Yahoo Finance Plus

Verdict

Yahoo Finance Plus is paid market-news / research / data software — the Bronze / Silver / Gold subscription layer on top of the free Yahoo Finance portal. Official pages at finance.yahoo.com/plus/, select-plan, and compare-plans describe Plus seats. The free portal is reviewed separately at Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance Plus is not a broker, not a custody account, not a separate invented “Pro” SKU on this directory, and not a source of investment advice from Find Trading Tools.

Authoritative standing monthly / annual dollars (select-plan JSON-LD + cards; also cite compare-plans, captured 2026-09-10):

Plan	Monthly	Annual	Annual effective
Plus Bronze	$9.95/mo	$95.40/yr	~$7.95/mo
Plus Silver	$24.95/mo	$239.40/yr	~$19.95/mo
Plus Gold	$49.95/mo	$479.40/yr	~$39.95/mo

Browser capture 2026-09-10 confirmed the same standing ladder in page JSON-LD (Yahoo Finance Plus Bronze / Silver / Gold — Monthly / Annual) and on select-plan cards. Prefer select-plan + compare-plans USD. Annual effective ~$7.95 / ~$19.95 / ~$39.95 are displays / equivalents, not separate SKUs in offers[].

Body only — not typed into offers[].

• Gold 7-day free trial. Select-plan Gold CTA: Start 7 day free trial; “To avoid charges, cancel before the trial ends.”
• Bronze first-year config strings sometimes shown in page config: monthly $6.95/mo for the first year, then $9.95/mo; yearly billed $66.60 for first year, then $95.40/yr thereafter. These are not standing offers.

Cancel / refund / payment (official FAQ on select-plan / compare-plans). Cancel anytime (web My Subscriptions or app-store manage path). Generally no refunds; access continues through the paid period. Refunds are only described as available after automatic renewal of annual plans within 14 calendar days after the annual renewal payment. Payment options FAQ: US bank-issued debit and credit cards from Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Auto-renew at end of billing cycle unless canceled.

Reject as standing. Third-party mashups; invented “Yahoo Finance Pro” prices; CAD / App Store conversions as standing USD; Bronze first-year $6.95 / $66.60 and Gold trial as typed offers[]; annual effective ~$7.95 / ~$19.95 / ~$39.95 as separate SKUs.

Stock picks, Morningstar ratings, research reports, AlphaSpace, and related Plus marketing are vendor research / tools — not recommendations or advice from Find Trading Tools.

This is a directory listing of news / research software, not a brokerage comparison, not a signal service from FTT, and not financial advice. Do not treat this page as a how-to for placing trades.

We are not saying Yahoo Finance Plus is the best paid research layer, the best news product, or the best purchase. We do not invent star ratings. We are not saying Bronze, Silver, Gold, stock picks, or AlphaSpace will make a strategy profitable.

Best for

• Paid Plus research / news / portfolio tools as the primary job. Official product story centers Bronze / Silver / Gold upgrades on Yahoo Finance — not a broker and not a Free-only portal review.
• Bronze at $9.95/mo or $95.40/yr when you want premium portfolio / ad-free / 24/7 support marketing on top of Free (Help: everything in Free plus returns and risk analysis, subscriber-only newsletter, unlimited custom price alerts, community sentiment, ad-free + 24/7 account support).
• Silver at $24.95/mo or $239.40/yr when you want research reports + stock picks, Morningstar stock ratings, fair value / dividend analysis scores, model portfolio strategies, FT / MT Newswires premium news, and bank-grade real-time newsfeed marketing (Help: everything in Bronze).
• Gold at $49.95/mo or $479.40/yr when you want AlphaSpace, 40+ years of downloadable data, smart charts / screeners, and related Gold marketing (Help: everything in Silver) — including the published 7-day free trial on-ramp (body only).
• Cross-checking Free vs Plus without ranking — Free $0 lives on Yahoo Finance.

That is a fit for investors who want paid news / research software as an input. It is not a claim that any plan improves results.

