Their strengths
- They trade real money today. Atheron Trading is in pre-order and runs on paper only, for everyone, until it launches.
- Their page says every plan reaches 9 exchanges. We connect five at launch, so the exchange you already use may not be one of ours yet.
- Their plans count DCA, signal and grid bots, up to a thousand of each on Expert, with a developer API on the top plan and webhook execution on every plan. If you want to design and run many strategies yourself, or drive them from your own code, that is what they are built for.

How we checked
- Every figure and every claim about another product comes from a page that company publishes, linked here.
- The date beside the prices is the day we read their page. Prices change, and our page is not the one to trust about theirs.
- Where their page does not say something, we say that their page does not say it. We do not fill the gap from a review site, and we do not guess a number.
- Nothing here is about what anybody made or lost with any of these products. Trading carries risk, including the loss of the money you put in.
- Their names are used to compare, nothing more. We are not affiliated with any of them, and their product names belong to them.
