Questions

Can Bloom help me research a stock before I buy?

Start with a company or a question. Bloom brings together stock research, financial data, and news so you can look into the business and the risks. Try asking, "What should I check before buying this stock?"

What does a research example look like?

Take Apple: did higher sales turn into more cash? In a September 22, 2026 check, Bloom's financial-data tools returned annual revenue of $391.0 billion for fiscal 2024 and $416.2 billion for fiscal 2025. Free cash flow went the other way: $108.8 billion to $98.8 billion.

We checked those figures against Apple's 2025 annual report, which includes both years. Here, free cash flow means operating cash flow minus purchases of property, plant, and equipment. For 2025, that is $111.482 billion minus $12.715 billion.

The next question is why cash flow fell while revenue grew. That gives you something specific to investigate in the cash-flow statement. This is a historical worked example, not a recommendation or a current stock valuation.

Can it help me understand my portfolio?

Track performance, review your holdings, and ask questions about your portfolio. You can upload a screenshot for analysis or connect a supported brokerage through Plaid. Brokerage availability depends on your institution. Connecting and manually syncing are free; automatic daily syncing requires Pro.

What if I'm new to investing?

Start with the question you have. Ask what a financial term means, how a company makes money, or why a stock moved. You can ask follow-up questions whenever an answer needs more explanation.

What can I use for free, and what does Pro add?

The free app includes stock research, a watchlist, portfolio tools, and limited AI chats using the default model. You can connect a supported brokerage and refresh it manually.

Pro adds access to premium chat models, automatic daily brokerage syncing, and unlimited market briefs. Some research views offer a free preview and require Pro for the full detail. Check the upgrade screen for the features included in your version.

How much does Bloom Pro cost?

As of September 23, 2026, approved US iPhone subscription prices are $103.99 per year or $5 per week. These are separate billing plans, not weekly installments of an annual plan.

Prices and available plans can differ by country, platform, and offer. Your checkout shows the price and renewal terms that apply to you. See the App Store listing or Google Play listing.

Is there a free trial, and how do I cancel?

An eligible annual offer may include a free trial. Check its length and the renewal price at checkout; a trial is not available with every plan or for every subscriber.

Cancel through the provider that billed you: Apple subscriptions or Google Play subscriptions. Follow the cancellation deadline shown with your offer to avoid the next charge. Deleting Bloom does not cancel a subscription. For help finding a purchase, email eric@investwithbloom.com.

Where does the information come from, and how current is it?

Bloom combines financial data, company reports, and news with AI-assisted analysis. Its integrations include Alpha Vantage for financial statements and earnings transcripts, EOD Historical Data for market data, and Benzinga for news and explanations of price moves.

Freshness depends on the source and data type. A quote, a news story, and an annual filing have different update schedules; not every figure is real-time. Check timestamps and linked source material. If an AI answer does not show enough evidence, ask for the source and verify it before acting.

Which markets does Bloom cover?

Bloom covers US markets and selected international listings. Available prices, financial statements, news, and research vary by symbol and provider. Support for a ticker does not mean every data field is available. Search for the company in the app to check its coverage.

How is Bloom different from ChatGPT for stock research?

Bloom puts stock research, a watchlist, portfolio tracking, and financial-data tools in one investing app. You can move from looking at a holding to asking a question about it.

ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant that can also search the web and cite sources. It can help explain concepts and analyze information you provide. The practical difference is Bloom's investing workflow and built-in financial tools, not a promise that its AI is always more accurate. Verify important claims in either product.

Will Bloom tell me what to buy or place a trade?

You can ask Bloom to analyze an investment idea and explain its reasoning. Treat the answer as a starting point for research. AI can get things wrong, and an answer cannot guarantee an investment's performance.

Brokerage connections bring holdings into Bloom. Trading links take you to your broker, where you review and place the order. Asking a question here does not place a trade.

Who makes Bloom, and where can I find the official accounts?

Bloom: AI for Investing is made by Bloom Investing LLC. Check that seller name on the app listing to distinguish it from other products named Bloom.
