An immoral unethical organization who is after naive investor's money
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.
PROSNothing to like about this service. Articles are not designed for novice consumer although they claim otherwise. There are conflicting articles about same stock and there is no rating of reliability of data presented. It is up to you to evaluate each writer and article on your own. DO NOT subscribe.
CONSThere is everything to dislike about this service. They are unclear, unmoderated comments and not designed for naive investors. They use your credit card information and put it on auto renew without sending you a renewal email so you never know and when you tell them about this, they refuse to refund.

Great pp for tracking the financial markets
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]
CONSOverall 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

Excellence from Seeking Alpha
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!
PROSSeeking 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!
CONSI 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.

Good site for keeping abreast of specific companies and doing stock research
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.
PROSSeeking 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.
CONSCan't really think of much wrong with the site.

Seeking Alpha the best so far
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.
PROSPremium 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
CONSToo many ads and suggestions - I would personally like fewer ads which are personalized to my investment style based on my data backtrack.

Exceptional newsletter, data feeds and tools
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.
PROSI LOVE the news feeds for any target company I pick, as well as investor opinions and recommendations, and THE COMMENTS following investor opinion articles.
CONSI have ZERO complaints. The software has been flawless in use for over 3 years by me.

Great Product and Price!
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSIf 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.

Great product with awesome customer service :)
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!
PROSUnique 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.
CONSShare price movements are not updated in real time even with premium subscriptions, would love to use SA for all my investments monitoring decisions.

I like Seeking Alpha so long as
Positive and good value, the
PROSI really do like Seeking Alpha and it is the best site of it's type I have found. The important thing to remember is that it is a resource and like all resources, the quality and veracity should be checked. Overall the wealth of knowledge on the Premium site is outstanding. Put a company name in and you'll have more than enough information to at least start to make a decision
CONSI find no fault with it, if I get too many emails etc, I just filter it to the level I want. On some Marketplace services, I have found very occasionally that the provider appears disinterested but SA's response has always resolved matters fairly

Really appreciative of customer service
Why I wrote this review is because of the customer service. I purchased a year subscription. While I genuinely do love the product I simply know I won’t be using it enough over a year for the cost. Seeking alpha was still willing to refund me for the membership though it had been active for a little bit and I really appreciate that.
PROSThe interface is very easy to use and the ability to link your portfolio to see live updates is very helpful. I think the recommendations are good and the author articles are interesting.
CONSWhile my brokerage is linked, every time I purchase new shares it doesn’t seem to update on seekingalpha
