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.

Current WolfBot is explicitly a managed cloud platform. Its official pages require trade-only API access, disable withdrawals, and state that funds remain at the user's exchange or broker. This is non-custodial in the funds sense, but the trading connection depends on WolfBot's hosted infrastructure. WolfBot Community is the local alternative. Do not describe current WolfBot as purely self-hosted.

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 current WolfBot pricing page separates a free partner trial, Starter, Multi-Account, and Managed service paths. Starter and Multi-Account are tailored quotes; Managed uses custom terms and may be performance-aligned. The old wolfbot.org affiliate page lists $90/month and $700/year, but those legacy numbers should not be presented as current wolfbot.io retail pricing.

Gunbot Unlimited is $29/month, with complete feature access, ongoing updates, unlimited supported-venue connections, custom strategy workflows, and a hosted-or-local workspace. Compare commercial terms directly rather than claiming WolfBot has a fixed bot/volume limit or assuming the legacy price still applies.

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 is the stronger fit for users who prioritize local execution and code-level crypto strategy control. WolfBot is compelling when managed infrastructure, visual rules, account-level risk, copy trading, or MT5 integration matter more. The comparison should use wolfbot.io's current model and keep it separate from the legacy wolfbot.org product.
