Key differences
Crypto coverage
FlashAlpha covers CME bitcoin and ether futures and lists no crypto-exchange options. GammaFlip combines BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and HYPE options from Deribit, Bybit, OKX, Derive and Binance into one profile.
US coverage and dealer model
FlashAlpha covers more than 6,000 US equities and ETFs plus indices and CME futures, and its Alpha plan signs dealer gamma from the day's classified trades instead of an open-interest assumption. GammaFlip covers 17 US tickers and uses the standard convention, documented in its methodology.
What the price includes
FlashAlpha's Basic plan ($79/month, 250 requests a day) gives GEX for one expiration at a time; full-chain GEX starts with Growth at $299/month, and historical data with Alpha at $1,499/month. Every GammaFlip plan includes full-chain levels, the REST API (500 requests a day) with daily history files and the Claude and ChatGPT connector.
MCP and alerts
Both run a hosted MCP server. FlashAlpha's has 78 tools and lists Claude, Cursor and Grok among its clients; GammaFlip's connector works in Claude and ChatGPT. FlashAlpha has no alert product and suggests building alerts on its API; GammaFlip sends Telegram messages when price crosses the gamma flip.
