The Informr vs BigShort

The Informr is an independent finance comparison site that helps you research credit cards, VPNs, money transfer services, and credit monitoring tools without paying for access. You get filtered listings, side-by-side comparisons, and written reviews that pull together details from each provider's own specs. The site is run by ten24 Media Inc. and does not sell any of the products it lists.

Where most comparison sites stick to one product type, The Informr groups personal finance and security categories on a single platform. Credit card filters cover 365 cards across rewards, balance transfer, and secured categories, while the VPN section lists 94 providers with verdict-style reviews that call out specific trade-offs like Netflix unblocking or logging policies. That cross-category scope is the main reason to use it over a narrower card-only or VPN-only directory.

Shoppers comparing annual fees, transfer rates, or privacy features can filter by issuer, credit score tier, payment method, and more, then add picks to a comparison cart. The Informr also publishes a weekly newsletter and supports both USA and Canada locales, so regional product availability is part of the research flow rather than an afterthought.

BigShort plots order flow, dealer hedging, and short-squeeze signals on live equity charts for finance traders who want structure beyond price and volume. Instead of stacking generic price and volume indicators, it overlays SmartFlow institutional prints, Net Options Flow, dark pool blocks, and gamma levels so you can read who is pushing price before the candle confirms. Coverage spans every NYSE and Nasdaq ticker with real-time data on paid plans.

The product groups tools into Flow Analytics, Dealer Hedging, Short Squeeze, and Pattern Analogues tabs. SmartFlow tracks institutional accumulation, Gravity HP marks dealer hedge magnets, and the Honey Badger signal targets squeeze setups that the site claims hit a 90% win rate in internal backtests. Similarity Search scans years of intraday history to overlay analogue sessions and median forward paths.

Pricing starts with a $37 two-week trial on Basic, then $149 per month or $1,188 per year for 35 indicators including unlimited Spodin alerts and Discord access. Elite and Pro tiers at $1,000 per month add SmartFlow 3, Manipulation 2, long-horizon Honey Badger Year signals, and an Elite Discord room. BigShort won Benzinga Global Fintech Awards Best Order Flow Analytics and is featured in outlets like WIRED and MarketWatch.
