Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis

Not worth the yearly fee

Your password reset does not work. The UI bugs out. On desktop and in the app.

More and more Breaking News articles have big headlines and no useful info. Appear to be designed to hit as many mailboxes as possible by listing multiple stock symbols in the articles with no useful information.

Seeking Alpha is absolutely full of ads, up-sells, and required “on boarding” that requires you to sign up for newsletters and other services. I am furious that I paid $300 for a service that I can’t use due to the ads.

Not based in New York.

The list of stocks and ETFs in my portfolio is not appearing in the order I had set. This stopped working recently. When I edit the portfolio and delete stocks, they still appear after pressing the done button. The order I selected no longer saves. The chat support is broken, too. This used to be a great app. Please fix these serious bugs.

Happy with the site for years, but can’t justify that kind of rate increase.

Every time I launch the app it crashes 30 seconds later. Even after deleting and reinstalling.

Very frustrating, I’ve been using this app for 7 years now, it just gets worse and worse each year, I have to force quit the app 3-5 times a day to get it to load correctly. Every article I click on takes 10-30 seconds to load on a iPhone 16 pro. Opening any images or PDF files they lock you into vertical position so it’s impossible to read most presentations in PDF with the tiny text. It’s almost unusable on phones. Need to look at this site in a browser.

I’m a new premium subscriber. I’m trying to enter in details of my portfolio. It sits there stuck with each keystroke and the lag is ridiculous. Trying to get the Menu to respond is like go away and come back after a few mins. Whoever is in charge of this app should be taken to the back and dealt with.

This site is loaded with extreme right wing types who are free to comment without being censored. Liberal points of view are highly censored. The home of racists, Christian Nationalists and other unsavory groups.

Racist and discriminatory company that mistreats people of color. Wouldn’t recommend supporting their products. Mobile app is a shell of its site. Lotta spammy content.

The great portfolio tracking feature will no longer update without a subscription. It was the one thing that kept me coming back to SA. Was a subscriber for years until many of the articles became nothing but clickbait with little to no substantial value. Leo Nelisson was excellent but I couldn’t justify a $300/yr subscription for only one contributor that was of any value to me. Maybe things will change for the better in the future.

Very little works now. Will not stay on the Portfolios tab, which is my preferred starting page. The customization page does not work and requires closing the app to exit.

SA used to be a good site. But after Trump became POTUS most comment sections turned into deranged Liberal ranting. They can say literally anything, but conservative comments get censored and the Commenter gets put into “review” so every post has to be approved by the censors. This only happens for Conservative posters, the other side posts literally anything with no censorship. I’ve been in moderator review 3x for nothing that is against SA posted rules, only that I defend Conservatives.

Been a subscriber for 2yrs. Why are you just now asking if I will “Accept All Cookies”? I don’t want to share my data and I care about my privacy. You respond to all these reviews so I want an answer as to why you’re all of a sudden requesting this

The commentary from the various writers on this platform are truly amazing, exceptional and inspiring !! I have been a subscriber for several years now and woefully grateful to this EXCEPTIONAL PLATFORM !! Those not subscribing are truly missing out ! Cudo’s to Seeking Alpha !!!!

Tons of pro-Trump writers and articles but if you say one tiny thing negative (site is run by Israelis) you’ll get banned. If you say anything about either one that’s not praising them you will get censored. Many have been banned. Their censorship is draconian. There are better sites nowadays for free this one has jumped the shark.. And the bugs! Constantly makes my phone get extremely hot and slows down making it unusable. It was unusable a year or so ago but it’s still just awful and $300 a year? No thanks Tom Hanks.

Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk. Instead use Claude to plan to specific investment strategies based on investment behaviors. Seeking Alpha is a consistent money graber and in my opinion a complete scam. They pay YouTuber to promote their garbage products and do false return claims by manipulating and changing the portfolio investment. Anytime a stock perform poorly from their alpha picks, they will quickly remove it to showcase they have beat the S&P500, but it’s a lie as they already get rise of the all their losers and only showing their winners. Stay away and invest your money into broad market instead. Don’t get scammed. Also their customer service is a joke. They will never respond to your emails and never help if you need any. Worst service in the market. What a lie and a big disgrace!

I had an unfortunate experience with the subscription renewal. I forgot to cancel before the renewal date and was charged automatically. I understand this is part of the terms, but what disappointed me is that the company refused to offer any refund, even though I contacted them shortly after the charge and did not use the service during the renewed period. I tried reaching out to support and even requested a case review, but the response was still a firm no-refund. Just a heads-up for others: make sure to cancel well in advance if you don’t plan to continue, because once you’re charged, it’s very difficult to get your money back. Be cautious with the auto-renewal policy.

$300 for an annual subscription is a major ripoff.

Recent update has nuked the overall usability and is introducing some very bizarre scrolling behavior.

I’ve used Seeking Alpha for years and I have enjoyed its function and use without having to pay for premium which is what has earned it a star. It was always a bit political in the comments of certain, usually quite informative articles. Lately, every article’s comments are not relevant to the market instead focused on vitriol towards a certain orange man. It’s tiresome and worthless. SA doesn’t seem to moderate at all or enforce their community to stay on topic which is now a devolved silo of hate. I’ll find another financial platform that focuses on the markets not hating on political opinions and views.

The ui is too complicated and complicated. Where is the button to share a stock?
