An alternative to SpotGamma and Unusual Whales? Prices compared, and what each platform covers

You want gamma levels, options flow and Fed liquidity, and each one sits on a separate platform with a separate subscription.

Here are those platforms' prices as they publish them, with sources, then what Finviro covers of each layer in one subscription.

The short answer

Is there an alternative to SpotGamma and Unusual Whales?
Finviro covers the same five layers (gamma levels, options flow, macro liquidity, volatility tools and market breadth) in one subscription at $89 a month. The specialist platforms sell them separately for $253 to $318 a month combined, by their published prices.
How much do gamma and options flow platforms cost?
By their published pricing pages: gamma levels 99–$129 a month, options flow 50–$85, and macro liquidity $25. The sources are linked under the table.

Why one plan replaces four subscriptions

Each of these data layers has a US platform that sells it on its own. This is what it costs to assemble them, and what Finviro gives you linked into one read.

What you get in Finviro for each layer

Each layer in the table above, and its tools on the platform with what each tool reads.

Gamma levels and dealer walls

  • Gamma levels: market maker positioning for every covered symbol: the walls, the gamma flip and the gamma exposure profile across strikes.
  • SPY card: the broad market index: gamma flip, call and put walls, implied volatility, flow and layer agreement.
  • Squeeze potential: symbols where the gap between the two options walls has narrowed · where a breakout turns sharp.

Options flow and unusual contracts

  • Unusual flow: large contracts spotted in real time: where institutional money is placing its bets now · after reading positioning (SPY card and gamma levels).
  • Net flow: net call premium minus put premium through the session: is the direction turning?
  • Most active stocks: Symbols that drew the most premium today, ranked by money, not by contract count.
  • Trade radar: medium-dated contracts scored by the Greeks and gamma structure, and trades the system tracks to the close with their results.

Fed net liquidity and Treasury auctions

  • Financial conditions: three gauges of money availability: net liquidity, funding stress and credit appetite · summed up as supportive, mixed or tight.
  • Market regime and yields: the macro regime, its confidence and direction, the yield curve, the volatility premium and its term structure.
  • Funding and global markets: global funding rates, regional markets, gold, the oil channel and the dollar, Treasury auctions and the liquidity calendar.
  • Treasury flow: Treasury auctions, coupons and its general account: how much liquidity they drain this week, and how much they actually moved the market.
  • Recession risk: the yield curve, employment and output · lagging indicators, but the reference.

Volatility tools and premium

  • Options table: options chain structure: implied volatility, its skew and open interest at each strike.
  • Pricing and volatility calculator: Black-Scholes pricing with the full Greeks and the effect of implied volatility · computed in your browser.
  • Quant analysis: quantitative indicators for one symbol: volatility, momentum and skew · measurement, not opinion.

Market breadth and screeners

  • Stock screener: find a symbol, then study it in one place: filters and moving averages, and the technical terminal with its ten timeframes and gamma layer.
  • Sector heat map: sectors by performance and market breadth: where money rotated today, and whether the rally is broad or carried by a few names.
  • Sector rotation: relative strength and its momentum for each sector: who leads, who lags, and where money is moving.

When does a specialist platform suit you better than us?

  • If you need only one layer in more depth, such as options flow tick by tick all day, the platform that specialises in that layer may serve you better.
  • If having every layer in one place doesn't matter to you, the difference for you is price alone.
  • And if you want all five layers together, with every term explained the first time it appears, that is what Finviro was built for.

Try before you decide: the trial is free, opens every symbol, and needs no card.
