FinPins is independent and not endorsed by Seeking Alpha. This is not investment advice.* Ending Alpha Picks takes a minute or two. Getting the timing and expectations right takes a little more thought. Seeking Alpha's policy says cancellation stops future renewals but does not return money for a period already paid, and that the change takes effect at the end of your current term. Below is the process, the rules and a short checklist for afterwards, all based on the firm's knowledge base and terms. ## The process on the website - Sign in at seekingalpha.com. - Click your avatar and open Account Settings. - Find the list of subscriptions; if it is collapsed, press "Show Details". - Choose Alpha Picks and confirm the cancellation. - Keep the confirmation email somewhere safe. The same settings page shows trial end dates, the next billing date and renewal amounts, so look again after cancelling to confirm that Alpha Picks no longer renews. The terms also accept a request by email to subscriptions@seekingalpha.com. ## If you bought it on an iPhone Alpha Picks appears in Apple's in-app purchase list at $499.00\. When Apple took the payment, Apple controls the subscription, so cancel through your Apple ID's subscription settings rather than on Seeking Alpha's website. ## What happens after you cancel - You can cancel at any moment. - It takes effect when the current billing cycle ends. - Access continues normally until then. - Nothing renews afterwards. - Payments already made are non-refundable unless agreed in writing. The 30-day money-back promise in Seeking Alpha's policy applies only to first-time annual Investing Group members, not to Alpha Picks. Details in [our refund policy guide](https://finpins.ghost.io/seeking-alpha-refund-policy/). ## Keeping Premium The knowledge base confirms the two products work independently, so stopping Alpha Picks does not affect Premium. The cancellation applies at renewal, and you keep full use of both until your current term ends. ## Bundle holders, read this The bundle help page states that renewals are charged at the then-current individual price of each product. After you drop Alpha Picks, Premium will renew at its own list price, $299 today, rather than any bundle rate. Check the renewal figure in account settings so it does not surprise you. ## Before you click: a short checklist **Your open positions.** Hold and Sell alerts stop when access ends. Decide now how you will monitor the picks you still own. Premium's quant ratings are one way; your own rules are another. **The fee versus your money.** On a large stock allocation, $449 to $499 is small. On a modest one it can outweigh any advantage. Our [value analysis](https://finpins.ghost.io/is-alpha-picks-worth-it/) works through examples. **Whether Premium alone is enough.** If you like the quant system but not the picks, Premium gives you ratings, grades and the screener for $269 in year one through our partner [Premium link](https://link.seekingalpha.com/459G29B/4G6SHH/). Compare the two in [Premium vs Alpha Picks](https://finpins.ghost.io/seeking-alpha-premium-vs-alpha-picks/). Keep the tools, drop the picks Premium: free for seven days, then $269 for twelve months via our link.

Put the renewal date in your calendar with a reminder two weeks earlier. ## Coming back You can rejoin at any time at whatever price applies then: $499 list today, or $449 through our [Alpha Picks offer](https://link.seekingalpha.com/459G29B/4HKP84/) as of October 2026\. Remember the one-free-trial-per-product rule. Thinking of returning later? List $499; our offer link showed $449 in October 2026.

Anything beyond the written policy is at the firm's discretion. ## Three members, three choices **The bundle owner.** Chris drops Alpha Picks, keeps Premium and checks that his renewal shows Premium's own price. **The patient canceller.** Ade waits until two weeks before renewal to use every day he paid for. **The iPhone buyer.** Lucy cancels in Apple's settings because Apple billed her. ## Related reading Leaving the platform entirely?

See [Alpha Picks performance](https://finpins.ghost.io/alpha-picks-performance/). ## Who should not cancel mid-term expecting a refund Anyone hoping to recover unused months. The policy will not return them, so use the access you have already paid for. ## Managing picks after access ends Once your membership lapses, you still own the shares you bought. Three approaches work. You can keep them as long-term holdings and review each quarterly like any other stock. You can set a simple rule, for example selling if a stock falls a fixed percentage below its high or if its business story changes. Or, if you keep Premium, you can watch each stock's quant rating and factor grades and act when they deteriorate, which roughly mirrors the alerts you were receiving. Whichever you choose, write the rule down before access ends, so emotion does not decide for you later. ## Tax timing If any positions are in a taxable account, check whether selling now or after a full year of ownership changes your tax bill. That decision is independent of the subscription, but cancellation is a natural moment to review it. ## Leaving feedback If you are leaving because of price or results, saying so to support can be useful; companies do track reasons for cancellation. ## Key takeaways - Cancelling takes minutes in account settings, or by email. - It stops renewal; it does not refund unused months. - Premium stays active if you have it, renewing at its own price. - iPhone purchases are cancelled through Apple. - Decide how you will manage remaining positions before access ends, and keep your confirmation email in case of any later billing question. If you might return, note that you can rejoin at whatever price applies at that time. ## FAQ ### Where do I cancel?
