Weiss Ratings Plus Alternatives: Free Options, Cost and Scam Checks

posted on October 9, 2026

Last updated 15 October 2026

Weiss Ratings Plus is a paid stock-rating subscription from Weiss Ratings. The seller describes it as a data-driven investment tool. The sales text does not name the AI stocks it mentions. Weiss’s terms say it does not give individual investment advice, so for specific investing decisions the option the terms point to is a personal adviser or broker you choose. For money you may already be owed, your state’s unclaimed property office is a free place to start.

Disclosure: Plainly, affiliate links appear on this page. We may earn a commission when you buy through these links. It does not add to the price you pay.

Which stocks does Weiss Ratings recommend, and what is the No. 1 pick?

The sales page promotes Weiss as a top-ranked stock ratings system and says it will name AI stocks it expects to surge in 2026. Those names are not in the sales text.

Weiss’s terms say it does not give individual investment advice to subscribers, and that specific recommendations are made by a personal adviser or broker you select. So no single stock is named here as the No. 1 buy, and none is named as the best place to put $1,000 right now. The sales page’s AI forecast is the seller’s own prediction, not a named pick you can check.

On the $3,000 a month question: that is $36,000 a year. Work out the yearly income you want, then ask an adviser what return rate that would require.

Is Weiss Ratings Plus any good?

The seller says the product gives you ratings, data tools and stock ideas. Before you decide, check these points.

Point What it means for you
Investing involves risk of loss Only put in money you can afford to lose without harming your daily life or long-term plans.
Returns the seller shows Ask which stocks and which method produced any return figure, and ask for the answer in writing.
AI stock names Ask the seller for the names before you pay.
Your own return target Work out the return your yearly income goal would need, then ask an adviser to check it.

Free and low-cost alternatives to a paid rating subscription

Weiss’s terms point to four alternatives that work differently.

Option Cost What it gives you
Weiss Ratings Plus Subscription; price not verified by this publication. Check the seller’s current pricing before you buy. Ratings, data tools and stock picks, which the seller says it provides.
Personal adviser or broker you select The terms do not state the cost. Ask for the fee in writing before you sign anything. Specific recommendations for your finances, which the terms say only this kind of professional can make.
Securities and Exchange Commission website No cost stated in the terms General information on prudent investing, which the terms direct readers to. See Securities and Exchange Commission website.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority website No cost stated in the terms General information on prudent investing, also named in the terms. See FINRA investor website.
Short-term U.S. Treasury securities or equivalent Cost not stated in the terms. Ask your broker. A conservative choice for money you need to keep safe.

For money you need to keep safe, short-term U.S. Treasury securities or equivalent are one conservative choice. Compare that with what an adviser says about your situation.

Before you pay: cancellation and refunds

Renewal, cancellation and refund rules can differ by product category and initial term of service. Read the section for the exact product you are buying before you pay.

To cancel or ask for a refund, use the contact page on the seller’s site and ask for the cancellation or refund in writing. The seller lists a mailing address on that page too.

For the same kind of buyer checks on other products, see the Power Pro Genius review vs common alternatives and the SodaSlim review: what Americans should know.

How do I find out what money is in my name?

Start with your state. Search your state’s unclaimed property office, and check the offices of any state where you have lived. For money from federal sources, the USAGov unclaimed money guide lists the databases below.

Money from Where USAGov says to look
Unpaid wages from an employer Department of Labor database
Pension from a former employer Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation search tool
VA life insurance for veterans Department of Veterans Affairs database
FHA mortgage insurance refund HUD database, if the mortgage was FHA-insured
Tax refund you have not received IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool
SEC investment enforcement case SEC database
Closed bank or credit union FDIC database for banks; USAGov lists the credit union search
Matured savings bonds TreasuryHunt.gov
Bankruptcy U.S. Courts Unclaimed Funds Locator
Individual Indian Money accounts Bureau of Trust Funds Administration Whereabouts Unknown tool

How can I search for unclaimed money for free in my state?

Each state runs its own search, so start with the office for the state where you lived. Here is what several state offices say about theirs.

State What the office says Office
New York The office runs a search for unclaimed funds and a claim process. Check its site for current fees and deadlines. New York unclaimed funds office
Maryland The site has a property search, an online claim form and a Check Claim Status tool. Maryland unclaimed property site
Virginia The site has a search for unclaimed property that starts a claim, and a claim status check for claims you have filed. Virginia unclaimed property site
Washington The site offers a search and a claim process. Some funds return through its Money Match Program with no action from you. Washington unclaimed property site
North Carolina You must search before filling out the online claim form. NCCash unclaimed property site

For Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Florida, start with each state’s unclaimed property office. Search with your name, and ask the office whether searching and claiming are free before you give any personal details. For how long Florida holds a particular account, ask the Florida office directly.

If a search site asks you to pay before it shows any results, stop and go to your state’s office instead.

Before you order: questions to ask

  • Ask Weiss Ratings for the names of the AI stocks its sales page mentions, and how it measured any return figure it shows.
  • Check the price, renewal date and cancellation rules at checkout, and read the refund section for your product.
  • Ask any adviser or broker for the fee in writing before you sign.
