Trade Ideas and Gapperz: start with the daily job.
A useful scanner comparison starts with your routine. Some sessions call for a familiar gap or momentum view. Others call for a custom condition, a closer look at a company, or an alert on a name you already follow. Write down those jobs before comparing a long feature list.
Trade Ideas combines configurable scans with ready-to-use channels; Premium adds strategy tools including backtesting and automated trading. Gapperz centers the workspace on equities discovery and research: sixteen live scanner views, linked symbol context, charts, focus lists, and alerts. Pro adds saved custom scans and deeper AI research.
For an active small-cap workflow, that connection matters. A row tells you where to start. The surrounding context helps you understand the activity, check the information behind it, and decide what deserves a place on your research list. Gapperz keeps those steps close together as you move through the session.
Compare the tools you will use.
| Research task | Trade Ideas | Gapperz |
|---|---|---|
| Starting a session | Preconfigured channels and custom layouts | Sixteen scanner views with small-cap workflows |
| Custom scans | Included in Standard | Saved custom scans in Pro |
| Research and strategy tools | Premium includes AI, backtesting, and auto-trading | Pro includes AI deep dives, morning briefings, and chart analysis |
| Monitoring | Price alerts and chart windows | Cloud-synced focus lists and in-app alerts; email alerts in Pro |
| Product scope | Scanning plus strategy and trading tools | Equities scanning, research, and monitoring; no broker order routing |

Know the plan. Know the bill.
Trade Ideas lists two paid tiers with different monthly and annual terms. Compare the amount charged for the billing period you intend to use.
| Trade Ideas plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / The Core | $127 per month | $1,068 per year ($89/month equivalent) |
| Premium / The Apex | $254 per month | $2,136 per year ($178/month equivalent) |
Gapperz plans
| Gapperz plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually | Included workflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founding | $59 per month | $590 per year | 16 live views, one-minute charts, focus lists, context, and up to 10 in-app alert rules |
| Pro | $99 per month | $990 per year | Everything in Founding, one-second charts, up to 50 rules, email alerts, saved custom scans, and AI research |
Match the tier to the task as well as the price. For Gapperz, Founding covers the preset scanner workflow and Pro adds saved custom scans, one-second chart timeframes, and AI research. A comparison that needs custom scanning should include Pro in the budget. Annual equivalents describe the yearly bill spread over twelve months; they are not month-to-month offers.

Build a focused routine in Gapperz.
Start with one repeatable research loop. The illustration above connects an observed price move with a research question. Use the product tour to explore the workspace and follow the same relationship between discovery and follow-up.
Choose the question for this session.
Use a premarket view to examine the morning’s gaps, or a momentum view to follow developing intraday activity. Keep the session and the condition clear so a large move from earlier in the day does not answer a different question from the one you meant to ask.
Read the row as a set of observations.
Look at price movement, volume, relative volume, and spread together. Each adds a different piece of context. Open the selected symbol to read its chart and available catalyst information, including timestamps and any labels on the underlying data.
Keep a short research list.
Add names you want to revisit to a focus list. Give each name a reason for being there: a fresh company announcement to read, an activity change to observe, or a chart level to monitor. The saved list makes the next review deliberate.
Set up the next check.
Use an alert for a condition you want to revisit. Founding includes up to ten in-app alert rules; Pro includes up to fifty and email delivery. With Pro, save a custom scan when a recurring research question needs your own filter combination.
Moving a scan workflow? Bring the definitions.
A familiar label is a starting point for comparison. To recreate a useful routine in Gapperz, document what the condition measures and how you use the result. These three checks make an evaluation concrete.
Record your essential conditions.
List the session, price range, activity filters, and monitoring needs you actually use. Separate the everyday requirements from occasional tools. Then walk through the preset views in the Gapperz tour and identify where a saved custom scan would help.
Check the meaning of each field.
Relative volume can use different time windows and baselines. Gap percentage and percentage change also answer different questions. Read the definitions before comparing rows between products, and keep unavailable fields visible as unknown rather than filling them with a guess.
Evaluate a complete research loop.
Follow a result from the scanner into its context, a focus list, and an alert. Note which steps you can complete comfortably and which require a different plan. That gives you a practical basis for selecting a workspace and subscription.
A few useful answers.

Gapperz Founding is $59 per month and Pro is $99 per month. Trade Ideas lists Standard at $127 and Premium at $254 when billed monthly. Compare the features in the specific tier you need; the annual prices are listed separately above.
Can I create custom scans in Gapperz?
Yes. Gapperz Pro includes saved custom scans. Founding includes the sixteen live scanner views, linked context, one-minute charts, focus lists, and up to ten in-app alert rules. Choose Pro when your routine needs saved custom filters, one-second charts, or the additional research tools.
Does Gapperz include automated trading or backtesting?
Gapperz provides scanning, research, and monitoring. It does not route broker orders or provide a strategy backtesting engine. Its AI tools support company and chart research. Keep those requirements distinct when comparing them with Trade Ideas Premium’s strategy tools.
Can I import my Trade Ideas layouts?
Gapperz does not provide a Trade Ideas layout importer. Start with the research conditions behind your layout, choose the closest Gapperz scanner views, and use Pro’s saved custom scans for your own combinations. Compare field definitions as you rebuild the routine.
