05/THE CASE
Why traders switch.
Mobile apps they do not offer
Native iOS and Android with push notifications for flow, dark pool, and signals. Heatseeker is web only.
$500/mo back in your account
$199/mo vs $699/mo is $500/mo saved. That is $6,000/year staying in your trading account while you still get the GEX layer you came for.
06/THE VERDICT
The bottom line.
Heatseeker is an expensive standalone GEX product on web. Trade Echo sweeps every category here, including dealer positioning: DealerEdge wraps professional gamma tooling inside the full Trade Echo stack so you are not stuck paying Heatseeker prices for a silo while you bolt on scanners and alerts elsewhere.
