Alert streams and ranked lists solve different problems
Alert-style tools optimize for speed of notification. ConvexRadar optimizes for review quality: fewer contracts, scored on chain pressure and cost, with the context needed to judge them.
ConvexRadar is an independent options research platform for traders comparing FlowAlgo alternatives who want a ranked shortlist of exact contracts — with volatility cost, catalyst context, and saved-contract follow-up — instead of a raw alert stream.

ConvexRadar does not license the full options tape or dark-pool data; its print typing is a chain-derived proxy. Traders who need the raw tape should factor that into any comparison — this page does not claim parity on it.
ConvexRadar is not affiliated with FlowAlgo. This page exists for traders researching alternatives, and nothing here presents options flow as a guarantee of direction.

FlowAlgo's headline $99/mo requires $1,188 paid annually up front; month-to-month is $149.

No. ConvexRadar is independent, and this is a comparison-style page for traders evaluating alternatives.
Instead of a stream of raw alerts, ConvexRadar ranks exact contracts by chain pressure, premium value, IV cost, and catalyst context, so review starts from a shortlist.
No. ConvexRadar's print typing is a chain-derived proxy rather than licensed full-tape data, and it states that limit openly wherever it matters.
