- 03Compare scanner-enabled plans separately from news-only entry plans.
Start with the question that brings you to the screen.
Some sessions begin with a headline: what happened, which company does it affect, and how is the market responding? Others begin with a scanner result: which stock is moving, what is unusual about it, and what context explains the activity?
Benzinga Pro is built around a market-news operation, with a configurable newsfeed, audio squawk, alerts, and screening tools. Its official handbook describes that news-centered workspace.
Gapperz starts with the second question. Find a stock in a premarket, momentum, or volume view, then open the result to read its chart and available catalyst, company, and setup context. The research stays connected to the name you found.
Compare the path from discovery to follow-up.
| Task | Gapperz | Benzinga Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Start researching | Predefined small-cap scanners and saved custom scans. | Newsfeed and market-research workspace; scanner available on Essential. |
| Understand a symbol | Chart with available catalyst, company, setup, and risk context. | News search, filtering, and financial research tools. |
| Monitor activity | Watchlists and condition-based alerts with plan-specific delivery channels. | Watchlist alerts; additional signals on Essential. |
| Listen to live commentary | Scanner and research workflow with configured alerts. | Equity audio squawk on Streamlined and above. |
| Access the workspace | Desktop and mobile browser experience. | Web-based workspace. |
Benzinga sources: handbook and plan inclusions. Gapperz sources: product tour and current plans.
In Gapperz, a row is the starting point for a coherent research task. You can inspect the move, follow a source, save the symbol, and define an alert condition. This is especially useful when your initial question is which small-cap names deserve attention during the session.
Compare like-for-like access.
The lowest price on a product’s website does not necessarily include its scanner. Decide whether you want news access, audio, or a live scanning workflow, then look at the relevant plan.
| Plan | Monthly price | Relevant inclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Gapperz Founding | $59 | Gapperz scanning and research; plan limits on the pricing page. |
| Gapperz Pro | $99 | Expanded limits and workflow features. |
| Benzinga Pro Basic | $37 | Newsfeed, movers, and watchlist alerts. |
| Benzinga Pro Streamlined | $147 | Advanced news filtering and equity audio squawk. |
| Benzinga Pro Essential | $197 | Real-time scanner and additional research tools. |

From scanner match to a useful research note.
Find the activity.
Start with Premarket Gappers for the morning list, High RVOL for unusual participation, or HOD Momentum for day-high activity. Note the session and time of the result.
Read the price and participation together.
Open the chart. Compare the move with total volume, relative volume when available, and the current range. Keep the observed activity separate from any explanation of it.
Check the catalyst source.
Read the available context, then follow the original company announcement, filing, or report. Confirm the company identity and publication time so an older story is not mistaken for a fresh development.
Save and monitor the name.
Keep the symbol on a watchlist and set a condition-based alert. When it triggers, return to the chart and context to see what changed.
Explore this sequence in the Gapperz product tour. The premarket guide adds a detailed morning checklist.
A catalyst is most useful with its source and time.
When a stock is moving, start with the exact event described by the source. An earnings release, company announcement, and financing filing answer different questions. Read the original document and distinguish its facts from a summary or interpretation.
Check the publication time against the scanner observation. An article appearing in your view now may describe an earlier event. That distinction matters when you are building a record of what was known during the session.
Gapperz keeps available context alongside the selected symbol and labels unavailable information. You can continue researching price and participation while knowing which parts of the explanation still need a source. The methodology page explains that approach.
