How the stack builder works

Add the screeners, flow trackers, journals, backtesters and data feeds you use or are considering, and the builder adds up what they cost per month and per year.

Cost

Prices come from each vendor's own pricing page on the date shown next to the tool. Monthly totals use month-to-month prices where offered.

  • Yearly totals use a tool's verified annual price. Otherwise we estimate 12 × the monthly price and say so.
  • Free plans and free tiers count as $0.
  • Tools priced in another currency or sold as one-time purchases are listed but left out of the totals.

Coverage

Each tool is mapped to the needs it actually covers, across 12 options-trading needs: screening, unusual flow, volatility, earnings, strategy modeling, backtesting, journaling, market data, education, trade ideas, gamma exposure and brokerage.

  • Covered: the tool's own site lists the need as a main feature.
  • Partial: the need requires a higher plan, an add-on or a limited free version.
  • Overlap: two tools in your stack both cover the need, so you may be paying twice.
  • Gap: nothing in your stack does it. The builder suggests free tools for each gap, and cheaper or free alternatives for pricey picks that cover the same main need.

Saving and sharing

Your stack is saved only in the page link after the # sign, so you can bookmark it or copy the link to share it. Nothing is sent to us.

Prices as of 2026-11-09. Each price comes from the tool's own pricing page on the "price checked" date shown, in USD before tax. Totals use each tool's entry paid plan (or its free tier where you pick it). Commissions, data fees, add-ons and higher tiers aren't included. Coverage reflects the tool overall, so some needs require a higher plan ("partial"). Always confirm on the vendor's site before you buy. Not investment advice.
