Exchange bots or a bot platform?
Exchange bots run inside your exchange account, need no API key and usually cost nothing beyond trading fees. Bot platforms such as 3Commas, Bitsgap or Cryptohopper connect to several exchanges through API keys and charge a subscription, but let you run one strategy across exchanges. If you trade on one exchange, start with its built-in bots; if you use several, a platform saves time.
How we rank them
Every platform gets the same score out of 10 from sourced facts: bot variety and fees today, with safety, ease of use, support and transparency added once they are checked. Paid placements are marked AD and never change the order. Availability is shown for your country because many bots are closed in the US, UK, Canada or the EU.
Do AI crypto trading bots make money?
A bot executes a strategy; it does not create an edge. Grid bots need sideways volatility, DCA bots need price to recover, and arbitrage needs spreads that survive fees. "AI" on these platforms usually means suggested settings or an assistant that writes rules, not a prediction engine.
How these bots are scored
Every platform gets the same weighted score out of 10. A criterion without a primary source is not scored, and its weight is redistributed. Read the methodology.
FAQ
What is the best crypto trading bot?
It depends on where you live and how you trade. Free exchange bots such as those on Pionex or OKX score highest on our fee and variety criteria, while bot platforms such as Bitsgap or 3Commas suit traders who use several exchanges. Check the availability column for your country first.
Are crypto trading bots free?
Exchange bots on Pionex, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Gate, MEXC and Crypto.com charge no bot fee (on Bitget, grid bots are confirmed free); you pay normal trading fees. Third-party platforms charge a subscription, and some have a limited free plan.
Is an AI crypto trading bot better than a normal one?
Not by itself. On the platforms we review, AI features suggest parameters, build rules from plain language or run portfolio models. They can save setup time, but none of them can predict prices, and the strategy still carries market risk.
Are crypto trading bots legal?
Using a bot is generally legal, but the exchange or platform must be allowed to serve you. Each review and country page shows what the platform’s own terms say about your country.
