Originally, the promise of real-time data.

### "I like it, but…"

September 24, 2024

4.0

Pros

One of the things I love about Seeking Alpha is the range of contributors, which includes retail investors, financial professionals, and market analysts. It all helps in making well-rounded investment decisions. The metrics are thorough as well.

Cons

Because the content is generated by a wide range of contributors, the quality of articles can vary. Some articles are well-researched, others might be based more on opinion rather than solid data.

Smarter investing.

Pros

Timely reporting of time sensitive investment questions.

I do not have one to one live support. Only needed it once, but it took several days and emails to resolve. One interactive call could have settled the issue in minutes.

### "seeking alpha service"

December 12, 2022

4.0

I had a problem with a subscription and the assistance I received was fast and very helpful. Within a very short time they solved the problem by demonstrating a very high customer-oriented service. Seeking alpha once again proves not only to have the highest quality content on the web but also a very high quality customer support.

Pros

Seeking alpha has significant role in my investment decision. The app is very easy to use and rich of contents. . Highly recommended!

Cons

High quality content, easy of use. I suggest a calendar with the macro events of the week with the possibility of setting notifications and linked with google calendar

December 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

It aggregates information from various sources: quant, authors, and Wall Street.

Cons

I had a problem linking an outside portfolio that uses 2-factor authentication. Support solved the problem when they discovered the one-time passcode could be entered at the end of the password.

### "Great pp for tracking the financial markets"

August 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

I am a retired small investor who finds the different analysis of the various writers fascinating. Being retired and interested in retirement income I especially enjoy the Stanford chemist, and recently signed up for a new service called Alpha Picks which I hope will be productive. I am by no means a professional but I find the tracking and screening aspects of Seeking Alpha superior to my Schwab brokerage account. I also enjoy the Quantitative Analysis section of Seeking alpha run by a quant named \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]

Cons

Overall the quality of the writers/analysts is very good, but I wonder how much screening is done on the authors. Overall it is excellent software

### "Great Product and Price!"

August 5, 2022

5.0

I was able to make substantial gains within the trial period alone! Get this product and your money will most likely be made back very quickly.

Pros

The feature that was most impactful for me was the marketplace. You can choose from various elements, from groups that will help you with commodities to those that will help your daily trade. I picked BadBeat Investing and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my trading career. Will be signing up and continuing with them as their record is excellent and so is their customer service. Very easy to understand communication so that you can get into and out of trade and will know why you are doing so. Perfect service for the newbie trader as well as seasoned.

Cons

If I had to name a feature that I liked the least, it would be the layout of the website itself. It's not bad, it could just be improved. Petty I know but there is a con and that's it.

### "Excellence from Seeking Alpha"

August 7, 2022

5.0

I've been a stock investor for a little over five years, and I've been investing since I was a young man. Seeking Alpha is not only a top notch program, with lots of benefits and features, but also has wonderful customer service support, such as I just mentioned from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]. I am delighted to have Seeking Alpha!

Pros

Seeking Alpha is a wonderful tool that I use daily to analyze stocks that I may add to my portfolios. I'd highly recommend this product, and the wonderful folks, like \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] who has recently helped me with a new feature. Customer service is REALLY GREAT!

Cons

I cannot say what I like LEAST; I can say that I am glad and thankful that they are working all the time to improve their product -- a new to me "health score" comes to mind.

October 7, 2022

5.0

I have use the SW for less than 2 years. I regret no been a SA customer before.

Pros

The product is backed by a team of dedicated people seeking satisfaction of the customer. They go, in my case I can say, the extra mile to get the solution of any issue.

Cons

I have not explore more than 40% of things in the app. Every time I think of anything, I find it in the app. Great

### "Seeking Alpha the best so far"

August 22, 2022

5.0

Overall, I am very happy with the subscription - but sometimes I feel that am not able to do justice coz I don't use my subscription to the fullest.

Pros

Premium subscription which in itself is a huge data bank for investors and on the other hand I highly recommend the new products where they recommend the top stocks to invest(Alpha Picks) - adds great value

Cons

Too many ads and suggestions - I would personally like fewer ads which are personalized to my investment style based on my data backtrack.

### "Great product with awesome customer service :)"

August 3, 2022

5.0

Awesome product features most importantly. Aside, Baphira from SA support team attended to my query regarding expiring annual premium subscription, offered support deals to aid my circumstance in the current inflationary environment and miscellaneous payment queries, all resolved in just 1 to 2 days. Couldn't be more grateful!

Pros

Unique perspectives presented by content creators on SeekingAlpha allows me to make informed decisions. By allowing linkage with popular trading platform like Interactive Brokers I can view my portfolio performance in quick glance.

Cons

Share price movements are not updated in real time even with premium subscriptions, would love to use SA for all my investments monitoring decisions.

September 11, 2022

5.0

Seeking Alpha "articles" have given me phenomenal ideas for investments, which I am then able to "deep research" with the SA software. This has led to solid success in my portfolios.

Pros

I LOVE the news feeds for any target company I pick, as well as investor opinions and recommendations, and THE COMMENTS following investor opinion articles.

Cons

I have ZERO complaints. The software has been flawless in use for over 3 years by me.

### "Good site for keeping abreast of specific companies and doing stock research"

February 3, 2023

4.0

There are a couple of authors that I follow to help me choose what stocks to invest in. One has made me a good sum of money from the articles he has written. Another I followed wrote articles about the philosophy of investing which has been a great help in my choosing my investing style.

Pros

Seeking Alpha (SA) has most statistics on individual stocks like the P/E ratio, Dividends paid and their frequency, Current earnings and future earnings. Just most of what an investor needs to be informed about a given stocks performance. It also provides access to quarterly and annual conference calls and SEC reports. It just has a plethora of information for investors, including articles written by professionals and lay people. I do recommend it as a good source of information for choosing stocks and managing a portfolio. You can also write articles and earn money/cash after they are published.

Cons

Can't really think of much wrong with the site.
