Weekly Stock Picks vs Zacks Premium
We wrote this comparison ourselves, so read it with that in mind. What we can do is be straight with you about where Zacks is the better choice — and it genuinely is, for some people.
Price, up front
Typically sold with a 30-day free trial; Zacks advertises a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Or $19.99/month. 30-day money-back guarantee on both.
We're the cheaper option here. On list price, we run $50/year less. If they're currently running a first-year promotion, check whether it changes that for year one — promos come and go.
Zacks pricing checked September 2026 and may have changed since — all three of these services run frequent promotions. Check their current pricing
What Zacks is
A quantitative rating system built around earnings-estimate revisions, with screens and rank-based stock lists.
Where Zacks beats us
- A published, long-studied quantitative ranking methodology.
- Strong screening tools and rank-based lists across a very wide universe.
- A longer money-back guarantee than ours (90 days versus our 30).
- Better suited to investors who want to run their own screens.
How the two differ
| Zacks | Weekly Stock Picks | |
|---|---|---|
| Core signal | Earnings-estimate revisions and a proprietary rank | Price momentum confirmed by fundamental review |
| Output | Ranks and screens across a broad universe | A curated weekly shortlist with a stated rationale per pick |
| Work required | You filter the ranked lists down to something actionable | The shortlist is already the filtered result |
| Public track record | Aggregate strategy performance is published; the per-pick record is not public | Every closed pick, individually, on a 30-day delay |
That last row is the one we'd check first if we were you. Ours is 136 closed picks, published individually 30 days after each one closes.
See the recordChoose Zacks if
- You want to run your own screens against a large ranked universe.
- Earnings-revision-driven strategies are what you're after.
- The longer money-back window matters to you.
Choose us if
- You want someone to do the filtering and hand you a shortlist.
- You want momentum confirmed by fundamentals rather than a single quant factor.
- You want to audit every individual closed pick before subscribing.
Try us for 30 days. Decide for yourself.
Check the public track record first, then subscribe if it holds up. If it doesn't work for you, the 30-day guarantee means you pay nothing.
