AlphaYouAlphaYou vs. Motley Fool: Real-Time Filing Alerts vs. Curated Stock Picks
How AlphaYou's insider, congress, and 13F filing alerts compare to Motley Fool Stock Advisor's curated pick service — pricing, model, and which fits you.
Direct answerMotley Fool Stock Advisor sends 2 curated stock picks a month with commentary for $199/yr. AlphaYou instead alerts you every time an insider, member of Congress, or hedge fund files a trade — the same primary-source data professionals watch, so the calls stay yours.
- 2 stock picks/month, analyst commentary, and sell alerts when they change their view. Motley Fool markets an +883% cumulative return since Stock Advisor launched in 2002 — beating its own weighted S&P 500 benchmark (+195%) by nearly 4x, per their marketing (self-reported, not independently audited). Also worth knowing: a publicly documented, disputed BBB complaint over a $218 auto-renewal charge.
- Real-time alerts on Form 4 insider trades, congressional filings, 13F disclosures, and government contract awards — continuously, with no monthly quota and no curated opinion sitting between you and the data.
- Want someone else to have already picked for you? Motley Fool's model does that. Want the same raw filings institutions act on, and to decide for yourself? That's AlphaYou.
