Different operating models
| Area | OpenAlgo's published repository | QuantPower |
|---|---|---|
| Software model | Free, self-hosted, open-source platform under the AGPL-3.0 licence | Commercial trading software with monthly and yearly plans |
| Brokers | More than 30 broker integrations listed in the repository | 100+ Indian brokers, including Wisdom Capital, Zerodha, Upstox, Fyers and IIFL Capital |
| Build workflows | Python strategy hosting and a visual, no-code Flow builder | No-code strategy builder with every rule visible (white-box), open sample strategies, and Quanty (AI Trade Buddy) to help build your own rules |
| AI and tools | README documents a built-in AI agent and an MCP server | Quanty and Quanty MCP (MCP): your own AI assistant prepares orders, and each one waits for your confirmation |
| Research and testing | Repository describes Analyzer Mode (a sandbox with simulated capital) and twelve options and market-analysis tools | Backtesting, Forward test (paper trading), option chain and Arth.live chart |
| Trading controls | README says every order from its AI agent pauses for your approval | Algos run fully automated once you switch them on, or as one-touch algos; Quanty MCP orders wait for your confirmation |
| Operating responsibility | You deploy and maintain the installation and its integrations | Runs inside your broker's infrastructure where the broker hosts QuantPower, or with your own static IP |
Cost is more than a licence
OpenAlgo's software is free under its open-source licence. That does not make a server, broker API access, market data, AI usage or maintenance free. Review the licence and your operating requirements directly with the project.
QuantPower is sold as monthly plans, with yearly billing also offered. See current plans and prices.
We did not compare daily AI questions, file processing, voice usage or MCP limits across both products. The OpenAlgo repository describes capabilities, but a feature description does not prove that a particular installation, account or broker is connected.
Decide against your own workflow
List the rules you need to express, the brokers and data you are entitled to use, and who will operate the installation. Test error handling and availability before depending on either platform. OpenAlgo suits traders comfortable running and maintaining their own server and code; QuantPower suits traders who want ready software that runs inside their broker's infrastructure or on their own static IP.
