IBKR and Questrade only viable choices for Options trading?

IBKR seeminly has the lowest fees for US options trading at CA$1 minimum whereas Questrade does it for CA$9.95. IBKR has been working out fine but I really don't like the fact that I need to have US$500 minimum balance just to get access to market data on top of paying for it monthly.

Are there no platforms that offer low fees and preferably no minimum balance for market data?

I checked out WeBull but they only offer US Options trading in Margin accounts I wanna stay away from those.
