Comparison
OptionTracker vs OptionStrat
Two different jobs. OptionStrat is a visualizer with unusual-options Flow. OptionTracker is a builder with a ledger that keeps a wheel cycle together after assignment. This page names both products because a searcher asked the question. Last verified 13 August 2026 against their public membership, Flow, and home pages, no login.
| Topic | OptionStrat | OptionTracker |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Strategy visualizer and optimizer, plus unusual-options Flow. 4.6/5 from 3.3k reviews on their membership page. | Strategy builder plus a ledger for wheel and covered-call cycles. Younger product. Assignment, lots, adjusted basis, $0.00 closes. |
| Builder | 50+ strategies (their copy). Optimizer targets a price and date. Chance of profit, net greeks, IV history and volume overlay sit on Live Tools. | 58 priceable templates on the real chain, including the anonymous builder. Chance of profit is on the free builder. 15-minute delayed on every tier. |
| Saved trades | Live Tools: high / low / historical graph of each saved strategy, and those saves can be exported. They do track saved trades — this page does not pretend otherwise. | A wheel or covered-call cycle: cash-secured put → assignment at any print including $0.00 → lots at adjusted basis → covered calls → called away. Export is the OptionStrat file coming in, plus your own CSV out of the account. |
| Options flow | Live Flow $99.99/mo: live tape, saved filters, alerts, historical search. Free flow is delayed 15 minutes and shows around 10% of flow (their /flow page). | None. No unusual-activity feed, no flow alerts, no historical flow. If that is the product you want, OptionStrat is the product you want. |
| Market data | Live Tools advertises current stock and option prices without delay. Free is delayed. Live data is limited to non-professional users on their membership page. | 15-minute delayed on anonymous, free, and Pro. Marks are last traded prices — this plan has no NBBO. We do not sell live data. |
| Price | Live Tools $39.99/mo. Live Flow $99.99/mo. 7-day trial. Annual billed at a 12% discount; no yearly dollar total is printed on the membership page. | Pro $29/mo or $290/yr. 14-day Pro trial, no card. First 100 members: $19/mo or $190/yr, locked while the sub stays active. |
OptionStrat prices and feature lists: optionstrat.com/membership, optionstrat.com/flow, and optionstrat.com. Last verified 13 August 2026. OptionTracker prices are the same constants the checkout uses. Annual OptionStrat is “Save 12%” on that page — they do not print a yearly dollar total, so this table does not invent one.
Where the honest difference sits
OptionStrat models a saved strategy and can graph it. That is real, and it is useful. OptionTracker books a cycle: the short put, assignment as a stock fill at the strike, lots at strike minus premium, the covered calls that follow, and a worthless expiry recorded at $0.00 — not a penny close. If you sell cash-secured puts and write calls against the shares, that continuity is the product.
Pro is $29 a month or $290 a year — two months free on annual — and every new account starts with 14 days of it, no card. The builder is free without an account.
OptionTracker is younger. There is no Flow. Data is delayed on Pro the same as on free. Those are not footnotes. If you want live prices and a flow tape, OptionStrat Live Tools and Live Flow are built for that.
Shorter version: three switch reasonsDirect answers
Does OptionTracker have options flow?
No. OptionTracker does not have unusual-options-activity / Flow. OptionStrat does — Live Flow is $99.99/mo on their membership page (13 Aug 2026), with a free view that is 15-minute delayed and shows around 10% of flow. If Flow is the job, stay there.
Is OptionTracker data live?
No. Every OptionTracker tier — anonymous, free, and Pro — is 15-minute delayed (Massive delayed plan). OptionStrat's Live Tools plan advertises current prices without delay at $39.99/mo.
Can I bring an OptionStrat history into OptionTracker?
Yes. /import reads an OptionStrat trade-history export (.xlsx or .csv) for free. Wheels become linked cycles and lots; $0.01 force-closes normalize to $0.00. That specific file layout is what the parser reads — not 'any broker CSV'.
What does OptionTracker cost next to OptionStrat?
Pro is $29 a month or $290 a year — two months free on annual — and every new account starts with 14 days of it, no card. OptionStrat Live Tools is $39.99/mo and Live Flow is $99.99/mo, with a 7-day trial (membership page, 13 Aug 2026). Their annual toggle is labelled Save 12%; they do not print a yearly dollar total on that page, so we do not invent one.
