Stock Alarm - Alerts, Tracker

doubtful rating

Stock Alarm does one clear thing, sending an alert when a price target is hit, and some people are happy with that. But alerts arrive delayed, prices for futures and some securities can be wrong, and the subscription advertised at 2.99 a month quietly turns into an annual one you cannot cancel.

About the rating

A store average of 4.77 against a text average of 3.42 and 52% five-star ratings. The gap is noticeable. An alarming signal in the subscription reviews: it is advertised at 2.99 a month but billed annually, plus people cannot cancel for months and get no reply. The technical complaints are specific: delayed alerts, wrong prices, a narrow ticker list. The five-star reviews are alive, but the billing issue drags it down.

Strengths

What users love

  • Alerts in three formats at once: push
  • Email
  • Text. It is convenient not to sit at the monitor and get a signal when the price reaches your target. Pleasant sounds and alarm settings.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • Alerts arrive with a delay
  • Which on a fast market is enough to miss the moment. Prices for the S&P 500
  • Futures
  • And some ETFs can be wrong and stale
  • And the list of available tickers is narrow. Canceling the subscription becomes a quest with no reply from support.

Who it is for

People who need simple price alerts on popular securities and who will carefully check the subscription terms before paying.
