Reliability of free data

Been doing a lot of stock modeling lately and am just wondering the value of the data that I am using. I typically take my data from yahoo finance and seeking alpha but there is no way for me to test to see if it’s reliable. Obviously can’t afford a Bloomberg terminal or anything like that so I was wondering what the consensus on free/ cheap data was

Do you think the fundamental data provided by free services is reliability and is what is stated in the 10k and 10q. As I am analyzing many stocks per day, I don’t really have time to look through that many company filings. It is much faster to pull the data from somewhere such as yahoo finance.
