Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Alpha Squeeze at free with in-app purchases against Trade Tool's subscription. Alpha Squeeze also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 25%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Trade Tool's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Trade Tool sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month and Alpha Squeeze sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trade Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Trade Tool's written reviews are positive against 60% of Alpha Squeeze's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trade Tool ships an update every 5 months, Alpha Squeeze fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
