Is Crucible Markets really free?

Yes. The Free tier includes bot builder, paper trading, 5-10 AI analyses per day, basic charting, and competition leaderboard view. No credit card required. Pro is $5/mo (50% launch deal) for live trading, whale alerts, and unlimited AI.

How does Crucible Markets compare to Coinrule or 3Commas?

Crucible Markets offers a free bot builder, trading competitions, whale wallet alerts, and AI risk analysis — none of which competitors offer. Pro is $5/mo vs $30-40/mo for Coinrule and 3Commas. Plus we support crypto, stocks, AND options.

What's the visual bot builder?

Drag-and-drop blocks for entry/exit conditions across 40+ indicators with AND/OR logic, TP/SL, and position sizing. Or write Python code in the built-in Monaco editor. Backtest, paper-trade, then deploy live on Pro.

What are trading competitions?

Compete against other bots and traders in Practice Matches (free, leaderboard glory) or Ranked Matches (coming soon, real stakes). Competition types include 1-week sprints, 1-month marathons, and head-to-head brackets.

Is there a free trial for Pro?+

What payment methods are accepted?+

We accept all major credit cards via Stripe. All payments are encrypted and PCI-compliant.

What asset classes are supported?+

How do competitions work?+

Practice Matches are free — compete for leaderboard glory. Ranked Matches (coming soon) let you bet on bot/trader performance with real stakes in states where skill-based gaming is legal.
