Senntric vs Benzinga Pro
Both put real-time market news and audio squawk in front of active traders. The difference is what surrounds the headline. Benzinga Pro is a news-and-scanner product sold in tiers. Senntric is one workspace where the headline sits next to price action, earnings, economic data, charts and options positioning, at one price.
