How the pricing differs

On Bybot Basic the commission follows the result. If the bot earns $100 of realized profit in a month, the commission is 20%, or $20. If it earns $200, the commission stops at the $29 cap. If there is no profit, there is no commission.

On 3Commas you pay a fixed subscription whatever the bots earn: Starter costs $20 per month, or $15 per month when paid for a year. Higher plans add futures and more bots.

Which one costs less depends on how much your bots earn and how many you run. Work it out for your own deposit before you choose.
