Our verdict
Alpha Picks is Seeking Alpha's stock-picking service run by its Quant team under Steven Cress. Members get two new "Strong Buy" picks per month, access to the full model portfolio, a write-up for every pick, Hold/Sell alerts when ratings change and members-only webinars.
Seeking Alpha reports Alpha Picks returned +319.19% versus +102.18% for the S&P 500 from July 1, 2022 to October 16, 2026. That is a self-reported figure, and past performance does not guarantee future results — individual picks can and do lose money, and the portfolio can lean heavily into a few sectors.
List price is $499/year; we saw a promotional rate of $449 for the first year in October 2026. It is aimed at buy-and-hold investors who want a short list of ideas rather than income or dividend investors. Prices checked on seekingalpha.com in October 2026 and may change.
