Beta ended. So did the escape hatch.

Google Finance is out of beta. Here is what that changed

The beta label came off on July 23, 2026, and the option to switch back to classic went with it. What changed, and where classic users go now.

Not mockups — work in progress

See it for yourself. It's really back.

These are real screenshots from the Folivue build. Honestly: we are about 40% of the way there — some spacing, charts and features still need work before they match the real design — so give us one more week. Live market data underneath, no AI layer on top, and the rest of the classic view landing piece by piece.

Updated July 29, 2026

For almost a year, the AI-powered Google Finance carried a beta label, and the label was a promise of sorts: this is an experiment, and the link in the corner will take you back to the classic page. On July 23, 2026, Google Finance exited beta. The label went away, a dedicated app launched, and the switch-back link vanished for everyone.

If you are searching for the Google Finance beta, chances are you want one of two things: to understand what the end of the beta changed, or to undo it. This page covers the first. Folivue, launching next week, covers the second.

What leaving beta actually changed

Exiting beta was not just a label change. It locked in the redesign.

  • The Switch to classic Google Finance toggle was removed for all users
  • The AI-powered page became the only version served worldwide
  • Google launched a dedicated Google Finance app alongside the site
  • Portfolios finished migrating to the new, simplified system

Portfolio missing after the beta?

The most common complaint since the beta ended is portfolio data. Portfolios were migrated to the redesigned system rather than deleted, but longtime users report that transaction histories, sorting, and cost basis views did not survive the move. If your holdings are still visible in the new interface, copy the positions, quantities, and cost basis into a spreadsheet now, before another migration touches them.

Out of beta means no more opt-out

While the beta lasted, the classic page was one click away, so most people tolerated the experiment. Now the redesign is the finished product, and Google's finished products do not roll back. The classic experience survives only as a rebuild: Folivue recreates the pre-beta page, with live data and no AI, launching next week.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Finance still in beta?

No. Google Finance exited beta on July 23, 2026. The AI-powered redesign is now the finished, default product, and the beta-era link back to the classic design was removed the same day.

Can I go back to the pre-beta Google Finance?

Not on google.com. The classic toggle that existed during the beta is gone, and no setting or URL restores the old page. Folivue is an independent rebuild of the pre-beta experience, launching next week.

Why is my portfolio different since the beta ended?

The exit from beta completed the migration to a simplified portfolios system. Users report losing transaction-level history, sorting, and detail views that the classic portfolios had. Record your current holdings while they are visible.

Will Google bring the classic view back now that the beta is over?

There is no indication it will. Leaving beta signals the redesign is final, and Google's retired designs, from Reader to Inbox, have stayed retired.
