I re-built 9 trading SaaS tools and made it free
As a solo founder + options trader, I kept hitting the same pain point:
Too many paid tools, too many subscriptions, too many tabs just to trade options profitably…
So I built a free all-in-one Options Trading Toolbox (backtests, GEX, screeners, dark pools, trade ideas, etc).
Not selling anything here. I’m just sharing a project that solved my own problem in case it helps others or inspires your own builds.
I might charge in the future, but for now, it’s free for everyone who joins and gives feedback :)
Would love feedback from fellow builders.

The "too many tabs" problem is real. I've seen it kill trading focus more than bad market reads.
Smart move making it free for now - you're essentially getting paid in feedback and use cases, which is worth more than subscription revenue at this stage. You'll learn exactly which features people actually use vs. which ones you thought would matter.
Curious about the build process: did you rebuild these tools from scratch, or is it more about aggregating APIs/data sources into a unified interface? The difference matters for where the value lives - is it the consolidation itself, or specific functionality the paid tools don't offer?
Also: how are you thinking about the eventual monetization? Usage-based vs. feature tiers?
