PolyBot vs Bullpen (2026): which one wins?
Both tools last verified · methodology · changelog
Bullpen puts Polymarket in the same terminal as Solana tokens and Hyperliquid perps, backed by the only public bug bounty and CLI we verified; PolyBot stakes everything on prediction markets and out-builds it there — exits, auto-claim, group discovery, and a fee that's actually published.
Capability by capability
| Capability | PolyBot | Bullpen |
|---|---|---|
| Copy trading | Yes Mirrors chosen wallets automatically (up to 3 active copy subscriptions per wallet); sells are copied proportionally — the same percentage of the position, not the same dollar amount. | Yes Copy trading of Polymarket wallets with Auto (immediate) or Confirm (approval-gated) execution; also exposed in the CLI. |
| Copy filters & sizing controls | Yes The deepest documented filter set we verified: fixed or proportional sizing (0.01x–10x), odds-range filters (e.g. only 20–80¢ outcomes), daily spending caps, per-trade min/max, per-outcome purchase limits, slippage tolerance, market-expiry filters, leader trade-size thresholds, and category white/blacklists with Sports and Crypto subcategories. | Yes Fixed or %-of-balance allocation with per-market caps ($5 minimum), share-price range filter (default 5–95¢), skip markets resolving within 24h/7d/30d, min/max trade size, slippage presets or custom. |
| Analytics on followed wallets | Yes Per-subscription performance view: realized/unrealized PnL, positions, win/loss and win rate, plus a 3-day log of executed, skipped, and failed copies. | Yes Followed-trader dashboards (lifetime PnL, biggest win, totals), real-time tracker feed, filtering by trader P&L, volume, and size. |
| Strategy automation | Yes Auto Trader for crypto Up/Down markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, HYPE across 5m–24h timeframes) with entry-price and momentum trigger modes and multiple entry rules per strategy; Algo Lab listed as coming soon. | Partial No rule engine for predictions (limit/market only); auto-sell options on copies; DCA/limit tooling on token venues; CLI ships AI-agent skills for building autonomous workflows. |
| Take-profit / stop-loss / trailing | Yes Take-profit and stop-loss (fixed price or % from entry) plus trailing stops (% or fixed cents below the highest observed price), with market-stop and stop-limit execution modes. Docs honestly note a stop-loss is a trigger plus an execution attempt, not a guaranteed maximum loss. | No No TP/SL/trailing on prediction markets per docs — a notable gap for a copy-trading product. |
| Auto-claim resolved positions | Yes Background auto-claim redeems eligible winning positions to tradable balance and clears losing shares after resolution (off by default, not instant); the Mini App adds bulk claim. | No Redemption is manual (click Redeem and sign); no redemption fee. |
| In-group Telegram trading | Partial Group bot brings market search and interactive market cards into any Telegram group with Trade buttons; execution itself happens in DM — groups are for discovery and sharing. None of the top-tier bots we verified ship an equivalent group surface. | No No group-trading surface; Discord is community only. |
| Cross-chain deposits | Yes Deposits from Polygon, Solana, Base, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and BNB route into a tradable balance on Polygon; supported networks and minimums are shown in a live picker. | Yes Funding via fun.xyz: external wallets, exchanges, card, Apple/Google Pay, ACH/wire; USDC.e on Polygon for predictions. |
| Wallet discovery & leaderboards | Yes Discovery leaderboard (profit/volume over 24h–all-time), Smart Wallet scoring with copyability assessment and suggested copy margin, and a standalone web Wallet Analyzer covering any Polymarket wallet end-to-end. | Yes Smart Money suite: leaderboards, trader profiles, whale tracking, convergence signals when multiple smart wallets align, alerts. |
| Platform surface | Yes Telegram bot plus a full Telegram Mini App (same account and wallet, 9 languages) plus a website with the Wallet Analyzer. Docs cover 27 guides including parlays, competitions, alerts, and presets. | Partial Web app (mobile-web capable) plus a beta CLI for macOS/Linux/Windows-WSL2; no native mobile, Telegram, or Mini App. |
| Referral program | Yes Three-level referral program on trading fees (25% / 5% / 3% defaults), paid to balance with a ~$5 minimum claim. | Yes Three-tier: 40% / 9% / 3% of trading fees, plus a points program and 10% fee discount for referred users. |

One venue deep or three venues wide
Bullpen’s pitch is horizontal: a single Turnkey-secured account trading Solana tokens, Hyperliquid perps, and Polymarket, with a Smart Money suite spanning all of it and a beta CLI that ships AI-agent skills for scripted workflows — the only command-line surface we verified anywhere in this niche. PolyBot’s pitch is vertical: Polymarket alone, taken further than anyone. Both run real copy engines with documented filters — Bullpen offers allocation modes, a 5–95¢ price band, resolution-window skips, size bounds, and Auto or Confirm execution — but PolyBot’s matrix goes further, adding daily spending caps, per-outcome purchase limits, leader trade-size thresholds, and category subfilters Bullpen doesn’t document.
Positions after entry: the widest gap
Copying gets money in; the divergence is what happens next. Bullpen’s docs show no take-profit, no stop-loss, and no trailing exit on prediction positions — a conspicuous hole in a copy-trading product — and winning shares are redeemed manually, one Redeem click and signature at a time. PolyBot attaches any of three exit types to manual or copied positions, including trailing stops, and its background auto-claim converts resolved winners to tradable balance without a prompt. There is no group surface on Bullpen either; PolyBot’s group bot puts searchable market cards inside Telegram chats, with execution completing in DM.
Costs you can quote versus costs you must test
PolyBot’s price is one sentence: a published flat 1% on successful trades, gas sponsored, deposits from $1. Bullpen documents that makers pay nothing and that Polymarket’s category taker fees pass through — genuinely fair mechanics — yet never explicitly states whether it adds its own builder fee on prediction trades, an ambiguity its otherwise thorough docs leave open. Credit where it’s earned: Bullpen runs the only public bug-bounty program in this comparison, and third-party reporting names its founding team and institutional backers, though the vendor hasn’t confirmed either.
Where each trader lands
A trader whose portfolio spans memecoins, perps, and predictions gets real leverage from Bullpen’s single account and CLI. A trader who came for Polymarket specifically gives up exits, auto-claim, group discovery, and fee certainty by choosing breadth — and that trade only makes sense if the other venues are actually used.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bullpen have stop-losses on Polymarket positions?
No — per its docs there is no take-profit, stop-loss, or trailing exit on prediction markets, and redemption is manual (click Redeem and sign). PolyBot documents all three exit types, including trailing stops in percent or fixed cents, plus background auto-claim of resolved winners.
What does Bullpen charge on Polymarket compared to PolyBot?
Bullpen's docs pass through Polymarket's category taker fees (makers never pay; geopolitics free), but whether Bullpen adds its own builder fee on prediction trades is not explicitly stated — the main transparency gap we found. PolyBot publishes a flat 1% on successful trades with sponsored gas.
Is Bullpen or PolyBot more secure?
Both document non-custodial models with key export: Bullpen on Turnkey infrastructure with user-signed EIP-712 orders and the only public bug-bounty program in our comparison; PolyBot with a self-custodial Polygon Safe plus optional 2FA on withdrawals and export, which Bullpen doesn't document. Neither has reported incidents.
