Capital Companion Review 2026: Shutting Down Sept 19
This review is researched from each provider's official pricing, plans and public user feedback — see our editorial process for how we keep it accurate.
Is Capital Companion still worth using in 2026?
No — Capital Companion is shutting down. Major 7, the company behind it, has stopped accepting new sign-ups and confirmed the service closes on September 19, 2026, one day after this review was published. Existing users can still request an export of their journal entries, trade plans, watchlists and alerts until December 18, 2026. This review covers what the platform did, what it cost, and what to do next.

Capital Companion was built by Major 7, a company also known for other AI-branded consumer apps, and positioned itself as an all-in-one cockpit for retail traders — not just a chart-reading gimmick, but a workflow that combined AI stock analysis, risk/reward math, alerting, and journaling in one place. If you were partway through evaluating it, or already paying for Pro or Elite, the practical questions now are what happens to your data and where to go next, and that's what this review focuses on.
What Capital Companion actually did
Capital Companion's core loop was: pick a stock, run an AI-generated analysis pass, turn that analysis into a structured trade plan, set an alert or two, then log the outcome in the built-in trade journal so you could look back at whether your plan actually worked. That's a materially different shape from a lot of AI trading tools, which stop at "here's a signal" — Capital Companion tried to wrap the whole decision-to-review cycle.
AI stock analysis. Users could run an AI review on a ticker that combined technical indicators with a written summary — the kind of "why does this setup look interesting" narrative that's normally the job of scanning several indicators by hand. The platform called its usage-metered analysis runs "AI requests," and how many you got per month was the main lever separating its pricing tiers.
Position sizing and risk-reward calculators. Rather than just handing back a price target, Capital Companion included calculators to size a position against account risk tolerance and to work out a trade's risk-reward ratio before entering it — the kind of math experienced traders do manually but that a lot of retail platforms skip entirely.
Trade plan templates. Instead of a single number, the tool generated structured plans with entry, stop-loss and target levels attached, meant to be saved and referenced rather than read once and discarded.
Price alerts and watchlists. Free users got 5 alerts and three watchlists of up to 25 symbols each; paid tiers removed those caps. Alerts tied back into the trade-plan workflow — set a plan, get notified when price approached the levels in it.
Trade journal. Every AI review run and trade plan could be logged and revisited, with the Free tier capped at 10 saved review runs and paid tiers unlocking full review history. This is the piece that differentiated Capital Companion from single-shot chart-analysis tools — it was designed around traders coming back to look at what they got right or wrong.
Market sentiment ("Market Pulse"). A broader sentiment layer sat alongside the per-stock tools, giving a read on overall market mood rather than just individual ticker setups.
Pricing history
Capital Companion ran a three-tier structure for its whole life, gated primarily by monthly "AI request" allowances and how much alert/watchlist/journal history each tier unlocked.
| Plan | Price | AI requests/month | Alerts & watchlists | Journal history | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 25 | 5 alerts, 3 watchlists (25 symbols each) | 10 saved review runs | — |
| Pro | $39.99/month ($359.99/year) | 300 | Unlimited | Full history | Premium "recipes" (pre-built analysis workflows) |
| Elite | $89.99/month ($799.99/year) | 1,000 | Unlimited | Full history | Advanced scanning, audio briefings, priority support |
Pricing and feature availability above reflect what was published on capitalcompanion.ai as of this post's date (September 18, 2026) — the site itself confirms these figures are now historical, since new subscriptions are no longer being accepted. Because the service is closing, treat this table as a record of what existed rather than something to act on.
Why it's shutting down
Major 7 has posted a shutdown notice on capitalcompanion.ai stating that the service is closing on September 19, 2026, and that a copy of user data — journal entries, trade plans, watchlists and alerts — is available on request until December 18, 2026, by emailing support@major7apps.com. That notice, and the closed sign-up flow, are the confirmed facts. Major 7 hasn't published a detailed explanation of the business reasoning behind the closure, and this review isn't going to speculate about it — if you want the company's own reasoning, check the notice on capitalcompanion.ai directly, since that's the only source that's actually confirmed anything.
Who it was actually for
Looking back at how the tiers were structured, Capital Companion mapped fairly cleanly onto three kinds of trader:
- Casual/curious traders on the Free plan — enough AI requests and a small journal to try the workflow on a handful of tickers without paying, but not enough runway to use it as a daily driver.
- Active retail traders on Pro — 300 AI requests a month and unlimited alerts/watchlists was clearly aimed at someone checking several setups a day and wanting the trade-plan-to-journal loop for real position sizing.
- High-frequency or multi-strategy traders on Elite — the jump to 1,000 requests, advanced scanning, and audio briefings targeted people running more tickers or strategies at once, or who wanted a hands-free morning briefing rather than reading dashboards.
