The only AI bot covering stocks AND crypto in one subscription
See exactly how AutoCoin stacks up against 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Pionex, Bitsgap, TradeSanta, Shrimpy, Gainium, and Composer. Real prices, real features, cited, no spin.
Four ways to automate a trade
Almost every platform in this category falls into one of four buckets. Here is where AutoCoin actually sits.
Crypto (10+ exchanges) AND US stocks, including Roth and Traditional IRA via Public.com. 16 named AI strategies with regime-aware rebalancing, hands-off after setup, no coding. $149/month flat, or $999 once with the Founders Pass.
Crypto-only. You configure a grid or DCA template and the bot loops the same rule until you change it. Free or cheap entry tiers.
You assemble a bot from indicators, signals, or rules yourself. Crypto-only for 3Commas and Cryptohopper; Composer is stocks/ETFs only. Roughly $20 to $140 a month once you go live.
Crypto-only scheduled rebalancing back to fixed target weights, not a strategy-trading bot. $19 to $299 a month.

AutoCoin vs each platform
The honest version, including where a rival is genuinely the better fit.
3Commas is a mature, crypto-only platform where you build bots yourself from indicators, DCA, and grid templates, priced from $20/mo up to $140/mo (Expert) depending on how many active bots and API keys you need. AutoCoin ships 16 named AI strategies across crypto and US stocks that auto-adjust to market regime, so there is no bot-building step.
Cryptohopper has a free Pioneer tier and a marketplace of copyable signal strategies, crypto-only, with AI strategies and market-making reserved for its top Hero plan at $107.50/mo. AutoCoin's AI strategies are not gated behind a top tier, and cover US stocks alongside crypto in the same subscription.
Pionex is a crypto exchange with free, built-in grid and DCA bots and a per-trade fee instead of a subscription. It is custodial, meaning Pionex itself holds your funds. AutoCoin connects to exchanges and brokerages you already use, stays non-custodial, runs AI strategies instead of fixed grids, and covers US stocks too.
Bitsgap has a free plan and paid tiers from $23 to $119/mo, crypto-only, built around grid and DCA bots with an AI Portfolio Mode reserved for higher tiers. AutoCoin's full AI lineup is included at one flat price, across both crypto and US stocks.
TradeSanta is a budget crypto grid and DCA bot platform, free plan up to $70 to $90/mo (Maximum), crypto-only. AutoCoin adds AI-driven regime detection and covers US stocks in the same subscription.
Shrimpy is a crypto portfolio rebalancer, not a signal-driven trading bot. It keeps your holdings at fixed target weights on a schedule, priced from $19 to $299/mo. AutoCoin runs active AI strategies that change exposure based on market conditions, across crypto and US stocks.
Gainium offers a free self-hosted Community Edition plus a free cloud tier, crypto-only, with credit-metered grid and DCA bots from roughly $23 to $117/mo above that. AutoCoin includes every AI strategy at one flat price, with IRA support and a public verifiable record.
Composer lets you build and backtest stock and ETF strategies from indicators for free, then pay $32/mo (Trading Pass) to actually invest, with Roth, Traditional, and Rollover IRA support. It does not cover crypto, and you still assemble the rules yourself rather than run a named AI strategy. AutoCoin runs 16 named AI strategies across both US stocks and crypto, no rule-building required.
The comparison questions people actually ask
Is AutoCoin better than 3Commas, Cryptohopper, or Pionex?
It depends on what you are optimizing for. If you want to hand-build your own crypto grid or DCA rules, 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Pionex, Bitsgap, TradeSanta, and Gainium all do that well. If you want named AI strategies that auto-adjust to market regime, cover US stocks alongside crypto, and publish a daily verifiable record, that is what AutoCoin is built for. See the full matrix above for the specific differences.
Does AutoCoin have a free plan like some competitors?
No. Cryptohopper, Pionex, Bitsgap, TradeSanta, Shrimpy, and Gainium all offer some kind of free or fee-only entry point. AutoCoin's entry point is a $1, 7-day trial, then $149/month, or a $999 one-time Founders Pass while the 500-seat cap lasts. The trade-off is what the fee covers: 16 named AI strategies across crypto and stocks, instead of a fixed number of self-built rule bots.
Can I trade both stocks and crypto with one AutoCoin subscription?
Yes. One membership covers all 16 bots, 11 for US stocks through your own brokerage and 5 for crypto across 10+ exchanges. None of the platforms in this comparison cover both; they are crypto-only, or, in Composer's case, stocks-only.
Is AutoCoin custodial like Pionex?
No. AutoCoin connects to the exchange or brokerage you already use with trade-only API or broker permissions that cannot withdraw funds. Your money stays at your own exchange or broker the entire time, the same non-custodial model 3Commas, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, TradeSanta, Shrimpy, and Gainium use. Pionex is the one platform here that is custodial, because Pionex itself is the exchange.
How is AutoCoin's track record different from other trading bot platforms?
AutoCoin hashes and signs its daily results and publishes them at autocoin.ai/live, with an independent verification page at autocoin.ai/live/verify. None of the platforms compared on this page publish anything equivalent. Past performance, including backtested results, does not guarantee future results.
Can I run AutoCoin inside an IRA the way I can with Composer?
Yes. AutoCoin supports Roth and Traditional IRA accounts through Public.com, in addition to standard brokerage accounts. Composer is the only other platform in this comparison with IRA support (Roth, Traditional, and Rollover, on its paid Trading Pass tier); the crypto-only platforms do not offer it because IRAs do not hold crypto through these venues.
