Sentinel Terminal

SENTINEL IS A TRADING DESK, NOT A TICKER APP. Most market apps show you numbers. Sentinel tells you which numbers matter — and why — the moment they move. Built for people who read markets for a living (or want to), Sentinel scores every headline for impact, tracks live prices across equities, FX, crypto, and rates, and puts an AI analyst in your pocket that's grounded in today's actual data — not a generic chatbot guessing from training data. WHY SENTINEL • AI-SCORED NEWS, NOT A NEWS FEED Every headline gets an impact score, not just a timestamp. Stop scanning fifty stories to find the one that moves your position — Sentinel ranks them for you, in real time, across macro, equities, crypto, and commodities. • LIVE QUOTES, REAL CHARTS Real-time US index quotes, live FX pairs, crypto, and global rates — with 24-hour sparkline history on every instrument. Drag to scrub any chart. Track 45+ instruments in your own watchlist. • MACRO & EARNINGS, WITH SURPRISE COLORING A calendar that shows actual vs. consensus the second a number prints — CPI, NFP, rate decisions — plus curated earnings for the names that matter, with EPS consensus and analyst counts. • ASK AI — A REAL ANALYST, NOT A CHATBOT Ask a question about today's market and get an answer grounded in the last 24 hours of actual events and live prices. No hallucinated tickers, no invented numbers — and no advice on what to buy, just what's actually happening and why. • THE APP REACHES YOU A 7:30 AM daily brief. Push alerts the moment a story crosses your impact threshold. Home screen and lock screen widgets with live sparklines. A Live Activity that counts down to market open. You don't have to open the app to stay ahead of it. • BUILT LIKE A TERMINAL Dense by design. Monospace numerals, drag-to-reorder watchlists, Face ID lock for your private terminal. No stock-app cheerfulness — just the data. WHO IT'S FOR Self-directed traders and investors tired of stitching together a broker app, a calendar site, and a news feed to know what's actually happening. If you already know what P/E and NFP mean, Sentinel was built for you. SENTINEL PRO Includes a 3-day free trial. After the trial, continued access is a Sentinel Pro subscription — $4.99/month, billed to your Apple ID, cancel anytime in Settings. Sentinel provides market data and news for informational purposes only. Nothing in the app is investment advice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sentinel Terminal at none against HeatMap's shown. HeatMap's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
