I p$175 per year for the Premium level service. At the time I subscribed I also had a subscription to Investors Business Daily. They provide complementary services, but with a lot of overlap.

I primarily use them for stock advice and often find the two differ in their short term ratings. I like the Morningstar concept of wide moat - meaning a company that isn’t easily challenged in it’s field. I dropped IBD for cost and stayed with Morningstar because of consistent good long term recomendations

I’ve subscribed to MorningStar Premium for 5 or 6 years and am satisfied with it.
Selects undervalued stocks with entry points. Their writeup on the stock is very good. Estimates its intrinsic (fair) value), if it has a wide, narrow or no moat, bull and bear cases for/against the stock.
They have a free non-premium service on the web that you can sample.

The Morningstar premium service is a good place to get information on stocks you are thinking about purchasing. There is plenty of information on a wide variety of stocks and mutual funds. Sometimes there is too much info and their analysis is a little all over the place but still worth checking out. They do change their valuations quite often as well which could be a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for. All in all a good companion when you are doing your homework but I would’nt take their buy and sell entry and exit points too seriously.
