Automation-first platform versus unified trading terminal with focused bots.
Altrady has stronger current legal and permission transparency; 3Commas provides more automation modes and exchange-oriented bot tooling. The 2022 3Commas incident remains a material differentiator.

Features and target users
The scores are comparable; the workflows are not identical.
3Commas
The platform covers DCA, Grid and Signal automation with backtesting, paper trading and many exchange connections. Feature depth is a strength, but it increases configuration and operational risk.
Best aligned with- Experienced multi-exchange automation users
- Traders who need DCA, Grid and Signal workflows together
Altrady
Altrady is primarily a multi-exchange terminal with focused Grid and Signal automation, scanners and backtesting rather than dozens of specialized bot types.
Best aligned with- Multi-exchange manual and automated traders
- Users combining scanners with Grid or Signal bots
Security and custody
Permissions and architecture matter more than security slogans.
3Commas
3Commas is non-custodial in the sense that connected funds stay at the exchange, but trading API keys remain powerful credentials. Official documentation says withdrawal permission is unnecessary and describes an isolated signing system. The 2022 key exposure materially limits confidence until users can review current independent assurance.
Security score 62/100Altrady
Altrady documents a thoughtful cloud API model, including client-side encryption, encrypted server storage, IP restrictions, read-only mode and 2FA.
