Benzinga Research Reviews 133

Benzinga team is fantastic. This is a great place with multitudes of tools available to learn options trading and long term investments.

I like to give special thanks to Rodrigo who always returns my calls and email. He also takes times to explain various products available at Benzinga and ready to help when you are needing guidance.

The currricullum and teaching methods are invaluable. Thank you Benzinga and keep up the great work.

Lucas Lovejoy is one of the best of all time

I've been a Benzinga user for over 5 years, and without a doubt, it has been the best investment I've made for my trading journey. The platform delivers consistent value, insightful analysis, and actionable ideas that have elevated my trading skills to a new level.

Special thanks to Rodrigo, whose customer service is nothing short of exceptional. He's always responsive, helpful, and genuinely cares about your success. It's rare to find that kind of dedication.

And of course, all the other analysts — and the live trading rooms are unmatched. Learned so much about trading, charting and market events from these live rooms

Benzinga isn't just a platform — it's a community and a powerful tool for anyone serious about trading. Highly recommended!

Benzinga.com is running what amounts to a bait-and-switch racket cloaked in financial jargon and false promises of wealth. I was lured in by their slick YouTube content and sales webinars, where so-called "experts" like Matt Maley, Nic Chahine, and Chris Capre hyped up fairy-tale trade returns of 100% to 2500%, with alleged win rates of 65% to 85%. They implied you could turn $250 trades into $9,500 in a year—all while flashing charts and using deceptive urgency tactics that would make used car salesmen blush.

Hook, line, and sinker—I subscribed to what I was told was a $79/year options education program that included trade ideas. What I actually got was a broken, half-assed, glorified PowerPoint course with less educational value than a 10-minute free YouTube video. It was disorganized, directionless, and clearly designed to funnel users into higher-ticket upsells rather than teach anything useful.

The moment I signed up, I was immediately ambushed with an “exclusive” $399 upsell for some other "incredible" service—one that turned out to be locked behind yet another paywall. To actually get the trades I was promised, I was told to pay another $29–$49/month, per service.

When I realized I’d been conned, I reached out to their support via chat, phone, and email to request a refund under their so-called ‘money-back guarantee’—only to discover that this, too, was a lie. They don’t give refunds. What they offer instead is "credit" toward more of their worthless garbage. It's like asking for a refund at a restaurant after food poisoning, and being told you can only get more spoiled food.

So I tried to salvage my loss by switching to a different service they offered. Big mistake. Their tech platform is comically broken, with non-functional tools, constant glitches, and system crashes—problems they've admitted were due to known hardware and software failures. They knowingly allowed paying customers to rely on a faulty trading system, all while ignoring support requests for months, only responding when threatened with complaints to the BBB and FTC.

But the most outrageous part? Following their advice has cost me over $10,000 since March. Their trade alerts are pure garbage—low-quality, lagging, poorly timed, and often completely wrong. I've lost money not just because the trades were bad, but because their broken system wouldn’t even execute orders properly at times. They knew about these technical issues for over a month, yet continued charging subscribers full price with no transparency, no apology, and no accountability.

After researching, I discovered I am far from alone. There are dozens—if not hundreds—of similar horror stories online. People losing thousands in subscription fees, then tens of thousands more following Benzinga's reckless trade ideas. It’s a predatory system designed not to educate or enrich the customer—but to bleed them dry, then sell them another course to "fix" the damage.

Let me be crystal clear:

Benzinga.com is running a scam.

They are engaging in deceptive advertising, fraudulent upselling, and negligent service delivery.

They are causing real financial harm to real people.

This company should be heavily fined, investigated for fraud, and ideally shut down permanently. Every dime they've stolen from hard-working consumers through deception and dysfunction should be refunded in full, with damages.

If you’re reading this and thinking about giving them a dollar—don’t. You’d be better off lighting your money on fire.

Lucas has been very helpful with Benzinga Pro and transitioning from Nic's inner circle.

The services are beyond awesome and you can get excellent support from Rodrigo who totally rocks man !! I got Benzinga lifetime and it’s making a huge difference in my trading !! The other team members I talked are also excellent , talk to Rodrigo and he can guide you and you’ll know what I mean - Team Benzinga rocks !!

