Which squawk service is fastest?
None of these vendors publishes independently audited latency numbers, so “fastest” claims are marketing. Trial two services side by side during a scheduled release such as CPI or NFP and compare when each one calls the number.
Does Senntric have an audio squawk?
Yes. Audio squawk is part of Senntric’s single plan, alongside Smart Feed, Active Events, alerts, economic and earnings releases, advanced charts and GEX. See how it compares with Benzinga Pro.
