Is PRUVIQ free? Is Freqtrade?

Both are free. Freqtrade is open source and costs nothing to download; you pay for whatever machine you run it on. PRUVIQ is free to use in the browser with no account. Price is not the difference between them — setup is.

What is the difference between PRUVIQ and Freqtrade?

Freqtrade is a self-hosted Python bot: you write a strategy as a Python class, configure a pair whitelist, and it backtests that whole whitelist in one run and can trade live on many exchanges. PRUVIQ is a browser backtester with a visual builder and nothing to install. Freqtrade is more flexible if you write code; PRUVIQ is faster for deciding whether an idea is worth coding.

Is Freqtrade limited to one coin at a time?

No. A Freqtrade backtest covers every pair in your configured whitelist in a single run and reports results per pair. If you see a claim that it tests one coin at a time, it is wrong.

Can I use PRUVIQ before setting up Freqtrade?

Yes, and that is the order we would suggest. Check whether the idea survives real fees and out-of-sample testing here first, then spend the time writing the Python if it does.

HONEST COMPARISON

PRUVIQ vs Freqtradea no-code alternative for crypto backtesting

Freqtrade is the open-source standard for coded crypto bots, and it is free. If you write Python and run your own server, it does more than PRUVIQ does. This page is for the other case: you want to know whether a strategy is worth coding at all.

TL;DR

Freqtrade is free and more flexible — if you can code and self-host. PRUVIQ is a browser backtester: no Python, no server, 320+ coins in one run. Use PRUVIQ to decide whether a strategy deserves the Python.
