Our TipRanks verdict
TipRanks collects what Wall Street analysts, corporate insiders, bloggers and hedge fund managers are doing with a stock and sums it up. Its Smart Score rates stocks from 1 to 10 using eight factors, six of which TipRanks says are unique to it.
Premium is USD 29.95 a month billed yearly (USD 359.40). Ultimate is USD 49.95 a month billed yearly (USD 599.40). New members have been offered 55% off: USD 13.50 a month for Premium and USD 22.50 a month for Ultimate. TipRanks Basic is free with limited access; watchlist email alerts cover 5 stocks on Basic and 30 on Premium. Plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Stock pages work for US, UK and German stocks in our checks; we found no pages for UAE stocks. Remember that the ratings summarise other people's views.
Who TipRanks is for, and who it is not for
Good fit if you are
- Investors who want to see the analyst consensus and price targets in one place
- People who follow insider trades and hedge fund activity
- Investors who like a single 1 to 10 score as a starting point
Look elsewhere if you are
- Investors in UAE stocks: we found no TipRanks pages for them
- Anyone who wants monthly billing: no monthly plan is shown
- People who want independent analysis rather than a summary of others

Does TipRanks have a free trial?
No free trial is listed. TipRanks offers a 30-day money-back guarantee: try it for 30 days and claim your money back if you are not satisfied.
What is the TipRanks Smart Score?
A score from 1 to 10 based on eight factors, including analyst ratings, insider trades, news sentiment, technicals and fundamentals. TipRanks says its performance results are backtested, which does not show future results.
Does TipRanks cover UK, European and UAE stocks?
We opened pages for Vodafone (UK) and SAP (Germany). Pages for Emaar and First Abu Dhabi Bank were not found.
Is TipRanks legit?
Yes, TipRanks is a real, established research company. Its about page says it tracks the performance of more than 96,000 financial experts, including Wall Street analysts, bloggers, hedge funds and corporate insiders, and that it partners with financial institutions to offer its tools to their clients. Legit does not mean every rating is right: the ratings sum up other people's views, and the Smart Score results are backtested.
Is TipRanks reliable?
The data it collects, such as analyst ratings, price targets and insider trades, comes from public sources and is shown with dates and names. The opinions behind that data can be wrong, so treat a rating or score as a starting point for your own research.
Is TipRanks worth it?
It can be if you often want to see what analysts and insiders think about a stock in one place. Start with the free Basic plan to see if you use it. Premium is billed yearly, and the 30-day money-back guarantee lets you claim your money back if it is not for you. If you want independent analysis or a monthly plan, look at the alternatives above.
Should I buy a stock because its Smart Score is 10?
No. A score is a summary of data and opinions, not advice for your situation. Use it to decide what to research, not what to buy.
