Where BullAlert takes a different path
- Yearly price: $399/yr vs ~$468/yr Pro annual. Weekly plan ($29/wk) offers a lower-commitment entry.
- Explicit sub-$20 / penny-stock focus with dedicated fader-rejection gates — Banana Farmer labels "overripe" signals but does not gate out faders.

- Per-day public history replay pages indexable for SEO — Banana Farmer gates per-day historical data to its Max tier.

Who should pick what
Pick BullAlert if…
You focus on US small caps, you want hard fader-rejection, and you want session-specific thresholds that match how you actually trade (pre-market rules are different from RTH). Yearly at $399 beats Pro annual.
Pick Banana Farmer if…
You want crypto coverage alongside stocks, you value a genuine free tier where you can kick the tires without any card, or you need API access for a custom workflow. Banana Farmer's Ripeness Score is mature and the product is similarly focused.
FAQ
Is BullAlert or Banana Farmer cheaper?
Close — Banana Farmer Pro is $49/mo or $39/mo annual ($468/yr); BullAlert is $69/mo or $399/yr. BullAlert yearly is cheaper; Banana Farmer monthly/annual pricing is lower.
Which one catches more signals?
They work differently. Banana Farmer scans 9,000+ assets every 15 minutes across stocks + crypto. BullAlert scans 60+ social-media sources and 500+ candidates every 5 minutes, focused on US small caps only. Different coverage, different cadence.
Does BullAlert cover crypto?
No — BullAlert is US equities only. If crypto momentum matters to you, Banana Farmer is the better fit.
How is BullAlert's fader filter different?
BullAlert has five dedicated gates that hard-filter faders before an alert fires. Banana Farmer labels late signals as "overripe" but does not block them. If you want faders filtered out of the inbox entirely, that is a BullAlert win.
Is there a free tier on BullAlert?
No — BullAlert has a 3-day free trial on the monthly plan but no permanent free tier. Banana Farmer's free tier (signals #3–5 visible) is a genuine advantage there.
Which score range is BullAlert using?
BullAlert's momentum score is 0–150 and pairs with a tier grade (S / A / B / C / D). Banana Farmer uses a 0–100 Ripeness Score. Different scales; both are normalized so the top of the leaderboard is what matters.
Does Banana Farmer have a developer API?
Yes — Max tier ($149/mo) includes API access (100,000 requests/day, 3 keys). BullAlert does not offer a public API at this time.
