I'm using Gurufocus for years and I'm happy with the service, content and support. You can find lots of data and use it according to your needs or just benefit from the analytics, comments, reports. I agree that price is little high based on just one region and query quotas create a problem, but all in all, it worths it.

*********Edit*********** You can see below how the company responds to genuine experiences: defensively and with harassment, and by flagging my review as not genuine unless I provide additional private data. To the company I say, go find your own errors! It's easy, all you need to do is pick a company and compare it to the financial statements! I have no interest in a free membership. I prefer that you just left me alone! *****original review******* The company is selling data that are free (from publicly available financial reports) at a price that costs 100 times its fair value for aggregating and presenting it. Furthermore, from the 5 companies I checked, 5 of them had errors in the data (compared against the financial reports), where the wrong numbers had been copied from the reports. 3 of the 5 used a different unit of measure within the same row (for example, when measuring total assets, it would go from $999,999 to $1.0M), which screws up analysis and strips the larger numbers of data due to the massive rounding. Pricing structure? Pay PER REGION and if there are any delisted companies there, now you're paying an additional membership for that. To get access to the 5 companies I needed, I had to join a trial that cost over $2000 across two regions and two membership options (to get access to that "delisted" company). For FREE data! If it were $20 for all the data in the dataset it might be worth it, but for that price, I expect perfect data, zero errors, lots of depth. Then, if you want to cancel the trial, there is no cancel button. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in the UK and Europe. You have to email them and request the cancellation, while they try to convince you to stay. No "close account" button (pretty sure that's illegal, too). Overall, I can't imagine who this would have value for. You can get all the data from the companies directly going back as far as you like for free and aggregate it. You could go on a freelancing website, dump all the reports on them and ask some random person to compile it all for you, if you wanted, and it would still be a fraction of this cost.

The staff guided me through the many possibilities of GuruFocus, and answered my questions in an adequate way.

i recommand

I found that having emailed my questions through made it more effective for the session because James was able to go straight to my issues with a full understanding of what I was asking. I found the session to be extremely informative and look forward to implementing our discussion.
