Moontower

Research & Analysis — Paid

Options volatility analytics with vol surfaces, skew and earnings screens, trade ideas and a cited AI agent.

Shows whether options are cheap or rich vs history

Overview

Moontower is an options analytics platform for traders who think in volatility, not direction. It was co-founded by Kris Abdelmessih, a former SIG options trader, and it shows. It is known for answering one question well: are these options cheap or expensive?

The platform computes its own implied volatility surfaces for US-listed stocks and ETFs, then builds on them: skew, term structure, vol cones, and earnings history that compares the implied move with what the stock did. Workflows walk you from discovery to a priced covered call, cash-secured put or collar. A trade ideas list flags buy and sell setups from its models. The AI piece is Moontower Agent. You ask a vol question in plain English and it pulls the data, then answers with sentence-level citations. API and MCP access come with every plan.

The catch is price and depth. Plans start at $99 a month billed annually, and we saw no free plan or free trial. You need to know what skew and variance risk premium mean before this pays for itself. There are no third-party reviews yet, and the client logos on the homepage cannot be verified. Skip it if you buy shares and hold them, or if you are still learning what a call option is.

Pros

• Built by a former SIG options trader
• AI agent cites the data behind answers
• API and MCP access on every plan

Cons

• From $99/mo, no free plan or trial
• Assumes real options knowledge
