Hedge fund analysts don't beat you because they're smarter. They beat you because they have systems you've never been able to access. Barebone rebuilds those systems as AI agents. Ask one question and a team of analysts researches the company, the chart, the risk, and the smart money in seconds, not hours.

The edge was always theirs. Now it's yours.

Unlock unlimited research, full smart-money tracking (Congress, insiders, super investors), the 5-analyst portfolio review, and AI-scored news. Free to start.

HOW BAREBONE IS DIFFERENT
A chatbot makes things up and can't see live filings or your portfolio. A trading app places orders but won't tell you what's worth doing. Barebone does the institutional research and the monitoring, then leaves the decision to you. No conflict, no order flow, no noise.

IMPORTANT
Barebone is a research and education tool. It does not provide investment, financial, or legal advice and does not execute trades. AI output can contain errors. Always verify and make your own decisions.

SUBSCRIPTION

Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or turn off auto-renew anytime in account settings under Manage Subscription. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited on purchase.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-08-03*

I did not find much value in this app but my yearly subscription got triggered. I raised a ticket to change it to monthly plan so that i can pay for a month and then cancel it but they say it’s not possible. I am disappointed with service

**Developer response:** Hi Rg5625, thanks for the feedback and sorry the outcome was frustrating. As we shared over email when you first reached out in June, Barebone subscriptions are billed and managed entirely by Apple, so we're unable to switch or refund plans on our side, and we included the steps to change plans through iPhone Settings. Since a plan switch only takes effect after the current billing period ends, the best path for your situation is a refund request directly with Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple is usually responsive to these. We've followed up by email as well and are happy to help further.

### 3/5 — Work on Wall St - been demoing 10s of these - so much potential could be the best

*2026-07-20*

The lack of brokerage connections, and I don’t have access to manual csv uploads, and lack of liability tracking is absurd. Should not have shipped this out so half baked. This was by far the best ai analytics tool I used until I realized how limited I was. Astor and Origin fill in these gaps. So much potential, shipped half baked. How hard is a Plaid, yodlee, etc integration everyone else can

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the detailed feedback, this is exactly the kind of input that shapes our roadmap. Brokerage connections are something we're actively working on expanding, and it's a top priority for us. In the meantime, if your brokerage doesn't offer CSV exports, you can upload screenshots or images of your portfolio and Barebone will read the positions in from there. On liability tracking, our focus is on being the best tool for stock and portfolio analysis rather than a full net worth tracker, so debts and loans are outside what we're building right now. We'd love to hear more about your setup, feel free to reach us at team@barebone.ai.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend for all

*2026-07-19*

Great interface and easy to navigate! Useful for both investors and people trying just to learn more about finance! Highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Great app, support slightly lacking

*2026-07-11*

Great app, slack communication from the app devs but can’t fault the tools - much better than most tools I’ve used (esp for the price).

### 5/5 — Highest quality and useful

*2026-06-29*

Very informative and well built app for investing, it saves tons of the time you would spend of manual research. Using it everyday.

For developers: I would be happy to see the possibility of API integration. There is a high deficit of high quality products  like AI with massive data RAG (I know only Octagon AI) while I am pretty sure that Barebone AI would better solution if API integration would be realized.

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2026-05-17*

Hey, I have been using the app and just wanted to give you some feedback regarding the portfolio tab, I love the app overall but it would be nice to have a option to add a second portfolio for example in my case I would use one on my own saving and one for managing my family’s savings.

**Developer response:** Hi Wheepy3, thanks so much for the kind words and the thoughtful feedback! Supporting multiple portfolios (e.g. personal vs. family) is something we have on our roadmap, and we'll pass this along to the engineering team to help prioritize it. In the meantime, we're also currently testing a beta feature that lets you import your portfolio directly from supported brokerages ( aiming for full release in June), it's not quite the same as having a second portfolio, but it might be useful to you as we keep building toward that. Stay tuned, and thanks again for using Barebone!

### 5/5 — Great but when can I connect directly to my brokerage account?

*2026-04-23*

I don’t want to manually edit my holdings. When will this be automated??

**Developer response:** Hi s.leit, thanks for the support and for raising this. We understand that manual entry isn't ideal. Good news: we're currently testing a beta feature that lets you connect and import your holdings directly from supported brokerages, which should solve exactly what you're asking about. We're aiming for a full release in June, so it's right around the corner. Appreciate your patience, and thanks for being part of Barebone!

### 2/5 — Do not recommend

*2026-04-07*

I’ve been using Barebone for about a month now, it started off decent with consistent updates on news, driving factors breaking down why it was either bearish or bullish. When you chat with it, over time it contradicts itself heaps based on what you say, it sometimes completely ignores what you are saying. Keeping everything in one chat is difficult because you have to scroll to the bottom to see what response it has given you rather than starting from the bottom.

**Developer response:** Thanks for a solid month with Barebone and for the detailed feedback. Glad the consistent news updates and bearish/bullish driver breakdowns have been useful. 

A quick tip for our AI investment agent: splitting different topics into separate chats keeps context lean and performance sharp, though we hear you and are working hard to improve chat consistency. 

On scroll-to-bottom, we agree and will be shipping that fix this week. Reach out anytime at team@barebone.ai.

### 2/5 — Half Baked

*2026-03-26, version 1.0.69*

Functionally it's a great app. It's just that I feel like it's half-baked. If you're centered around AI there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to upload your own portfolio as a CSV OR take a picture of it instead of inputting it manually. 
Easy update, zero reason this shouldn’t be a basic feature. If you’re going to charge people for the app for AI features, bring it up to 2026…

### 4/5 — Great app- urgent bug

*2026-03-15*

Love what you’re doing in the space! App is great. Do have a  bug where by can’t use decimals when adding to my portfolio cost per share. Only allowing whole numbers which  Throws out its effectivness with cheaper stocks

**Developer response:** Hi GooseRSA, Thank you for the feedback, love that you're enjoying the app! We just checked into the issue you mentioned about not being able to use decimals when adding cost per share, and we wanted to let you know that decimal inputs are actually supported in the portfolio section. That said, if you're running into any issues, there might be a specific scenario we need to look into. To help us investigate further, could you drop us a quick note at team@barebone.ai with a few more details, maybe a screenshot or the exact steps where it’s happening? That way, we can get it sorted for you ASAP. Also, we’re working on a portfolio import feature that would make the entire process a lot smoother, and it’ll be rolling out very soon! Thanks again for your support and for being part of the journey.
