## Overview

### Who Uses FirmTape?

Proprietary trading desks, small quantitative research teams and independent options traders working SPX index options intraday, mostly 0DTE. Typically teams of one to ten who trade their own book.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: gex.live

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$49.00
- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free version available)
- **Pricing Details**: gex.live has one paid plan and a large free tier.

Free, with no account and no card: every finished trading session since April 2022 - more than a thousand of them - replays in full. All three positioning books, every level and every overlay are available on historical sessions. This is not a limited demo; it is the whole product minus the current day.

Paid: $49 per month, or $490 per year (two months free). The subscription adds the live intraday session, streamed and recomputed every second while the market is open, plus 5 Lab credits each month for backtesting rules against the archive.

Extra Lab credits can be bought separately when the monthly allowance is not enough: $29 for 75 credits, $79 for 250 credits, or $29 per month for 150 credits every month. Purchased credits never expire and are only spent after the monthly allowance is used.

Billing is handled by Stripe and renews automatically until cancelled. Cancellation is available at any time from the account page and takes effect at the end of the period already paid for, with access kept until then. There is no free trial, because the free archive already lets every level be checked against history before subscribing.

Prices are set in US dollars; Stripe may display and charge the equivalent in local currency at its own exchange rate.
- **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50
