Hi,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, we do not have any static number to give you as it is dynamic as per your usage.

We do notify the member of when they are close to reaching their limit and when they have reached their limit with the following banners:

If you want to keep reading past the limit, you can just go ahead and start your free two-week trial of Seeking Alpha Premium - no commitment required.

Premium, apart from providing you unlimited access to analysis articles also provides you with many other powerful tools that can help you with your investing. You can get an overview of the service here.


Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

Also, I would understand an explicitly stated limit, but this "dynamic article limit" is vague and the fact that it is different for different users is unethical.

So long! This is my 2nd account. I used to read lots of articles/comments and post my own in the areas I was expert in. No more. Great community building!

I registered yesterday and read one article on SA. Today I started to read another article and received a notification that I reached my limit. Does it mean that the free limit is one article or is it a temporary malfunction in SA system?

Same thing happened to me.  One article a year?

I heard authors got compensated for follows and comments.  Going to be a lot fewer of those going forward.

I liked reading the articles until somehow arriving at my free article limit. I have no idea what the limit is, and where it's explained in advance when subscribing. I won't be held hostage paying a premium fee. It's not worth it.

Dramatic much?  Nobody is holding you hostage.  Either pay and get to read or don’t pay and don’t read.
