Quant Data Review

Verdict

Quant Data is browser and mobile software for watching US options order flow and related market-structure analytics. Official pages at quantdata.us describe officially licensed real-time and historical market data directly from the exchanges, options order flow across U.S. exchanges, dealer positioning / heat-map tools, dark-pool levels and prints, alerts, custom pages, and web plus iOS / Android apps. A separate developer API and MCP product is marketed on quantdata.us/api.

Public homepage Standard pricing cards showed Monthly at $74.99 a month (“Billed monthly. Cancel anytime.”) and Annual at $62.50 a month (“Billed annually. Cancel anytime.”) with ribbon “Save $150.” Both cards carry badge “7-day free trial,” label “Non-professionals only,” and “Personal use only. Not for external redistribution.” Homepage also states “Get 7 days free” and “Starting at $62.50 a month. Cancel anytime.” Pay Standard when you want the dashboard feature surface on those cards. Skip if you need enterprise redistribution or a verified Professional-plan dollar figure (Professional price is behind a login wall; see pricing section).

This is a directory listing of analysis software, not a brokerage, not a signal service, and not a source of investment advice. Official terms SEC Disclaimer (section 14) states material “is not to be regarded as investment advice, but for general informational purposes only”; “We cannot guarantee profits or freedom from loss”; Quant Data LLC and its people are “NOT registered as securities broker-dealers or investment advisors” with the SEC or any state authority; “Quant Data LLC does not manage client assets in any way”; “Past results are not indicative of future returns.” Site-wide footer: “Not Investment Advice, See Terms for Details.” Public pages we reviewed describe a market-data platform, not account opening, order routing, brokerage connection, or execution. The only use of “routed” on official pages is analytical (“understand where flow is being routed”). Whether the product can send orders to a broker is verified negative on official pages. Do not treat this page as a how-to for placing trades.

We are not saying Quant Data is the best flow tool, the best exposure dashboard, or the best purchase. We are not saying it will make a strategy profitable. Options flow is a research input, never a trade signal or a pick.

Best for

• Scan unusual options flow with a trial on-ramp first. Homepage cards list real-time and historical options order flow; feature copy describes “Real-time options order flow across all U.S. exchanges” with consolidated blocks / splits / sweeps plus unconsolidated trade-by-trade views, sortable / filterable, live and historical. Treat prints as research inputs, not signals to copy.
• Dealer exposure and heat maps on the same seat. Official labels: “Options Exposure” (dealer positioning across strikes and expirations, including Delta, Gamma, Vanna, and Charm exposure; real-time or historical snapshots); “Options Heat Map” (30+ metrics including GEX, DEX, VEX, and CHEX across strikes and expirations; snapshots, filters, “alerting for key level shifts”). GEX / DEX / VEX / CHEX acronym expansions are not defined on quantdata.us itself: they appear on app-store listings linked from llms.txt and in internal API enum names (NET_GAMMA_EXPOSURE, NET_DELTA_EXPOSURE, NET_VANNA_EXPOSURE, NET_CHARM_EXPOSURE). If you use expansions here, treat those surfaces as the source, not the main site’s definitions.
• Dark pool, volatility suite, and named insight blocks. Pricing-card labels: dark pool levels, prints, and notable flow; volatility suite, open interest, and max pain; drag-and-drop layouts with 30+ trading tools. Named tools on official pages include Net Drift, Interval Map, Volatility Drift, Net Flow, Dark Flow, Gainers & Losers, Market Map, News, Stock Price / Time, and Volatility Skew. Official docs use-case card “Scan for unusual activity”: we do not call any feature a “scanner” or “screener” as if that were the product label.
• Mobile plus web with cross-platform sync. Vendor claims web dashboard plus iOS and Android apps with “the full dashboard feature surface” and “same data and feature set” on mobile, with cross-platform sync of layouts, filters, alerts, and themes. iOS v3.0.9 (Jul 19), Android updated Jul 18 2026. Biometric sign-in and push alerts on mobile. App Store listing alert types: drift crosses, heat map MVC shifts and proximity, and new consolidated flow events, with configurable throttle intervals.
• Quant IQ in-dashboard assistant (beta). Vendor states Quant IQ can configure tools, build filters, and summarize dashboard data; it is a beta feature and responses “may be inaccurate or mischaracterize data” and “do not constitute investment, financial, or trading advice.”

That is a fit for traders who want to watch unusual prints and exposure context as research inputs before they send an order somewhere else. It is not a claim that watching the tape improves results.

Skip if

• You want Quant Data to be the broker. This is not a broker comparison. Official pages self-describe as “a market-data platform for US options and equities.” No broker integration of any nationality is named anywhere. Order entry, routing, and execution are verified negative on official pages.
• You want stock picks, alerts-as-advice, or a ranked “best trade.” Terms SEC Disclaimer and footer disclaim investment advice. Quant IQ beta copy repeats that responses are not investment advice. Homepage testimonials are vendor-selected Discord quotes with explicit profit claims (for example “Just finished my best month ever, +$16k”): if mentioned at all, treat them as vendor-selected and unverifiable, not evidence.
• You assumed a permanent free delayed dashboard. No permanent free tier is displayed. The vendor states it is not a fit for “a free data source.” The ONLY delayed data described anywhere is a 15-minute delayed feed to third-party Discord servers via their bot (Terms section 18): that delay does not apply to the dashboard, apps, or API. Do not misattribute it.
• You need verified Professional-plan dollars without logging in. A Professional plan exists for “professionally registered traders,” described as “Same data and feature surface as Standard” (llms.txt), but its price is behind a login wall and is unverified on public pages.
• You need the API seat on the Standard dashboard plan. API + MCP is a separate product at quantdata.us/api: $149.99 a month monthly, $124.99 a month billed annually, ribbon “Save $300,” annual total $1,499.99 a year per llms.txt. The API plan has no free trial (Standard and Professional do). Enterprise: “Need to distribute the data, or want a custom solution? Contact us for enterprise pricing.”
• Your primary job is charting equities or drawing a payoff diagram. Official pages list analytics blocks, but those are extras next to a flow-and-exposure product. Charting belongs on chart and screen stocks and on the TradingView listing. Payoff diagrams belong on visualize an options payoff and on the OptionStrat listing.
• You need Canadian-listed options chains or a named Canadian broker integration. Official coverage statements say US options and equities only (see Canada note). No Canadian broker is named anywhere.

