Gunbot Unlimited vs WolfBot: Which Crypto Automation Model Fits? (2026)

Gunbot and WolfBot both automate trading, but WolfBot now has two distinct products that must not be conflated. The current wolfbot.io product is a managed cloud platform for crypto, futures, and MT5. WolfBot Community is a separate free self-hosted edition. The older wolfbot.org site describes a legacy product with different pricing and positioning. This page compares Gunbot with the current wolfbot.io platform and calls out the Community distinction.

Deployment, Custody, and Security​

Gunbot's engine is operated on hardware controlled by the user. In self-hosted mode, exchange credentials remain with that installation. The operator is responsible for host security, updates, network access, and exchange permissions. Gunbot Live can provide a hosted or local workspace; distinguish that workspace from the execution engine.

WolfBot runs as a managed cloud platform. It requires trade-only API access with withdrawals disabled, and says funds remain at your exchange or broker. You rely on its hosted infrastructure for execution. The separate WolfBot Community edition is the option for running locally.

Strategies, Builder, and Backtesting​

Gunbot Unlimited includes configurable built-in strategy workflows, custom JavaScript, TradingView, risk controls, and advanced backtesting. Venue and market availability follows the supported connector list.

Current WolfBot pages advertise official strategies with published evidence, community strategies, a visual Strategy Builder using rules such as EMA, SMA, RSI, and ATR, TradingView alerts, webhooks, copy trading, and a backtest page. WolfBot's current FAQ says users can build or import logic, but the public pages do not document a general-purpose JavaScript strategy engine. That is a narrower and different extension model from Gunbot custom code.

Pricing and Product Variants​

The WolfBot pricing page offers a free partner trial, tailored Starter and Multi-Account quotes, and a Managed service with custom terms that may be performance-aligned. Request a quote for the service you need; the older wolfbot.org prices do not describe these plans.

Gunbot Unlimited costs $29/month and includes the complete toolkit, ongoing updates, unlimited connections within supported venues, custom strategies and a hosted or local workspace. Compare that subscription with your WolfBot quote, including any account limits and managed-service fees.

Best Fit​

Gunbot fits traders who want a local execution engine, local credential control, configurable crypto strategies, custom JavaScript, advanced testing, and a predictable product model.

Current WolfBot cloud fits users who want managed infrastructure, account-level monitoring/risk controls, visual strategy building, copy trading, or a unified crypto/MT5 workflow. WolfBot Community fits users who specifically want to run the separate free self-hosted edition. Confirm exchange, region, account eligibility, and commercial terms before connecting funds.

Verdict​

Gunbot suits traders who want local execution and custom JavaScript. WolfBot suits those who prefer managed infrastructure, visual strategy tools, account-level risk controls, copy trading or MT5 integration. WolfBot Community is a separate option if you want to run that product locally.
