Gunbot Review

How Gunbot scores in trading tools

Gunbot is downloadable bot software: the trading core runs on your own computer or server and trades through API keys stored there, not on a provider's cloud. This entry rates it in our crypto trading tools ranking. The basis is desk research of Gunbot's plans page, how-it-works page, supported-exchanges and risk FAQs, about page and privacy page, checked on November 6, 2026. The software was not installed 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: (8 + 10 + 9 + 7 + 4) / 5 = 38 / 5 = 7.6, down from 8.2 at the July 24, 2026 check. Three marks moved. Pricing transparency fell from 10 to 8 because Gunbot has replaced the one-time lifetime licenses the earlier review described (Standard, Pro and DeFi at €199, €299 and €499) with a single subscription. Its plans page prices the monthly option in euros and the prepaid options in dollars and states no trial or refund terms. Two marks were reset under the category's scale rules of November 6, 2026. Venue coverage rose from 8 to 9, because a named list of more than 20 venues cannot score below Altrady's 19 and Bitsgap's 16, both marked 9. Security posture fell from 9 to 7, because security is now marked on the number of disclosed controls and Gunbot discloses two.

Strongest criteria

Keys stay on your machine (10)

Gunbot's how-it-works page says API credentials remain stored locally and that withdrawal access is never needed; the bot only reads market data and places trades. Because the trading core runs on hardware you control, no bot provider holds a copy of your exchange secrets. That is why custody takes the category maximum, which is kept for tools that never hold a key or technically reject withdrawal-enabled ones. The trade-off is that securing the computer or VPS becomes your job: a compromised machine exposes the keys on it.

Wide coverage, including derivatives (9)

The supported-exchanges FAQ lists spot venues such as Binance, Coinbase Advanced, Kraken, KuCoin and MEXC; futures on Binance Futures, BitMEX, dYdX and Kraken Futures; and both on Bybit, Bitget and OKX. The plan also includes DeFi and arbitrage trading and MetaTrader and NinjaTrader integrations, with broker access sold separately. More than 20 named exchanges is more than Altrady's 19 or Bitsgap's 16, so the mark is 9, level with both; the plans page notes that exchange restrictions still apply.

Weakest criteria

Security: local keys, few stated controls (7)

Running the core on your own hardware is itself a key-protection design, and Gunbot's guidance is to review key scopes, withdrawal permissions, IP allowlists and rotation before connecting live funds. Those are two of the six controls the category's security scale counts: local-only key storage and IP locking. Two controls score 7, level with Altrady and BonkBot. No two-factor login, bug bounty or independent audit is published, and the optional hosted workspace at live.gunbot.com is described only as a way to connect to and monitor your instance, not in terms of what it stores.

Entity: a deficiency, not something we missed (4)

The about page, footer and plans page say Gunbot is published by Gunthar de Niro S.L.R. None of the pages we checked gives a registered address, country, registration number or any named person, and we found no terms of service linked from the site. A buyer cannot tell which law governs the purchase or who to hold to account. The mark is unchanged: a name with no jurisdiction sits above Banana Gun's 2 (no entity named), below Trojan's 5 (a name and governing law) and well below the 8 given to Coinrule, Cryptohopper and 3Commas for a name, number and jurisdiction.

Pricing: clear plan, missing terms (8)

The single Unlimited plan includes every feature, with no per-trade or per-pair software charge, and the prepaid options state that they do not renew. The marks are lost on what is missing. The monthly price is shown in euros and the prepaid ones in dollars, no refund or trial policy is stated, and the plans page does not show the upgrade price for legacy lifetime-license holders. Community strategies are sold separately by their developers.

What the score does not cover

The score measures published disclosure. It does not measure strategy returns, backtest accuracy, software stability or support quality, and none were tested. Gunbot's own risk FAQ lists software bugs, connection drops and wrong parameters among the ways a bot can lose money, and the bot trades only while the machine running it is online. Exchange fees, a VPS and any AI provider you connect are extra; our guide to position sizing and limiting losses applies directly to bot settings.

Gunbot vs Coinrule and Altrady

Coinrule scores 8.0, 0.4 points ahead. It trails Gunbot on pricing (7 against 8), custody (9 against 10) and coverage (8 against 9), but leads on security (8 against 7) and clearly on entity (8 against 4). Altrady scores 8.4, 0.8 points ahead. It ties Gunbot on coverage (9) and security (7), trails on custody (9 against 10) and leads on pricing (9 against 8) and entity (8 against 4). Gunbot's 7.6, seventh of ten, rests on its self-hosted model and venue list; its anonymous publisher is what holds it below the leaders.

Who it suits

On these marks, Gunbot suits technically confident traders who want spot and futures automation without handing a trading key to a cloud provider, and who can keep a machine secure and online. It suits less well anyone who wants to know which company sells the software, under what law, or what happens if they ask for a refund.