None of that matters for new users now, since sign-ups are closed — but it's useful context if you're deciding what kind of alternative tool to replace it with.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Combined analysis, position sizing, alerts and journaling in one workflow instead of scattering it across tools | Now shutting down — no path to keep using it past September 19, 2026 |
| Free tier let traders test the workflow before paying | AI-generated analysis and sentiment reads were never a substitute for independent judgment, regardless of tier |
| Trade journal linked outcomes back to the original plan, useful for reviewing decision quality over time | Usage-metered "AI requests" meant heavy users could burn through a monthly allowance quickly on Free or even Pro |
| Elite's audio briefings and advanced scanning suited traders wanting a hands-free daily read | No confirmed detail from Major 7 on why the shutdown is happening, so it's unclear whether a successor product is planned |
Integrations and ecosystem
Capital Companion was a standalone web platform rather than a tool built around third-party integrations — there's no public record of a documented API, Zapier connector, or Slack/Discord integration for alerts. Notifications appear to have been handled inside the platform's own alert system rather than pushed out to other apps. That's consistent with it being positioned as a self-contained cockpit rather than a piece of a larger trading stack.
What to do now if you were a Capital Companion user
Export your data before December 18, 2026. Email support@major7apps.com to request a copy of your journal entries, trade plans, watchlists and alerts. Don't wait until the deadline week — email support now, confirm what format the export comes in, and save it somewhere durable (not just an email attachment you might lose track of).
Cancel any recurring billing separately if needed. A shutdown notice doesn't always automatically stop a subscription charge on every billing platform; if you're on Pro or Elite, check your billing receipt or account settings to confirm whether Major 7 is handling cancellations for you or whether you need to cancel manually.
Look at what replaces the workflow, not just the AI feature. Capital Companion's real value was the loop between plan, alert and journal, not any single AI call. A reasonable replacement stack might combine a broker's native alerts and watchlists, a spreadsheet or dedicated trading-journal app for logging outcomes, and a separate AI chart or analysis tool for the "second opinion" piece — our TradeSnap AI review covers one option for that last piece specifically, an upload-a-chart tool that returns entry, stop-loss and take-profit levels, though it has no free tier and isn't a like-for-like replacement for Capital Companion's fuller workflow.
Don't assume any AI trading tool replaces your own judgment. Whatever you move to next, the same caution that applied to Capital Companion applies generally — AI-generated trade plans and sentiment reads are inputs to a decision, not the decision itself, and no tool in this category is a substitute for understanding your own risk tolerance.
The bottom line
Capital Companion was a genuinely more complete take on AI-assisted trading than most single-purpose chart tools — it tied analysis, position sizing, alerts and a trade journal into one loop instead of leaving traders to stitch that together themselves. That doesn't matter for anyone considering signing up now, because sign-ups are closed and the platform closes September 19, 2026. If you're a current user, the only actionable step is exporting your data before December 18, 2026 and lining up a replacement for the parts of the workflow you relied on most.
Frequently asked questions
Is Capital Companion still accepting new sign-ups?
No. New sign-ups and subscriptions have ended, and the service itself closes on September 19, 2026.
Can I still get my data out of Capital Companion?
Yes, through December 18, 2026. Email support@major7apps.com to request a copy of your journal entries, trade plans, watchlists and alerts.
Why is Capital Companion shutting down?
Major 7 hasn't published a detailed reason beyond the shutdown notice itself, which confirms the closure date and data export window. Check capitalcompanion.ai directly for the company's own statement rather than relying on speculation.
What did Capital Companion cost before it stopped taking sign-ups?
It ran Free, Pro ($39.99/month or $359.99/year) and Elite ($89.99/month or $799.99/year) tiers, differentiated mainly by monthly AI-request allowances, alert/watchlist limits, and journal history depth.
Will my Pro or Elite subscription keep billing after the shutdown?
That's not something this review can confirm for your specific account — check your billing receipt or account settings, and contact support@major7apps.com if you're unsure whether your subscription has been or will be cancelled.
Is there a direct replacement for Capital Companion?
Not that carries over the exact same combination of features under one roof. You'll likely need to combine a broker's alerts/watchlists, a separate trade-journal app, and an AI chart or analysis tool like TradeSnap AI to cover similar ground.
Was Capital Companion's AI analysis accurate?
Major 7 didn't publish independently verified accuracy figures for its AI stock analysis or sentiment tools, and none should be assumed now that the platform is closing. As with any AI trading tool, its output was meant to be one input among several, not a standalone signal to trade on.
Does Major 7 make other products that are also shutting down?
This review only covers Capital Companion. Check Major 7's own channels directly if you use other products from the company and want to know their status.
