OPTIONS PROFIT CALCULATOR: Find and edit option strategies in real-time with our options profit calculator to gain a visual understanding of your trades. OptionStrat's strategy visualizer is used to find the potential profit and loss at various prices, as well as show how your trade is affected by implied volatility, time decay, and other factors. The strategy visualizer makes it easy to scroll through various strikes and expirations to build an options strategy. Nearly any strategy can be created, including strategies with underlying stocks like covered calls, or multiple expirations such as double diagonals. Over 50 strategy templates are available to choose from, each with a handy setup chart and description. STRATEGY OPTIMIZER: Automatically calculate the best strategies given a target price and expiration date. The options optimizer will search through thousands of potential trades to find which strategies maximize returns or chance of profit (or somewhere in between). UNUSUAL OPTIONS FLOW: OptionStrat Flow scans the market to uncover large and unusual trades as they happen, giving you insight into trades by institutions and other smart money. Not only do we show large call or put purchases, but we detect if the transaction showed urgency or aggression from the buyer or seller to show you both sides of the market. We are the first to provide unusual options activity for complex strategy types. OptionStrat Flow detects spreads, condors, and other advanced strategies and categorizes them as bearish, bullish, neutral, or directional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OptionStrat at 4.8 against OptionsPilot's 4.3. OptionStrat also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 12) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). OptionsPilot's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. OptionStrat sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and OptionsPilot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OptionStrat holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OptionStrat has 1.9K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of OptionStrat's written reviews are positive against 100% of OptionsPilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OptionStrat ships an update every 10 days, OptionsPilot every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
