Seeking Alpha is a great app that provides a high degree of stock analysis to aid investors in choosing great stocks and etfs. I do a lot of financial research and have come to rely on Seeking Alpha for the bulk of my financial information. I look forward every morning to great news and insightful articles. There's not a better financial app available anywhere.

Analyst reviews are amazingly detailed and helpful to identify stock pros and cons, stock assessment and performances are very detailed too, all preferred stocks are downloadable into Excel. I greatly improved by performance with SeekingAlpha and will continue to use it in the future.

Top value for the subscription cost. SA blows Dividend.com, of which I'm a paid subscriber, out of the water. I like SA better than Yahoo Finance Plus, as well.

I like the different editorials. Especially those from both sides of the coin. Then it leaves me to make a decision. Some very good authors and analysis. I would be willing to pay extra for live after hours quotes as these seem to not be live Alpha Picks has surprised me as they appear to be pulling rabbits out of a hat with companies totally not on my radar, and are outperforming my own choices. The company appears to be well run and very focused, not trying to be everything to everybody. If not a subscriber I would highly reccomend giving it a try.

They are totally unreasonable. Charged my credit card and I called them to notify as soon as I received the charge on my statement. They said it had been over 24 hours so they couldn't do anything about it. 24 hours? I asked how I can call in 24 hours for a charge I wasn't aware of. SCAM ARTISTS. This is the company that once they get enough bad reviews changes their name and does it to people all over again. So sad.

Absolutely WORST
January 31, 2023

These bunch of THUGS praying on financially naive people. They renew subscriptions without sending you a notice so you never know of renewal until when the statement comes and if you reach out to them as soon as you come to know of charge, they site baloney agreement clause and refuse to refund. NEVER Subscribe.

Seeking alpha has provided a prorated refund for an annual subscription that the author suspended activities on after I complained.
I now feel I have been treated fairly and I do find seeking alpha to be an excellent source of investment information.

Try them and find out!
December 5, 2022

I would encourage any investor or trader to check out SeekingAlpha. I took advantage of their 2-week trial period. I'm glad I did.

I'm pretty new to investing in equities. I've owned only mutual funds through my 401k. However, I'm now retired, and I'm learning to manage my retirement capital and do my own investing. It's important to me to treat it like a business.

During my trial period, I did as much reading on their site as I could. As it turns out, it's beyond the level of information I can absorb as a newbie. I decided not to subscribe at this time. At some point in the future as my level of knowledge increases, I'll definitely try SeekingAlpha again. There's likely a future time when I'll find their content beneficial toward my investing goals and more than worth the subscription price.

If you're unsure and haven't explored what's available on SeekingAlpha, treat yourself to the 2-week trial and dig in.

This is unfortunate. They say you read articles when you haven't. Says you reached an article limit even when you haven't read any articles. Then a banner pops up and says pay $99.99 for unlimited access.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for any inconvenience.

In order to continue providing our users with outstanding financial analysis and news, we changed our Paywall policy in January 2021.

You can read more about this change here: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4396836-important-update-for-seeking-alpha-users

There is a monthly limit to how much you can read. This limit is dynamic to the individual member, based on the device they use, the traffic source, and a number of other parameters. It resets itself every 28 days.

If you want to keep reading past the limit, you can start your free-trial of Seeking Alpha Premium. Premium, apart from providing you unlimited access to analysis articles also provides you with many other powerful tools that can help you with your investing. You can get an overview of the service here. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4295333-seeking-alpha-premium-overview

Furthermore, it is always our endeavor to provide you the best of the user experience and we are relaying your feedback to our product team for further review and consideration.

For any further information, please write to us at subscriptions@seekingalpalpha.com and mention that your request emanates from Sitejabber and we assure you one of our customer care representatives will be more than glad to help.

Hi A.R,

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for any inconvenience.

Please note that subscription information and billing terms are mentioned on the checkout pages of our subscriptions. We only charge once you authorize the payment.

Having said that, it looks like you inadvertently subscribed to Alpha Picks and not Premium.

Since we endeavor to provide you with the best user experience, we'll be happy to help you switch to the correct subscription you were interested in. Please reach out to us at subscriptions@seekingalpha.com, and one of your customer care representatives will be glad to help straighten out your subscription.

Thank you, and we are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
The Seeking Alpha Team
