The Smarter Alternative
Same Cloud Convenience.
Far More Power Under the Hood.
Cryptohopper gives you a web UI and basic automation — but caps your positions, locks AI behind expensive tiers, and charges extra for marketplace strategies. Cryptorobot.ai gives you AI-generated strategies, HPC-powered backtesting, and real hyperparameter optimisation — from $9.99/month, with hyperopt on the Live plan.

The Fine Print
What Cryptohopper Doesn't Tell You Upfront
The free tier sounds great — until you hit artificial limits, marketplace upsells, and per-feature paywalls that keep adding up.
Features Locked Behind Tiers
AI strategies, arbitrage, market making, and advanced indicators are only available on the Hero plan at $107/month. Lower tiers are stripped-down versions that push you to upgrade.
Marketplace Upsells Everywhere
Strategies, signals, and bot templates are sold separately on the Cryptohopper marketplace — on top of your monthly subscription. The real cost of trading is far higher than the plan price.
Hard Position Caps
Even on the most expensive Hero plan, you're limited to 500 open positions per exchange. If you trade actively across many pairs, you'll hit this ceiling fast — and there's no way around it.
Slow Strategy Intervals
On the Explorer plan, your bot checks strategy conditions only every 10 minutes. Even on Hero, the fastest interval is 2 minutes — an eternity in volatile crypto markets.
No Real Strategy Intelligence
Cryptohopper's "AI" is pre-built algorithm templates — not true AI strategy generation. You still need to manually configure indicators, set parameters, and hope the combination works.
No Hyperparameter Optimisation
Cryptohopper has basic backtesting but no hyperopt. You can't automatically search thousands of parameter combinations to find the optimal configuration — you're stuck with manual trial and error.
What You Get Instead
Full Power. Simple Pricing.
Cryptorobot.ai doesn't sell you strategies in a marketplace. Two monthly plans give you AI-generated strategies, HPC-powered backtesting, and unlimited positions from $9.99/month, and real hyperopt on Live at $19.99/month.
HPC Cloud
Instant Backtests & Hyperopt
Where Cryptohopper gives you basic backtesting, we give you distributed HPC infrastructure that runs thousands of parameter combinations in parallel — returning ranked, optimised strategy configurations automatically.
- Multi-year backtests across hundreds of pairs in seconds
- True hyperparameter optimisation — not just basic backtesting
- No local compute needed — runs while you sleep
AI Agents
Strategies Without Code
Cryptohopper makes you configure indicators manually or buy someone else's strategy from a marketplace. Our AI agents research, build, test, and optimise a full strategy from a plain-English description — no marketplace, no manual config.
- Describe your idea in plain English — AI builds and tests it
- AI validates and optimises before deploying live
- No marketplace purchases — your strategies are generated, not bought
Made For
Who Switches to Cryptorobot.ai
Frustrated Cryptohopper Users
You've hit position caps, been pushed into expensive tiers for basic features, or spent money in the marketplace on strategies that underperformed. You want a platform that delivers more for less.
Traders Who Want Real AI
You've tried Cryptohopper's "AI" trading and realised it's just preset templates. You want a platform where AI actually generates, tests, and optimises custom strategies from your ideas.
Serious Algo Traders
You need real backtesting depth, hyperopt, and the compute to run thousands of simulations — not a simplified visual builder with a 2-minute check interval. You want institutional-grade tools.
