Cryptohopper is a cloud bot with a drag-and-drop strategy designer, a signals marketplace, copy trading and arbitrage, on 16+ exchanges. OptAlgo is narrower and stricter: Binance, Bybit and OKX, strategies written by your AI, and a backtest engine that tells you when a result is not to be trusted.

Marketplace and breadth. Cryptohopper has paid signals, copy bots, market making and arbitrage, a visual strategy designer and 16+ exchanges. If you want to follow someone else's signals or trade on an exchange OptAlgo does not support, Cryptohopper has it.
Evidence. OptAlgo's backtest replays fees, funding and intrabar fills on 1-minute data, grades how honest the simulation was, and counts how many variants you tried before calling an edge real. Walk-forward and Monte Carlo use the same engine. Nothing trades live before paper and your confirmation.
Cryptohopper's Strategy Designer is drag-and-drop over indicators, with an A.I. designer on the Hero plan. On OptAlgo you describe the rules to Claude or ChatGPT, the assistant writes plain Python you can read and keep, validation lists every problem for free, and the backtest grades it.
Cryptohopper: Explorer $29/mo, Adventurer $69/mo, Hero $129/mo (less on annual billing), with a 3-day trial. OptAlgo: Free with 50 backtest units a month, Plus $29/mo, Pro $99/mo, 14-day money-back guarantee.
faq
Yes for traders who want their own strategy tested honestly before a bot runs it. Cryptohopper remains the choice for signal marketplaces, copy trading and exchanges beyond Binance, Bybit and OKX.
No. OptAlgo runs system strategies you can subscribe to in the app and the strategies you or your AI build, but it does not sell third-party signals.
Every competitor cell quotes that company's own pricing or product page on the date shown under the table, and says “not stated” when their page does not say. If something changed, email [email protected] and we will update it.
Yes. OptAlgo backtests and runs strategies on your own exchange account through API keys, so nothing stops you from keeping another platform connected to the same or a different sub-account.
50 backtest units a month on the Free plan.
