Verdict
Depends on how you tradeThese tools start from different places. OptionCharts is a chart library, with dealer-exposure charts, historical option statistics, market-wide trends pages and CSV export that OMP does not match. OMP turns a shortlist into a modelled, tracked trade, and its live data comes with every paid plan, where OptionCharts offers real-time options data only on Ultimate.
Choose OptionCharts for chart-led research, dealer positioning, historical option statistics and data downloads. Choose OMP to shortlist, compare, model and track trades on live data. The products overlap less than their names suggest, so some traders will want both.

Important differences to know
- OMP does not offer GEX or DEX charts (the Advanced Strategy Scanner shows GEX proxy walls, open interest walls and max pain as context), a historical statistics browser, market-wide flow pages or CSV chart downloads.
- OMP has no paper trading. OptionCharts Premium supports paper trading on saved trades.
- OptionCharts does not support trading from its site and, per its FAQ, does not offer an API.
- Greeks and implied volatility are model outputs. OptionCharts calculates them itself from OPRA data using stated models, so figures can differ between platforms.
