Bitsgap works the range. anvas decides when the range is over.
Probably the best-tuned grid implementation in crypto, running since 2017. A grid is a bet on a regime — so the interesting question is what your strategy does when that regime ends.
Five preset bot types — GRID, DCA, futures, Buy the Dip and COMBO — configured per instance.
One canvas. A grid is a behaviour a branch can switch into, not a product you buy separately.
Bitsgap pricing from USD 23/month, no free tier. 7-day trial of the top tier; no permanent free plan for live bots. Checked 2026-08-27; verify before relying on it.
What Bitsgap is
Bitsgap has been building bots since 2017 and its grid implementation is probably the best-tuned in the category. You get five bot types — GRID, DCA, futures, Buy the Dip and COMBO — each with genuinely thorough configuration: order intervals, expanded take-profit rules, stop-loss logic, drawdown protection. The COMBO bot extends grid behaviour onto leveraged futures.
If your view is "this pair is going to chop sideways for a while", Bitsgap is a very good way to express that view.
Where it stops
A grid bot is a bet on a regime. It makes money while price oscillates inside your range, and it stops making money the moment the range ends. Every grid trader knows this. It is why the anxious part of running a grid is not the setup — it is the watching.
Bitsgap gives you a stop-loss for that. A stop-loss is a blunt instrument: it answers "get me out" but not "do something else instead". What you usually want is closer to:
Work this range. If price closes outside it and the trend confirms on the higher timeframe, stop gridding and ladder into the new direction instead. If volatility collapses to nothing, stop and wait.
That is three behaviours and two switches. On Bitsgap it is one bot with a stop-loss, plus a second bot you start manually afterwards, plus your attention.
The deeper constraint is the same one across the category: a bot type is a fixed behaviour. You configure it, you do not compose it. There is nowhere to put the sentence "if this, then behave differently".
What anvas does differently
In anvas a grid is not a product — it is a behaviour that part of a graph performs, and behaviours sit behind conditions.
A regime switch is a node. It reads whatever you want it to read: an ATR reading collapsing, a close outside the range, a trend filter on the daily. On one branch the graph works the range. On the other it ladders. The switch happens inside the strategy, at the moment the condition is true, not when you next open the app. The full walkthrough is DCA in a downtrend, grid in a range.
The same structure covers the quieter cases too — pausing when volatility dies, tightening the grid when it expands, refusing to re-enter after a certain number of losses on the day.
The actual question
If you want a grid bot, buy a grid bot — Bitsgap makes a better one than a first-time canvas user will assemble.
If what you actually want is a strategy that knows the range ended and does something sensible about it without waiting for you, that is a different product, and that is this one.
