Scorecard
Cost
weight 30%All-in monthly outlay — software, platform, data and any required hosting. This is the hurdle a strategy clears before the trader sees a dollar, so it carries the most weight.
30/30Automation
weight 25%Whether the product places trades, assists a human, or only signals. A tool that needs you at the desk is not automation regardless of what it costs.
22.5/25Coverage
weight 20%Instruments and markets genuinely supported, including whether smaller contract sizes are available to smaller accounts.
12.4/20Resilience
weight 15%Monitoring, automatic recovery from disconnects and platform restarts, and the support attached. Unattended systems fail operationally far more often than they fail strategically.
9.8/15Transparency
weight 10%Whether the logic is describable. A buyer who cannot say what a system does has no basis for deciding whether a losing month is variance or breakage.

Assessment
Built for traders who want to design their own bot behaviour rather than run something supplied: DCA safety orders, technical-analysis conditions, and refinement over time. Cloud execution means it keeps running without a machine of your own, which is a structural advantage over the locally-executed futures products here. Crypto only, and the edge remains yours to find.
Suits
Crypto traders who want configurable DCA and grid automation with hands-on control across exchanges.
Limits
Crypto only. Pricing on this board is unverified pending a check against the vendor's page.
Alternatives to 3Commas
Scored on the same five components. Products in the same asset class come first — a crypto bot is not an alternative to a futures system, whatever it scores.
