Bitsgap is the highest-scoring competitor in this review series. It passes all auto-fail rules and publishes more platform-level data than 3Commas,
but the complete absence of Chinese support makes it a non-starter for Chinese-speaking users.
Bitsgap is the best traditional bot platform we've reviewed for English-speaking users — 17+ exchanges, 7 bot types, $203M in published annual user profit, 9 years with no major incident, and a usable free tier. If you're comfortable in English and need niche strategies like COMBO bot, it's a stronger pick than 3Commas. For Chinese-speaking users, beginners wanting zero-config setup, or anyone who only wants to pay when profitable, CoinTech2u remains the better fit — Bitsgap's English-only operation, subscription pricing, and lack of localized support compound into real friction over time.
Hitting any rule disqualifies a product. Bitsgap passes them all — the cleanest result among competitors reviewed so far.
Bitsgap explicitly states: "Bitsgap doesn't have access to funds on your exchange and cannot withdraw them." Trading permissions only.
Non-custodial. Funds always remain in the user's connected exchange account.
Users can verify their own trades on their exchange. Bitsgap's published aggregates ($203M/year user profit, etc.) are marketing claims, not a real-time third-party API.
Integrates with 17+ major public exchanges (Binance / OKX / Bybit / Bitget / Coinbase / Kraken and others).
Bitsgap's site publishes aggregate platform stats (800K+ users / $9.46B AUM / $203M/yr user profit), but these are marketing claims rather than an independently queryable live data feed.
Weights and rules: Review Methodology v1.0.
Bitsgap's site clearly states it "doesn't have access to funds on your exchange and cannot withdraw them" — trading permissions only. 9 years of operation with no major public security incident (vs 3Commas' 2022 API-key compromise event). Points lost mainly to the absence of a platform-level Asset Guard–class circuit breaker (only bot-level stop-loss / take-profit).
Publishing "800K users / $9.46B AUM / $203M total user profit in one year / 4.7M bots launched" is unusually transparent for the category. But these remain marketing-page claims — not an independently queryable real-time API. CoinTech2u's /live-proof reads directly from the official API and shows hourly-synced live data; Bitsgap still doesn't reach that bar.
Pricing is fully public: Free $0, Basic $23, Advanced $55, Pro $119 (annual saves up to $360). Explicit statement: "no hidden fees, no trading commissions." 7-day Pro trial with no credit card. A usable free tier is a category highlight (though limited to Evedex + demo bots). Points lost: granular feature gating — futures require Advanced+, bot caps step up per tier, creating real upgrade pressure.
Bitsgap's homepage and documentation are entirely in English — not even machine-translated Chinese (worse than 3Commas on this front). HQ in Dubai, customer base mostly in Europe/Americas/SEA English-speaking users. CN / TW / HK users face a full language barrier. Exchange breadth is strong (17+), but localization is a structural shortfall.
7 bot types cover broad needs (GRID / DCA / BTD / LOOP / COMBO / QFL / DCA Futures); COMBO bot is a unique-in-class innovation. UI is polished, demo bots are free for testing. But the learning curve is steep — no zero-tuning out-of-the-box path — new users typically need 30-60 minutes to configure their first bot. The AI Assistant is a nice touch but remains advisory rather than fully autonomous.
Founded 2017 — 9 years, contemporaneous with 3Commas. No major public security incident is a real advantage. Support is English-only (no Chinese). Community activity is moderate. HQ in Dubai (Dubai Silicon Oasis); regulatory framework under UAE.
Subscription vs profit-share — similar shape to 3Commas, but Bitsgap adds a free tier entry point.
| Tier | Monthly | Annual (per month) | Key limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 3 COMBO bots (Evedex only) · 20 demo bots · no mainstream-exchange bots |
| Basic | $23 | $23 | 3 GRID · 10 DCA · 30-day backtest · no futures |
| Advanced | $55 | $55 | 10 GRID · 50 DCA · 10 COMBO · 180-day backtest · futures enabled |
| Pro | $119 | $119 | 50 GRID · 250 DCA · 50 COMBO · 365-day backtest · full feature set |
Assuming a steady 5%/mo realized return, compare actual costs under each model:
Bottom line: Bitsgap's $23/mo Basic is the lowest entry-tier subscription in the category. At capital ≥ $10,000, the subscription is already below 5% of monthly profit, making Bitsgap more small-account-friendly than 3Commas ($50/mo Pro). But at ≤ $3,000 capital, CoinTech2u's profit-share remains the cheapest model, and losing months cost nothing.
Same ruler applied to both — green marks the side that wins each row.

The two products' positioning barely overlaps — target users are clearly distinct.
Bitsgap scores the highest of any competitor in this series — it has executed the "traditional third-party bot platform" model about as well as it can be done.
But English-only operation plus subscription pricing make it the wrong fit for most Chinese-speaking users. The two links below are CoinTech2u's live evidence and our scoring rules — make the call yourself.
