Five things we won't trade away

Trustworthy speed

A visible connection badge shows live, reconnecting, or stale — never a feed that's silently frozen, the #1 complaint about incumbents.

The smart tape

Every headline is structured data — priority, categories, instruments, sentiment — not an undifferentiated string. Flash and routine look different on sight.

Context on demand

"Why it matters" explains a headline in one click, powered by AI and labeled as such — never in the way, always optional.

Personal routing

You decide what makes sound, what pushes to your phone, and what stays silent — keyword rules and instrument watchlists, not just category checkboxes.

Modern trader UX

Dark-first, dense, keyboard-driven (Ctrl+K for everything), pop-out panels for multi-monitor, and it actually works on mobile.

Pricing

The free tier out-features most competitors' paid plans. Elite undercuts the industry's typical ~$99/mo.
