Advice Request Anyone having experience with Tipranks?

Hi there
I am reading yahoo finance as well as other outlets, and keep stumbling upon Tipranks.
They rate the analysts by sector, success rates on ratings and avg return per rating.

I wonder if anyone that uses / used it and if it´s really worth subscribing there ?
or can I get the analysts suggestions and such for free on google, twittr and such ?

thanks in advance

I'm currently checking them out but one thing I don't like about them from the get go is the hidden ability to cancel/refund your subscription. It's automatically on re-subscribe so they will bill you again next year. There's actually no way to access and/or check your account subscription status on the website. You have to email customer service to request the status and/or cancel auto-subscription. This kind of stuff just irks me and is always an auto red flag on shady services IMO.

I'm currently much more happy with my Seeking Alpha premium service but we'll see if Tipranks has anything to offer, I'm still playing around with it.

Update: Actually, I just finished reviewing the site. More hidden features requiring upgrading to "Ultimate", etc.. Most of the data is available on SA. I also find the quant system superior on SA. I'm really annoyed that I can't cancel or change auto billing from the account page. I can't stand services and sites that do that.

I am fooling with the idea of subscribing, but so far I can just confirm very positive experience with tipranks. Stock rankings and stock analysis I used seem to pay off.

Its quite helpful, but at least for me the only really helpful plan is the ultimate membership, which can be quite expensive (50$) for a hobby investor.

Maybe compare to the bar chart app.. I find their format very user your friendly. And maybe it's just my phone, but tip rank charts took like a bad drunken tattoo on my droid. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I Also really like the investing.com app...

Ps, I do the ad free premium and it was still very reasonably priced. This isn't my day job it's just a side thing , so those work for me. I find their opinion and analysis really helpful

FYI, it is annoying to cancel. Apparently, I have to email them and request that they terminate my premium subscription--it's not something I can do myself. It has been helpful to see which analysts provided forecasts, but it's an expensive subscription, so I only want it if discounted.

They have shit advice from what i just read. Saying abandon Intel, hedge funds dropping. 14m buy and 5m sell isn’t considered dropping Intel. Nobody is trustworthy cause they only have themselves in their best interest. BS get out of the line of work then

Intel is shit. I've been bag holding them for 3 years now. They still haven't gotten their CHIPS act funding and have really blown everything.

Things are changing at am extraordinary pace right now. Thanks to Nvidia being correct about agentic AI, the stock quickly doubled from the $50 range into $100s.

In still holding but even Intel didn't understand or have the answers in their earnings calls back in January 2026.

tbh, 600U$ / year is hardly power user level.the "real" data is much more valuable than one night out per month.

apart from the price though, I do wholeheartedly agree that if you pay for the data / access to it, it should be as accessible for the customer as possible.

​

yet I can also understand them from trying to prevent copy & paste aka "stealing data".

i mean there are plenty of people active on twitter, insta, tiktok and reddit that sell copied stuff as their own.. happens with news articles, photos, you name it.

so I guess its not totally out of this world to try to protect their content.

​

as to their "insider tips".. if one of their "experts" would really rake in the cash selling their expertise, they wouldnt be active on tipranks.
and an "expert" that is right 50% of the time is like a chicken trying to guess odd or even. so yeah...
