Hey there. We definitely don't have to say anything negative about the Fool to explain the differences between the two platforms. We don't mind explaining the key differences.
So for one, both platforms offer a Q and A and stock picks for growth. This is pretty much where the similarities end.
And, this is one thing where we will discount the Fool a bit, but their Q and A is not nearly as active. In fact, you often don't get an answer from a Fool Member, mostly just other subscribers there.
In terms of stock picks, the Fool publishes one Canadian pick and one U.S. pick every month. We are one Canadian growth pick and one Canadian dividend pick. When the Fool recommends a stock, they make up a report and publish it. There is no updating. Our reports on stock suggestions on the other hand, get updated every single time a company reports earnings. So, at any point if you view one of our Bull List picks, it's no more than 3 months old.
Features we have over and above The Fool would be our Growth Stock Screener, Dividend Safety Screener, our Model Portfolios, our Premium Content, and our IPO Centre.
In fact, the Motley Fool in the U.S. has separate subscriptions for its model portfolios, its dividend picks, its growth picks, and its IPO center. All of which would total more than $1000 in annual subscriptions.
If you were to ask me to sum it up in a single sentence however, my answer would be this.
The Motley Fool provides stock picks twice a month, while we are a complete investment toolkit for Canadians.
