What’s the Best Stock Screener for “Point-in-Time” Historical Data?

I’m looking for a stock screener that allows for point-in-time filtering—meaning I can select a past date and screen stocks based on their data as it was on that date (rather than adjusted or restated figures).

I want to use this to validate and backtest my current stock-picking strategy by seeing which stocks would have met my filters and thresholds at different points in time.

Key features I’m looking for:

* Date Selection: The ability to specify any past date and see stock data from that time.

* Historical Metrics: Access to past price, valuation metrics, financial ratios, growth rates, and margin percentages.

* Customizable Filters: Ability to screen based on historical fundamentals, such as P/E ratio, gross profit growth (TTM YoY), gross margin %, etc.

Does anyone know of a platform (preferably free) that offers this functionality? Thanks in advance!
