If you run DCA, grid or signal bots on 3Commas and want to see what else is out there, Altrady runs the same kinds of bots on your own exchange accounts, next to the terminal, scanners and journal you probably pay for somewhere else. This page lays out the prices, the differences and how to move a bot over.
Prices are for monthly billing on both sides, taken from each pricing page. Annual billing is cheaper at both.

A fair comparison goes both ways. These are the situations we see most when traders ask about moving.
You pay for several tools
Bots on one site, a journal on another, a scanner on a third. Altrady puts the terminal, scanners, bots and journal under one subscription, so the switch can shrink the total as well as the tab count.
You trade on several exchanges
Altrady is built as a multi-exchange terminal across 19+ connected exchanges. Positions, orders and bots from all of them sit in one view.
You want one place to review results
Closed positions flow into the Altrady journal automatically, so you can see which bot and which setup earned its slot.
You run a very large bot count
3Commas Expert lists 1,000 active bots of each type. Altrady Premium includes 50 active bots. If you run hundreds of small bots, check this limit first.
Migrate DCA bots
Altrady does not import 3Commas bots, so you recreate each one. A DCA bot is a handful of numbers, and the trial lets you rebuild your best one before paying anything.
Create a trade-only API key on your exchange (no withdrawal permission) and add it in Altrady. Your funds stay on the exchange the whole time.
From your 3Commas bot, note the pair, the base order size, the safety order size and count, the price deviation between safety orders, take profit and stop loss. These map to the same fields in Altrady.
Pick when the bot starts (immediately, from indicator conditions or after a price move), then enter the safety-order ladder, take profit and stop loss from your notes.
Let the 3Commas bot finish its current deal, then start the Altrady bot on the same pair with a small size. Move one bot at a time so you can compare how they behave.
Migrate signal bots
Which Altrady bot you need depends on where your signals come from. Pick the row that matches how your 3Commas signal bot is fed.
Open the 3Commas signal bot and check the source. A signal provider, a TradingView alert and your own script each have a different home in Altrady.
Supported signal providers go to Signal Bot. TradingView alerts go to TradingView Bot. Instructions sent from your own system go to Webhook Bot.
Enter position size, take profit, stop loss and the exchange account on the Altrady bot. Every incoming signal is then handled by these rules.
Change the alert or provider destination to Altrady, send one test signal on a small position, and check the result in the journal before you raise the size.

It depends on what you use 3Commas for. If you want DCA, grid and signal bots together with a multi-exchange terminal, scanners and a trading journal, Altrady is built for that. If you only need a large number of simple bots at the lowest price, compare bot limits on each pricing page before you decide.
On monthly billing, 3Commas lists Starter at $20, Pro at $50 and Expert at $140. Altrady costs €28 (Basic), €50 (Essential) or €90 (Premium). Essential includes 5 active bots, scanners and the journal. The plans differ in limits, so compare the bot counts you actually need, not only the price.
No. You recreate each bot in Altrady using the settings you already know from 3Commas: pair, order sizes, safety orders, take profit and stop loss. The migration steps above walk through it.
Yes. The DCA Bot can start immediately, from indicator conditions or after a configured price move, and builds the position with a safety-order ladder plus take profit and stop loss.
It depends on the signal source. Signal Bot handles supported signal providers, TradingView Bot handles your TradingView alerts, and Webhook Bot handles instructions from your own system.
Altrady connects to 19+ exchanges through API keys. Check the exchange pages for the markets and bot types available on yours before moving a bot.
Altrady connects through API keys that can trade but never withdraw. Your funds stay on your exchange, and Altrady is not an exchange, a broker, a wallet or a signal provider.
Yes. The 5-day free trial gives full access with no credit card or KYC. Rebuild one bot, run it next to your existing setup and decide after that.
Start the free trial, connect one exchange and recreate the 3Commas bot you trust most. If it behaves the way you expect, move the rest.
