NoVo vs Amberdata: institutional depth against a working desk

Amberdata is an institutional crypto data provider, and since absorbing GVol — formerly Genesis Volatility — it carries one of the deepest options datasets in the category: tick-level granularity, bulk delivery to your own storage, and the kind of history a quant team models against. It is priced by conversation rather than by page. That single fact decides most of this comparison.

What Amberdata does well

Depth, and the infrastructure to deliver it. Tick-level options data, bulk delivery into your own storage, and the breadth of history a research team needs to build and validate a model. Having absorbed GVol they hold one of the most complete crypto volatility datasets anyone sells. If you have quants who want the raw surface and will build everything above it themselves, this is the tier that serves them.

Where NoVo is different

We sell the computed read, not the raw surface. The walls, the flip, the regime, the session history — the work of turning an options chain into something you can act on is the product, rather than an exercise left to the buyer. That is a smaller thing to sell and a much faster thing to use.

The price is on the page and the trial is self-serve, which matters more than it sounds. A published price means you can evaluate the fit before talking to anyone; a sales cycle means the evaluation starts after it.

And the index book is included on the same key, which for an enterprise buyer is usually a third vendor.

Which should you pick

If you have a research team and a budget to match, and you want raw data to build on, Amberdata is the serious answer and we are not competing for that seat. If you are one person or a small desk who wants the dealer map read and ready this afternoon, take the trial. See the crypto map or plans and pricing.
