Days to Expiry Review: Portfolio Truth for Options Income

Roll-adjusted cost basis, per-leg P&L, a weekly execution plan, and multi-broker sync. Not a broker. Not an unusual-flow feed.

Days to Expiry is a web app and Chrome extension for options income traders who need portfolio truth after rolls—not a broker and not an unusual-flow feed. Connect SnapTrade (36+ brokers, including tastytrade, Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, E-Trade, and Vanguard), first-class IBKR Flex, or CSV. See roll-adjusted cost basis and per-leg P&L, follow a weekly covered-call / cash-secured-put plan, and query live positions from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, or Gemini via a Pro+ MCP connector. Pricing from the live Stripe prices that back /pricing (verified 2026-08-13): Starter $20/mo ($200/yr), Pro $50/mo ($500/yr), Alpha $200/mo ($2200/yr). Demo portfolio is free; the 14-day trial does not require a credit card to start.

Problem

Income sellers usually outgrow diagrams, screeners, and broker P&L.

Broker P&L hides roll-adjusted basis — after a few covered-call rolls, average cost is no longer the number that matters

Spreads and condors stay lumped together — multi-leg P&L is hard to read as combined exposure

Sunday planning is still a spreadsheet — strike, expiry, and premium decisions are rebuilt by hand

Builders and brokers solve different jobs — unusual flow and order tickets do not replace a portfolio ledger

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

What does Days to Expiry cost?

As of 2026-08-13, live Stripe prices that back /pricing are Starter $20/mo ($200/yr), Pro $50/mo ($500/yr), and Alpha $200/mo ($2200/yr). The demo portfolio is free. The 14-day trial does not require a credit card to start. The free plan includes the demo, manual CSV, and the Chrome extension. Check /pricing for current amounts.

Who should stay on OptionStrat instead?

Stay on OptionStrat if you live in a strategy builder and unusual-flow feed. OptionStrat lists 50+ templates, a builder/optimizer with net greeks, and Live Flow at $99.99/mo (optionstrat.com, 2026-08-13). Days to Expiry does not offer unusual flow and is not a 50-strategy visual builder. Keep OptionStrat for pre-trade visualization; use Days to Expiry when the job is portfolio truth after the trade is on.

Who should stay on tastytrade instead?

Stay on tastytrade—or any broker—if the job is execution. tastytrade is a broker (Mobile, Desktop, Web, API) with a published commission schedule, not an analytics SaaS. Days to Expiry cannot place trades. Connect tastytrade via SnapTrade and keep the brokerage relationship; Days to Expiry is complementary, not a replacement.

Who should stay on Born To Sell?

Stay on Born To Sell if you want a dedicated covered-call screener and portfolio book and that workflow already fits. Born To Sell lists Monthly $59.95 (borntosell.com/free-trial, 2026-08-13) and is covered-call-centric. Days to Expiry adds CSPs, spreads, roll-adjusted basis, per-leg P&L, and multi-broker sync. There is no reason to switch solely for a different covered-call filter.

Is Days to Expiry a broker?

No. Days to Expiry does not execute trades. It is a portfolio-clarity and planning layer on top of brokers you already use.

How do I try it without a credit card?

Open the demo portfolio for free, or start the 14-day trial from /sign-up with no credit card required. Import via SnapTrade, IBKR Flex, or CSV when you want your own positions on the ledger.
