Your questions about a Seeking Alpha alternative

Is there a free Seeking Alpha alternative?

Yes. You can see Breakaway live with no account and no card, then keep going with a free account. Each stock's public page shows its Quality Score, and Pro members see every stock ranked, live.

Is Seeking Alpha worth it?

That depends on how much you like to read. Seeking Alpha Premium renews at $299 a year after a $4.95 first month and centers on analysis, Quant Ratings, and screeners. If you want one score with its reasons and no reading first, Breakaway's ranking is free to see.

Is there anything better than Seeking Alpha?

It depends on what you want from it. Seeking Alpha is built around articles from independent authors. Breakaway is built around one score for every stock with the reasons in plain words, and you can see it free.

How is the Quality Score different from Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings?

Seeking Alpha says its Quant Ratings grade five factors (value, growth, profitability, momentum, and EPS revisions) against each stock's sector, once a day before the open. The Quality Score adds up insider and Congress trades, the chart, the financials, and the news into one number with a plain word on it.

Does Breakaway have a stock screener like Seeking Alpha's?

Yes. The scanner ranks every stock by its Quality Score, live for Pro members. Pro members can also filter it by sector, theme, and score. Seeking Alpha's screeners come with Premium.

Is Breakaway investment advice?

No. Breakaway scores and ranks stocks and shows the facts behind each score. What you do with it is up to you.

One score for every stock. Check yours, free, in one tap.
