OQRO vs Unusual Whales: what each lists, and what each costs

Information as of 9 October 2026. If anything here is out of date, tell us at contact@oqro.io and we will correct it.

How this was written

Every statement about Unusual Whales comes from its own public pricing page, opened on 9 October 2026 and linked below. We state what the page says it offers and the price it lists. Where something is not on the page we read, we write that it is not listed there, which is not a claim that the service lacks it. We did not test Unusual Whales' data or its speed. Statements about OQRO come from OQRO's own coverage, methodology and status pages.

The short comparison

Where Unusual Whales lists more

Its pricing page is built around live options flow, a real-time heatmap of market-maker exposure, dark pool data, screeners for stocks and options, alerts and a community on Discord. It lists an API with REST, WebSocket and MCP access, and a free plan whose options flow is delayed two trading days, news fifteen minutes and alerts thirty minutes. OQRO carries none of the options or dark pool data.

Where OQRO is different

• Filings, not flow. Everything on OQRO comes from a record filed with an official body: the SEC, the House Clerk, the Senate, USAspending and the lobbying database. There is no options or dark pool data, which is not filed anywhere.
• One plain line per record. Each filing is written as one sentence with the official document next to it, so a reader can check it in one click.
• Insider filings within minutes. OQRO reads the SEC's live filing feed about every five minutes on US business days, and publishes the measured delay of each source on the status page.
• Amounts kept honest. Congress amounts stay ranges, and a contract's ceiling is never shown as revenue.
• Price. The two products list different plans for different uses. The prices each lists are in the table; both can change.

Which to choose

Choose Unusual Whales if your interest is options activity, market-maker positioning or dark pool prints, or if you want a free plan to explore with. Choose OQRO if your interest is what insiders, Congress members, funds and agencies have formally filed, explained in plain words with the official record next to each line. The two cover different data, so a reader who wants both would use both.

Limits of this comparison

OQRO wrote this page, so read it with that in mind. It compares what the pages list, not how accurate or how fast the data is, which we did not measure for Unusual Whales. Neither service gives investment advice on the pages we read, and neither does this page.
