Pick Cryptohopper if you want a cheaper all-in-one bot with a strategy designer, copy bots and a cleaner security record (WhichBot score 7.8/10 vs 7.4/10). Pick 3Commas if you need more exchanges (15 vs 11), futures on the mid tier and Pine Script®/webhook execution, and you're comfortable with its confirmed 2022 API-key leak. On price, 3Commas starts lower ($20 vs $29 a month, or $15 vs $24.16 billed annually).

Who should pick which

  • Pick 3Commas if… you trade futures and want DCA, Grid and Signal bots across many exchanges (Bybit, BitMEX, Bitstamp and Gemini are on 3Commas but not Cryptohopper), or you run TradingView strategies through Pine Script® or webhooks.
  • Pick Cryptohopper if… you want a visual strategy designer, copy bots and a strategy marketplace, or you trade on Bitvavo, BingX or BitMart. Its only incident was a 2022 account-data breach where it says API keys weren't taken.
  • Skip both if… you want to pay $0: Pionex has free built-in bots and Bitsgap and WunderTrading have free plans.
