and shows every row for review before saving.
Limits that rise with every tier
The free plan covers 1 portfolio and 10 holdings. Starter lists $55.99 a year, and more portfolios and ratings come on tiers that run up to $174.99. Snowball Analytics pricing
Nimblewit Starter is free for 2 accounts and 10 holdings, and Builder at CA$49 a year covers 5 accounts, 50 holdings and the income calendar.
Built for the investor who wants to see the income.
Income you can see and plan around
Dividends and distributions have their own tab: what you have been paid, a 12-month calendar of declared and estimated payments, projected annual income, and yield on cost.
Reinvestment that compounds
Set cash, fractional or whole-share reinvestment for each holding. Reinvested shares count toward the next payment, so projections grow the way your portfolio does.
Planning tools
On Planner, the Planning tab projects your portfolio and income with your own ages, withdrawal rate and scenarios. It is an illustration, not advice.
Nothing to disconnect
You bring in statements, CSV files or screenshots and review every row before it is saved. There are no bank feeds to drop and no logins to share, and your own records always win over estimates.
Built for registered accounts
TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP and non-registered accounts are treated correctly, including US withholding by account type. Your data is stored in Canada.
Room to grow, at a fair price
A free plan to start, 5 accounts on Builder at CA$49 a year, and no limits on Planner. Real benchmarks, with your own on Planner.
