SpotGamma vs Profit Builders.
Two different lenses on the same tape. SpotGamma reads dealer positioning — where market makers must hedge. Profit Builders reads whale prints — what institutions are actually buying.
Side by side.
When each tool wins.
You're macro-positioning around dealer flow. You care about gamma walls, vol regime, charm/vanna effects, and you want HIRO's intraday models. SpotGamma is the deepest dedicated GEX product.
You want both gamma context AND the actual whale prints — graded — for half the price of SpotGamma Alpha. Or you only need GEX, in which case Profit Builders' $39 standalone undercuts SpotGamma Essential by 60%.
Questions.
How does SpotGamma differ from Profit Builders?
SpotGamma grades dealer positioning — where market makers will hedge, where gamma walls form. Profit Builders grades whale prints — the actual large bets institutions place. Different reads on the same tape.
Is SpotGamma worth $299?
If your edge is macro-gamma positioning, yes. SpotGamma Alpha includes HIRO, Equity Hub, and the deepest dealer-flow models in the category. If you also want live whale prints, you'd add another tool.
What are SpotGamma's subscription tiers?
Standard $89/mo, Essential $99/mo, and Alpha $299/mo (plus an Institutional tier from ~$1,999). Standard and Essential both include the core dealer-gamma tools (HIRO, Equity Hub); Alpha adds the Synthetic OI Lens and targets intraday traders. This comparison uses Alpha as the top tier and the $89 Standard plan as the entry.
Does SpotGamma offer a free trial?
No free trial on either Essential or Alpha. Profit Builders offers 7 days free on every tier.
Can I get just GEX from Profit Builders?
Yes — Profit Builders' GEX Heatmap is a $39/mo standalone. That's 56% cheaper than SpotGamma's entry Standard tier ($89) and covers 220 symbols.
Do they overlap?
On the GEX/dealer-gamma side, yes. On whale-print scanning, only Profit Builders. The Pro Bundle ($129) covers both at less than half of SpotGamma Alpha.
Different jobs at different prices. SpotGamma Alpha is the macro-gamma tool of record at $299. Profit Builders' Pro Bundle covers gamma + live whale prints + grading + a public log for $129. If you want both lenses, the math leans hard toward Profit Builders.