What you get at each price

Public prices on quantdata.us homepage Standard cards. Cards label Non-professionals only and Personal use only. Not for external redistribution.

	Monthly	Annual
Public price as shown	$74.99 a month; badge “7-day free trial”; “Billed monthly. Cancel anytime.”	$62.50 a month; badge “7-day free trial”; “Billed annually. Cancel anytime.”; ribbon “Save $150”
Feature labels on cards	Web dashboard plus iOS and Android apps; drag-and-drop layouts with 30+ trading tools; real-time and historical options order flow; volatility suite, open interest, and max pain; dark pool levels, prints, and notable flow; dealer positioning (GEX, DEX, VEX, and CHEX); real-time news, sentiment, and market events; custom pages, alerts, filters, and themes; 24/7 live chat support	Same feature list on annual card

Also on official pages:

• Annual total conflict (disclosed, not resolved). llms.txt states the annual total is $749.99 a year (consistent with $62.50 × 12 and the “Save $150” ribbon). Apple’s in-app purchase list at apps.apple.com/us/app/quant-data/id1602108613 shows $799.99 a year. Present both: web / llms.txt figure vs App Store channel: the App Store channel appears to cost about $50 a year more. The homepage never displays a yearly total at all. Web checkout is behind login, so the actually-charged annual figure on web could not be observed here.
• Professional plan. Exists for “professionally registered traders”; “Same data and feature surface as Standard” per llms.txt. Price behind login: unverified. Quant Data does not publish Professional dollars on public pages.
• Separate API + MCP product (quantdata.us/api): $149.99 a month monthly; $124.99 a month billed annually; ribbon “Save $300”; $1,499.99 a year per llms.txt. No free trial on API. Enterprise contact for custom / redistribution needs.
• Trial conversion. Terms: “If you are under a trial period, you will be billed at the end of your trial unless cancelled.” Whether a payment card is required to start the 7-day trial is unverified: registration collects name, username, email, and password; checkout is behind that wall.
• Cancel. Terms: self-serve “through the account info page.”
• Refunds. Terms section 28: “Refunds are not to be issued”; “All sales are final”; “All sales are non-refundable.” Terms also state “Pricing rates for monthly subscription plans can be altered by Quant Data LLC at any given time.”
• Payments. Terms section 1: payments “handled through PayPal Inc.,” alongside Apple / Google in-app purchases.

On Unusual Whales and Cheddar Flow, flow is the job with neighboring modules. On Tradytics, official competitor copy positions a broader retail toolkit next to live flow. On Quant Data, official homepage pairs order flow with exposure and heat-map tooling on the same paid dashboard. For a dedicated two-way split with Unusual Whales, see Quant Data vs Unusual Whales (pricing, trial, and free-delayed fit). For the four-way trader split, see Unusual Whales vs Cheddar Flow vs Tradytics vs Quant Data. For neighboring flow listings (not a ranking), see Quant Data alternatives. None of those rows is a recommendation to switch, and none is a claim that Quant Data wins the job.

Canada note

This directory is written with readers in Canada as well as the United States.

US options and equities per vendor; Canadian-listed coverage unverified. Official pages state twice that non-US markets are out of scope: “It is not the right tool for cryptocurrency, forex, or non-US markets” and FAQ limiting coverage to US options and equities market-structure data. We did not find an official page stating that Canadian-listed options (TSX equities, Montréal Exchange options, CDRs, and similar) are supported.

API exchange enum vs coverage claim. The API “Exchange List” enum, a Nanex-coded exchange-venue taxonomy of 76 values, contains legacy codes “TSE - Toronto Stock Exchange,” “CDNX - Canadian Venture Exchange,” and “TSIX - TSX Indexes,” alongside plainly out-of-scope entries like LSE, Eurex, Euronext, and LME. That is a field-value taxonomy list, not a coverage claim. Whether those Canadian venue codes are ever populated is unverified (would need a paid API key). Do not overstate in either direction.

Canadian broker compatibility. We found no official Quant Data page that lists Canadian brokers, Questrade, Wealthsimple, TD Direct Investing, or Interactive Brokers Canada as integrated execution partners. Any claim that Quant Data “works with” a named Canadian broker would be invented. Compatibility with a specific Canadian broker is unverified. Because the public product is analysis software, many people use a flow tape in one browser tab and a broker in another, that workflow is a description of two separate products, not a verified integration.

Purchasing from Canada. Vendor serves global users; API page shows “75+ Countries”; pricing is in US dollars; no CAD pricing or cross-border-fee note on official pages we captured.

Currency (CAD vs USD), registered-account constraints (TFSA, RRSP), and Canadian tax treatment of options are outside this review.