I found that Benziga has tremendous integrity. I had a difficult situation when I originally signed up and believe that most companies would have found a loop hole and left me hanging, but Benzinga went the extra mile to help me and was good for their word. a special shout out of appreciation to Lucas!

I started with Benzinga Pro for my news source in Day Trading. As I progressed, I learned Benzinga also has an active group in chat while trading to interact while helping each other. I wanted to explore options and sat in on one of the weekly sessions with Matt and Nic. The vast amount of information they shared was incredible and overwhelming at the same time. This was when Rod explained the educational opportunities within Benzinga and learning from Matt, Nic and Cris. The call outs they provide allow you to immediately participate in trades which are easy to understand and if you don’t, help is there for you. If you want to become a better, more profitable trader, you should check it out.

After using several trading services over the years, I can confidently say that the Benzinga Stock & Options Picks with Matt Maley service has exceeded my expectations. Matt’s market insights are exceptional—his ability to explain the underlying forces driving price action has significantly improved both my short-term trading and long-term portfolio strategy. Rodrigo was super helpful in explaining the service and getting me set up.

The platform is intuitive and well-structured, making it easy to integrate into my daily routine. The chat room adds tremendous value, offering timely ideas, market analysis, and a sense of community that keeps me engaged and informed. This service has become an essential part of my trading toolkit, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their market approach.

Rodrigo has been very helpful and know him for a very long time. He is ready to help out all the time. The services from Matt and Cris are wonderful and help in understanding the process for each trade. Training classes are very good and easy to follow.

First, let me say I am a huge fan of Benzinga Pro. I shopped around and found everything in one place to day trade stocks. Then I decided to move on to options. Rodrigo walked me through everything. The amount of resources he shared and the mentors involved are like no others. I can’t say enough about Rod, Chris and Matt. If you want to learn or even if you are a pro. They can lead you to great trades and are great people.

Rod helped me when I became a member a year ago, and once again yesterday. If you ever have any questions or problems he's always quick to help. Great guy I'll always recommend Benzinga especially due to the way he's treated me.

Rodrigo has been a great help in getting me on the various programs with Benzinga and he is very knowledgeble about the products and very easy to work with. I am very interested in Nic's program s where it has really helped me in understanding options with his educational videos. Definitely reach out to Rodrigo if you are interested in joining any of the Benzinga programs

I bought a subscription from these guys, and I realized almost immediately that I had been duped by the hype about how great their product was. I filled out their cancelation form with a week per their policy and immediately received a huge number of emails ignoring my request and pressuring me trade up my subscription and send them more money. They obviously think we are all fools. Do yourself a favor. Avoid these people and save your money.

Rodrigo is great to work with. He was really flexible and understanding and willing to work with me. I am signing up for Benzinga Universe and expecting to learn a lot from this program. I already have the Matt Maley's Options program and I am learning a lot from it. Thank you Rodrigo. It is an exciting journey ahead.

Lucas quickly erased my annoyance at the series of joining and logging-on problems I was experiencing. Instead of canceling my membership, which had not been recorded by Benzinga, he helped me step through the process and showed me several of the benefits I'd be receiving thru my membership. Lucas was knowledgeable, quick, empathetic, and understanding. Thanks to him I became a new member.
He should be recognized,

Stan

I had some issues getting alerts but Benzinga worked hard to resolve all my issues.Thanks!

Many years ago I did the Benzinga Pro for a year. Then went a year without it. I had separation anxiety so I went with the lifetime Benzinga Pro.
Now, first thing in the morning my tv is tuned to one of their live you tube shows and I'm now hooked up with all the pros. I'm amazed at the time the pros are willing to spend with the groups. Super knowledgeable mentors. A big thanks to Rodrigo, I'll never try to go it alone again. Thank you Benzinga team.

The organization is stellar! Rodrigo and his team make sure they not only accommodate your needs, in terms of plans, arrangements and hardware needed, but exceed expectations in every aspect throughout the course. Always available, super reliable, very honest and trustworthy team! Outstanding experience since the beginning of the Stock and Options programs, thank you!
