You start with 100,000 in virtual cash and can buy or sell real publicly-listed stocks at nearly real-time market prices from NYSE, NASDAQ, and Borsa Istanbul. No real money is at risk; all trades are simulated. After each trade, an AI assistant evaluates your decision and explains what worked or what could be improved.
UseFinLit’s curriculum covers US equities (NYSE, NASDAQ), Turkish equities (Borsa Istanbul / BIST), ETFs, bonds, options, forex, cryptocurrency, mutual funds, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, portfolio theory, tax planning, 401(k), and Roth IRA basics.

Yes. UseFinLit’s 32 modules start from budgeting and saving fundamentals — no prior finance knowledge required — and progress to advanced topics like options strategies and portfolio theory. Each lesson takes about one minute, so beginners can build knowledge in small daily sessions without overwhelm.
UseFinLit uses gamification mechanics common to language-learning apps — XP, streaks, badges, daily tasks, and leaderboards — but applied to finance education. The format is similar to Duolingo (bite-sized lessons + quizzes), while the content covers stocks, ETFs, bonds, options, crypto, taxes, and retirement planning instead of languages.
An honest comparison of three formats. Where each fits, where each fails, and the hybrid approach that beats them all.
