How to cancel Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis and get your money back
Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis is a Finance app by Seeking Alpha Ltd.. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 100 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.

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 bet…
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 quick…
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.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
