Start with the job you want the scanner to do.
For a small-cap research session, the recurring job is clear: find names in play, understand their current activity, and keep the relevant conditions in view. Gapperz is organized around that sequence.
Open a scanner such as Premarket Gappers, High RVOL, or HOD Momentum. Select a result to bring its chart and available company context into focus. Save the names you want to follow and create alerts for the conditions you want to revisit.
Scanz offers a broader collection of configurable scans, news and filing tools, charts, prints, and Level 2. Its official platform overview describes those tools. The useful comparison is how each workspace supports your own routine.

A useful scan has a definition you can understand. When moving a workflow between products, compare the session, the reference price, and the volume calculation. Two lists can differ because their criteria differ, even when both are working correctly.
Compare the plan you would actually use.
Gapperz’s published monthly plans are $59 for Founding and $99 for Pro. Review the plan page for included limits, current availability, and checkout terms.
| Plan | Monthly price | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Gapperz Founding | $59 | A focused entry into the Gapperz scanning and research workflow. |
| Gapperz Pro | $99 | Expanded limits and workflow features listed on the plan page. |
| Scanz Starter | $89 | Browser/mobile access with one scan running at a time. |
| Scanz Pro | $199 | Simultaneous scans, alerts, and desktop layouts. |

Write down the features that are part of your actual session: the scanner views you use, the alerts you need, your watchlist size, and any separate chart or depth tools. That makes the subscription comparison concrete.
Build your first Gapperz session around a familiar task.
Choose the starting view.
For premarket research, open Premarket Gappers. For intraday activity, try HOD Momentum or High RVOL. Begin with the view closest to the question you already ask each day.
Check a name you recognize.
Open the result and read the chart beside the available context. Keep the timestamp, volume, and reason for the move together as you research.
Recreate your useful constraints.
Translate the supported parts of your existing criteria into a saved scan. Match the session and metric definitions, then compare the results on that basis.
Close the loop with a watchlist and alert.
Save the names you want to follow and define one condition you want to hear about. Test the delivery channel you intend to use during your regular routine.
The premarket guide and RVOL explainer give you a practical starting point for those comparisons.
Judge the workspace by your research routine.
Run through one complete task: find a name, understand the row, open its context, save it, and set an alert. Pay attention to how easily you can return to that context after looking at another scanner.
Keep the requirements that matter to you visible. If your routine depends on full depth or a specific desktop layout, include it in your checklist. Gapperz’s strength is the connected discovery and monitoring workflow you can see in the product tour.

A few useful answers.
Is Gapperz a Scanz alternative for small-cap scanning?
Yes. Gapperz offers real-time equities discovery, predefined small-cap scanner workflows, saved scans, charts, symbol context, watchlists, and alerts. Start with the public tour to see how those pieces fit together.
Do I need to install a desktop app?
Gapperz runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. Scanz also offers browser and mobile access; its published Pro plan adds the desktop application and desktop layouts. Browser access alone is not the difference—the daily workflow is.
Does Gapperz include full Level 2 market depth?
Gapperz provides top-of-book and trade context. Full Level 2 displays multiple order-book levels and is a different feature. If depth is part of your execution routine, retain the depth tool you use while evaluating Gapperz for discovery and research.
Can I automatically import my Scanz layouts?
There is no automatic Scanz layout importer. Use your current criteria as a checklist, select the matching Gapperz scanner, and rebuild the supported filters in a saved scan. A watchlist gives you a simple way to carry familiar symbols into the comparison.
