Your brokerage can tell you what your account is worth. Getting a clear answer to “How much income will these holdings pay, and what could interrupt it?” often takes more work.

A useful dividend tracker brings the payment calendar, portfolio income and underlying research together. The right choice depends on whether you want a quick phone app, detailed reporting, help evaluating dividend risk, or data you can use in a spreadsheet or AI assistant.

Here are ten tools worth considering, with SmarterDividends first for US investors who want tracking and research in one place.

Disclosure: This guide is published by SmarterDividends, which develops the first product on the list. We compared the providers’ public product and pricing pages. The recommendations reflect the uses described below.

1. SmarterDividends

Our overall pick for US dividend investors who want tracking, research and income planning together.

The most useful question a dividend dashboard can answer is what deserves your attention next. A calendar helps you plan. A payment history helps you understand the business. A safety assessment gives you a reason to look more closely before relying on a high yield.

SmarterDividends combines a portfolio tracker with dividend histories, ex-dividend dates, A–F safety grades and fair-value estimates. Its free tracker supports up to ten holdings. Pro adds unlimited holdings, up to ten portfolios, a twelve-month income forecast and email alerts for dividend changes and fair-value crossings. Pro costs $99 a year; the displayed $8.25 monthly figure is the annual price divided by twelve.

The tools outside the dashboard are a good reason to put it first. A free remote MCP server lets compatible AI assistants retrieve dated dividend data and source links. You can ask about a company’s dividend history or upcoming ex-dividend events using the underlying records. The free dividend API also supplies JSON and CSV data for spreadsheets and custom workflows, without an API key.

For a lighter routine, the free Saturday Dividend Value Digest covers stocks crossing below the site’s fair-value estimates, alongside detected dividend raises, cuts and suspensions.

That gives you several ways to use the same research: check a holding on the website, review the weekly email, or bring the data into your own tools. Safety grades and valuation estimates are models, so use them as starting points for research. If your first requirement is automatic brokerage sync, compare each provider’s current supported-broker list before choosing.

2. Snowball Analytics

A strong choice for investors managing multiple accounts or currencies.

Snowball Analytics puts dividend tracking inside a broader portfolio-analysis service. Its product pages list brokerage connections, performance calculations that include fees and dividends, income calendars and multicurrency reporting.

The free plan includes one portfolio and ten holdings. Paid plans expand those limits and add features such as brokerage linking and dividend ratings. Its Expert plan also lists MCP access, which is worth checking if AI integration matters to your workflow.

Start here if the difficult part of tracking your income is bringing several accounts together. Confirm that your particular broker and required features are covered by the plan you choose. View Snowball’s plans.

3. Simply Safe Dividends

Worth considering when dividend-risk research is the main reason you are paying for a tool.

Simply Safe Dividends combines portfolio tracking with analyst research and its Dividend Safety Scores. Its published feature list includes an income calendar, forecasts, dividend-change alerts, valuation charts and stock and closed-end-fund screeners.

The service costs $468 a year, billed annually. That makes it a different purchase from a small calendar app: the case for the subscription rests partly on how much use you will make of the research. A free trial lets you inspect the service before deciding.

No safety rating makes a dividend certain. Read the reasoning behind a score, especially for a holding that contributes a large share of your income. View Simply Safe Dividends.

4. Sharesight

A useful option when performance records and reporting matter as much as the next payment.

Sharesight tracks dividends and distributions across multiple brokers and global markets. Its dividend tools include income tracking, estimates of future payments and reporting features that help organize records for tax time.

That broader accounting view can be useful if you own US shares alongside international investments, or want to understand how dividends contributed to portfolio performance. Check which broker integrations and reports are available for your country and plan.

Future-payment estimates still need to be distinguished from dividends a company has actually declared. Explore Sharesight’s dividend tracker.

5. Stock Events

A good shortlist candidate for people who prefer checking investments on their phone.

Stock Events brings portfolio information and market events into an app with web access. Its offering includes dividend information alongside earnings dates and other events relevant to holdings.

That is a practical combination if you want to glance at what is happening this week without maintaining a large spreadsheet. Try it with the stocks and ETFs you actually own, and check the app’s current limits and upgrade options before moving your full portfolio across.

The question is whether its everyday view gives you the information you need quickly. Explore Stock Events.

6. Track Your Dividends

A dividend-focused starting point for income calendars and portfolio analysis.

Track Your Dividends offers upcoming-payment information, diversification analysis, future-value tools and dividend-focused research. Its site also lists a Dividend Safety Score, so it is worth examining how that assessment fits your research process.

A free basic version and premium subscription give you a way to start small. Compare the current plan details against what you need: the ability to enter your portfolio, inspect future payments and understand the businesses supplying that income.

Use projected income as an estimate that can change when a company changes its payout. Explore Track Your Dividends.

7. DivTracker

An option for iPhone and web users who want a straightforward income dashboard.

DivTracker shows monthly income, upcoming payments, ex-dividend dates and projections. It supports manual holdings and offers US brokerage connections through Plaid or SnapTrade on its Ultimate plan.

The free plan covers one portfolio with five holdings. Pro removes the portfolio and holdings limits; Ultimate adds brokerage sync. Its published features also include CSV export.

Those distinctions matter more than the headline subscription price. Decide whether you need automatic imports or are happy entering a smaller portfolio yourself. This entry refers specifically to the product at divtracker.app. Explore DivTracker.

8. The Dividend Tracker

Worth a look if cash-flow planning is your main concern.

The Dividend Tracker emphasizes forward income, payments already received and a calendar of upcoming events. Its public product page separates declared payments from forecasts and shows the currencies used for foreign holdings.

That is a useful distinction for a US investor who owns Canadian or UK dividend payers as well as domestic stocks. A payment in another currency needs to stay identifiable even when the dashboard converts the total into dollars.

Check current account connections and plan limits against your own holdings. Explore The Dividend Tracker.

9. Digrin

A practical candidate for investors who like dividend-growth metrics and spreadsheet imports.

Digrin’s published tools include a dividend calendar, yield on cost, dividend-growth rates, XIRR, benchmark comparisons and a dividend screener. It also offers tax estimates and CSV imports from several portfolio and brokerage formats.

Its site lists direct synchronization with Interactive Brokers and Trading 212. If you use a different broker, inspect the import options rather than assuming a direct connection exists.

A public example portfolio gives you a way to see how the information is organized before building your own. Explore Digrin.

10. Dividend Watch

A useful alternative for combining dividend tracking with portfolio views.

Dividend Watch lists dividend and reinvestment tracking, an income calendar, a safety score, diversification views and CSV imports. Its calendar distinguishes estimated, confirmed and paid dividends.

The free tier supports up to ten holdings in a single portfolio. Paid plans expand access for larger or multiple portfolios and additional tools.

It is worth trying if you want to see income, portfolio composition and investment events together. As with the other services, check your holdings and any broker connection before committing to a plan. Explore Dividend Watch.

How to choose without moving your portfolio ten times

Start with five holdings you know well. Include a regular quarterly payer, an ETF and, if you own one, a security with variable distributions. Compare the shares, payment amounts, dates and currencies with your brokerage records.

Then ask what the tool helps you do. Can you separate money already received from projected income? Can you understand why a dividend looks risky? Can you export your records? Does the free plan cover enough of your portfolio to evaluate it properly?

If AI tools are part of your routine, inspect the actual data connection and the sources returned. An AI summary is more useful when you can trace its figures back to a dated record.

For a US-focused starting point, try SmarterDividends. You can explore the research, use the free tracker, read the weekly digest and connect the data to your existing workflow before deciding whether you need Pro.
