Polyscope gives you the edge on Polymarket. Track large trades in real time, cut out the bot noise, and see where proven traders are actually putting their money. Whether you're new to prediction markets or a serious trader, Polyscope puts the smartest money on your phone within minutes of it moving. MARKETS — PRO For every busy market, see which outcome proven traders actually bought over the last 24 hours, and how that compares with the market's own price. Each market gets a signal strength score out of 100 — independent wallets, their Copy Scores, size, one-sidedness and recency. Every number is a measurement of real trading activity, never a forecast and never a probability. BIG OPEN POSITIONS — PRO Signals now shows more than trades. See the $1,000,000+ positions whales are still holding right now across all of Polymarket, ranked by capital committed. Filter by size, category, and how soon a market is scheduled to resolve. A trade is a moment; a position is conviction that survived time. SIGNALS FEED — PRO Every trade over $100,000 USDC across all of Polymarket in the last 24 hours. No noise — just the biggest moves. SMART MONEY CLUSTERS — PRO The strongest signal isn't one big trade — it's several proven traders independently taking the same side at once. Get alerted when a cluster forms. TRADE FEED A live feed of large Polymarket trades from your tracked wallets. Filter by category, sort by size, time or name, and search any market. HIDE THE BOTS — PRO Polymarket is full of automated market-maker and HFT bots flooding the tape. Polyscope detects them by their trade frequency, spread and timing, and lets you hide them from your feed, Signals, and suggested wallets in one tap. Open any wallet to see if it trades like a bot, and why. WALLET TRACKING Follow any wallet and get a push notification when they trade. Each profile shows live positions with P/L, a P/L chart (1D to all-time), recent activity, win rate, biggest win, and total position value. Discover traders from our live replica of Polymarket's leaderboard, or just type a trader's Polymarket name to add them — no copying 0x addresses. COPY SCORE & TRADER ANALYTICS Every wallet gets a 0–100 Copy Score estimating its real, price-adjusted edge — so betting heavy favorites doesn't inflate the score just for "winning" often. See ROI, consistency, win rate, entry timing, sizing behavior, and category breakdowns (politics, crypto, sports). Informational only, never financial advice. ALERTS YOU CONTROL High Conviction alerts on $100,000+ trades, Smart Money Cluster alerts, and market signal alerts — with a strength threshold and per-category mutes, so you only hear what you care about. AI TRADE ADVISOR — PRO Ask our Claude-powered AI why top traders are making specific moves and what the signals mean. SHARE THE ACTION Turn any trade or wallet into a clean, branded card for group chats and timelines. PLANS Free — Track up to 5 wallets, 20 daily notifications, the live trade feed, and top 3 suggested wallets. Pro — Unlimited wallets and notifications, Markets, big open positions, the full Signals feed, High Conviction and cluster alerts, bot filter, Copy Scores, AI Trade Advisor, full top-50 wallet library, no ads. 7-day free trial for new subscribers. WHO IS POLYSCOPE FOR? New to prediction markets, Polymarket traders hunting an edge, and crypto traders tracking real-world events.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PointStax at none against Polyscope's shown. PointStax also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Polyscope's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
