Why traders look for an alternative
Price is the usual reason. SpotGamma's Standard plan is $89 a month, about $67 billed yearly, and its higher tiers cost more. Traders who mainly want the levels, call wall, put wall and zero gamma, often do not need the research notes that justify that price.
Coverage is the other. Traders who focus on single stocks rather than SPX want gamma by strike for the names they trade.
The alternatives
Obelion: free gamma exposure by strike for major indices, ETFs and stocks, plus free options chains, max pain and implied volatility. Paid plans add a full charting platform, at $20 or $45 a month. No daily written research.
Unusual Whales: from $50 a month. Options flow first, with GEX views on paid tiers.
MenthorQ: from $129 a month. Gamma levels built for TradingView charts.
What you give up leaving SpotGamma: its daily research notes and its proprietary index models. If those are why you subscribe, stay. If you mainly read the levels, a cheaper tool covers it.
We make Obelion, so weigh our view accordingly.