Skip if

• You want Yahoo Finance Plus to be the broker. It is not. Do not treat this page as a brokerage comparison or a how-to for placing trades.
• Free $0 is enough. Use Yahoo Finance — this page is the paid Plus layer only.
• You assumed stock picks / Morningstar / research reports are recommendations from this directory. They are not. Those are vendor surfaces — not FTT advice.
• You expected an invented “Yahoo Finance Pro” SKU. Rejected — standing paid seats are Plus Bronze / Silver / Gold only.
• You need verified CAD billing or TFSA/RRSP treatment. Plus is Help-offered in the US and Canada; list prices are USD; CAD billing remains unverified; payment FAQ stresses US bank-issued cards — see Canada note.
• You treated Bronze first-year $6.95 / $66.60 or the Gold 7-day trial as standing offers[]. Body only — not standing.
• Your primary job is a different paid news terminal or Quant ratings media first. Neighbors: Benzinga Pro, Seeking Alpha, MarketWatch. Different jobs: not a ranking.

How it works

1. Compare Free vs Plus. Start from Free $0 on Yahoo Finance / finance.yahoo.com, or open select-plan / compare-plans for Plus Bronze / Silver / Gold.
2. Pick a Plus seat. Choose Bronze $9.95/mo or $95.40/yr, Silver $24.95/mo or $239.40/yr, or Gold $49.95/mo or $479.40/yr — or start the published Gold 7-day free trial if eligible (body only).
3. Research. Use premium news, ratings, reports, portfolio tools, and AlphaSpace as research inputs — not as FTT recommendations.
4. Manage renewals. Plans auto-renew at the end of the billing cycle unless canceled; cancel anytime via My Subscriptions (web) or the app store path if purchased in-app. Official FAQ: generally no refunds (annual-renewal 14-day exception as published).

Pros and cons

Sourced from official select-plan, compare-plans, and Help select-plans / exchanges / get-started pages listed under Sources. We do not invent affiliate URLs or publish third-party mashups as standing offers.

Pros

• Clear standing ladder: Bronze $9.95/mo / $95.40/yr; Silver $24.95/mo / $239.40/yr; Gold $49.95/mo / $479.40/yr (2026-09-10 browser capture + JSON-LD).
• Published Gold 7-day free trial and occasional Bronze first-year config strings are documented as body-only — not confused with standing offers[].
• Official Help names concrete Bronze / Silver / Gold surfaces (portfolio analytics; Morningstar / research / newsfeed; AlphaSpace + long history).
• Free vs Plus split is explicit across two directory listings — no Free+Plus mashup in one offers[].
• Product job is explicit: paid news / research layer — not sold here as a broker or as FTT advice.

Cons

• Not a broker; picks / ratings / reports / AlphaSpace are not FTT recommendations and do not guarantee profits.
• Official FAQ: generally no refunds (narrow annual-renewal window only).
• Payment FAQ stresses US bank-issued cards — important for Canadian readers even though Plus is Help-offered in the US and Canada.
• CAD billing remains unverified; list prices are USD.
• Bronze first-year $6.95 / $66.60 strings are easy to confuse with standing — kept body-only here.
• Third-party mashups and invented “Pro” / CAD stickers are easy to confuse with standing prices — this directory keeps official Plus USD only.
• No FTT affiliate URL yet — CTAs go to the official Plus homepage.

MarketWatch is market-news + quotes first. None of those rows is a recommendation to switch, and none is a claim that Yahoo Finance Plus wins the job.

Canada note

This directory is written with readers in Canada as well as the United States.

Plus offered in the US and Canada (Help). Help (Exchanges and data providers) states Select Yahoo Finance Subscription Plans (offered in the US and Canada only).

List prices USD; CAD billing unverified. Standing Plus dollars on select-plan / compare-plans are published in USD. Whether checkout bills CAD is unverified. Do not treat CAD App Store stickers or converted dollars as standing offers.

US bank-issued cards stressed (payment FAQ). Official select-plan / compare-plans FAQ: accepted payment methods are US bank-issued debit and credit cards from Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Canadian readers should treat that FAQ as a hard payment constraint until Yahoo publishes a broader card list.

Inter-listed premium data note (Help). Help (Get started with your upgraded Yahoo Finance plan): Canadian users — premium data for securities listed on both US and Canadian exchanges is currently available only through the US listing.

TFSA / RRSP unverified. Registered-account constraints and Canadian tax treatment of trades are outside this review and remain unverified as product behavior.

Named Canadian-broker integrations are unverified.

Many people use research software in one tab and a broker in another — that is two separate products, not a verified Canadian integration.
