Spread shows the day's credit spreads, drawn on the chart, and what the QuantSignals engine currently thinks of any ticker you search. PICKS Nine ranked credit spreads a day from the QuantSignals News Spread Engine — the structure (bear call or bull put), both strikes, the credit, the return on risk and the probability of profit, in the engine's own order. Tap one and it is drawn on the chart: short strike, long strike, break-even, and the dealer gamma walls around them. SEARCH Type any ticker to see the engine's current read on that name, or run a fresh analysis when there isn't one yet. GAMMA WHERE IT BELONGS Dealer gamma is context for a level, not a separate screen, so the call wall, the put wall and the gamma flip are drawn on the same chart as the setup you are looking at. ENDS IN A TRADE, NEVER IN AN ORDER Every setup finishes with a one-tap hand-off to FST, the QuantSignals app that places orders. Spread itself never places a trade: the hand-off prefills an order ticket in FST with the structure it was showing you, and a human confirms it there. Both strikes travel with it — a spread reduced to one leg is a different trade. MEMBERSHIP Picks and Search are for QuantSignals members. Sign in with your QuantSignals account and a subscription you already have — from the web or another device — comes with you. Options carry risk, including the loss of the entire premium and, in a spread, the full width between the strikes. Spread is research and planning software: it is not investment advice, not a recommendation to trade any security, and it makes no claim about anyone's results. Spread Premium unlocks the ranked picks, the FST Trader signal and the GEX overlay: Spread Premium Monthly at $9.99 per month, or Spread Premium Annual at $59.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and a subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. An existing QuantSignals Premium or Gold membership already covers it — sign in with that account and nothing is charged twice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Quant Data at free with in-app purchases against Spread's subscription. Quant Data also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 1) and chart position (#191 vs unranked). Spread's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quant Data sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $74.99 per month and Spread sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spread holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quant Data has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Quant Data's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spread's.
