OptionsDeck vs SpotGamma: GEX Plus Everything Else

If you're paying for dealer gamma alone, you're missing the rest of the stack.

OptionsDeck Research 1 min readUpdated May 15, 2026

SpotGamma popularized dealer gamma exposure for the retail audience and remains the reference point for GEX analysis. OptionsDeck ships an equivalent GEX dashboard — same SqueezeMetrics convention, same gamma flip, same call/put wall ranking — bundled with the rest of an options intelligence terminal.

Where SpotGamma wins

SpotGamma's value-add is the daily HIRO/HEAT commentary and the institutional research voice. If you primarily want a daily macro view on dealer positioning written by an analyst, that's their product.

Where OptionsDeck wins

If you want to operate — pull up GEX, see live flow at the walls, generate an AI idea that incorporates both, snap it to greek-optimal contracts, track it with auto-alerts — OptionsDeck does the entire workflow under one subscription for $50/mo more than SpotGamma's GEX-only price.

Frequently asked questions

Does OptionsDeck compute GEX the same way as SpotGamma?

Both use the SqueezeMetrics convention (dealers long calls, short puts) applied to the full options chain. The math is the same. OptionsDeck's GEX dashboard updates every 30 seconds during the cash session, displays strike-level histograms, gamma flip, top 5 call walls, and top 5 put walls.

Is OptionsDeck's GEX standalone or bundled?

Bundled. The Pro plan ($149/mo) includes the GEX dashboard alongside the flow scanner, vol surface, AI strategist, multi-leg strategy builder, backtester, journal, risk dashboard, watchlists, and alerts. SpotGamma is a standalone GEX service starting around $99/mo.

Do you cover the same tickers?

OptionsDeck covers every optionable US equity and ETF. The GEX dashboard works on SPY, QQQ, IWM, all single names with sufficient open interest, and major sector ETFs.
