A free Bitsgap alternative with no bot caps

The short answer

Bitsgap's Basic plan costs $29 a month (less billed yearly) and allows 3 active grid bots, 10 DCA bots and backtests of up to 30 days; Advanced costs $69 a month. On AlgoBars, live strategies are unlimited, backtests are free and unlimited, and bots run 24/7 on AlgoBars servers.

When Bitsgap may still suit you

Bitsgap suits crypto traders who want grid and DCA bots running directly on their own exchange accounts across 15+ exchanges.

Backtests you can trust

AlgoBars backtests use only the data available at each moment and fill orders on the next bar, so a result reflects your rules, not hindsight. They show the raw price move, before spread and commission, so you see the edge of the rules themselves. Check each broker's spread with the broker spread map before going live.
