Cryptohopper Review

How Cryptohopper scores in trading tools

Cryptohopper is a cloud-hosted bot that places orders in a centralized exchange account you connect; funds stay on the exchange. This entry rates it in our crypto trading tools ranking. The basis is desk research of Cryptohopper's pricing page, exchanges page, terms of service, help center, security bounty page and its 2022 incident notice, checked on November 6, 2026. No account was opened and no key was connected. The category has five criteria, each marked 0 to 10 and weighted equally, as set out in our ratings methodology.

The overall score is the plain average: (9 + 9 + 7 + 9 + 8) / 5 = 42 / 5 = 8.4, up from 8.0 at the July 24, 2026 check. Three marks moved. Venue coverage rose from 6 to 7, because Cryptohopper's exchanges page now names each supported venue rather than giving only a count. The earlier review's "16+ exchanges" figure is not supported by any current Cryptohopper page and has been dropped. Two marks were reset under the category's scale rules of November 6, 2026. Security posture rose from 7 to 9, because security is now marked on the number of disclosed controls and Cryptohopper discloses four. Custody & API safety moved from 10 to 9, the mark every tool that holds a trade-only key on its servers now gets.

Strongest criteria

No withdrawal rights, stated plainly (9)

The pricing page's FAQ says funds stay on the exchange and that Cryptohopper "will never ask for withdrawal rights." The fund-safety article repeats the instruction not to enable withdrawals when creating a key. On several exchanges, Fast Connect uses an OAuth2 login instead of a pasted key. That is the arrangement the rubric scores highest for a cloud bot, and the mark is the same 9 that Altrady, Coinrule and 3Commas get for it. It stops below 10 because Cryptohopper holds a trading credential on its servers and does not state that it rejects withdrawal-enabled keys, as Bitsgap does.

Security: four disclosed controls, one gap (9)

Cryptohopper's fund-safety article recommends 2FA on both accounts, keys without withdrawal rights, and whitelisting Cryptohopper's IP addresses so a key works only from its servers. New-device logins are confirmed by an emailed code. A security bounty page sets out scope, severity priorities and a reporting address, though no payout amounts. Cryptohopper also published a notice in June 2022 that SQL injection against its website API exposed names, usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords; it said API keys were not obtained and asked users to rotate passwords and keys. Of the six controls the category's security scale counts, four are disclosed: IP whitelisting, 2FA, a published bug bounty and a disclosed, handled incident. Four controls score 9, the highest security mark in the ranking. The gap is key storage: we found no Cryptohopper statement on how stored API keys are encrypted, and no independent audit or penetration test, so the mark stops short of 10.

Pricing in full (9)

Explorer, Adventurer and Hero cost $29, $69 and $129 a month, or $24.16, $57.50 and $107.50 a month on annual billing. The page gives each plan's limits on coins, open positions per exchange and strategy interval, and says prices exclude VAT. Copy Bots are priced separately at $9.99 to $99.99 a month. The terms give a 14-day right to withdraw from a subscription, and the help center describes the same window for refunds, so the cost and the exit are both clear before paying. The mark stops short of 10 because Copy Bot prices are set by sellers and App Store prices differ slightly from the website.

A named Dutch company (8)

The terms give the legal name, Chamber of Commerce number, registered office and governing law. That is the same name, number and jurisdiction standard that gives Coinrule, 3Commas and Bitsgap an 8.

Weakest criterion

Coverage: named, but spot-only (7)

The exchanges page lists Binance, Binance.US, BingX, BitMart, Bitvavo, Coinbase Advanced, Crypto.com, HTX, Kraken, KuCoin and OKX as available. The page's own structured data says 10, a small inconsistency. Futures are not supported, and there is no stock broker or on-chain trading. That is narrower than Coinrule's 13 exchanges plus brokers (8) or Bitsgap's named list (9).

What the score does not cover

The score measures published disclosure. It does not measure bot returns, Marketplace strategy quality, fills or uptime, and none of these were tested. Cryptohopper's help center says it "never guarantees profits." Exchange trading fees are paid on every order on top of the subscription; our guide to maker, taker and spread costs explains them. The terms cap Cryptohopper's liability at $1,000 or the fees paid in the previous six months, whichever is lower, and do not list restricted countries: access depends on the connected exchange.

Cryptohopper vs Coinrule and 3Commas

Coinrule scores 8.0, 0.4 points behind. It matches Cryptohopper on custody (9) and entity (8), trails on pricing (7 against 9) and security (8 against 9), and leads on coverage (8 against 7). 3Commas also scores 8.4 and is listed ahead of Cryptohopper because ties are alphabetical. It has the same pricing (9), custody (9) and entity (8) marks, lower security (8 against 9) and higher coverage (8 against 7). Cryptohopper's 8.4, fourth of ten, rests on pricing, custody and security; a wider venue list is the clearest route to a higher score.

Who it suits

On these marks, Cryptohopper suits spot traders on one of its 11 listed exchanges who want a subscription bot with a fixed price, a 14-day exit and keys that cannot withdraw. It suits less well anyone who needs futures, a wider venue list, or a documented account of how stored API keys are protected.
