Capability by capability
| Capability | PolyBot | Polymtrade |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | No Not live — 'Copy trading features' sits under Upcoming on the vendor roadmap at capture. |
| 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. | No Not applicable until copy trading ships. |
| 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. | Partial In-product leaderboard and AI-driven top-trader analysis; nothing tied to copy-following yet. |
| 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. | Unknown No rule engine documented; limit orders reported live as of v2.1 (third-party). |
| 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. | Unknown TP/SL absent from vendor docs and roadmap. |
| 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. | Unknown In-app redemption implied by a user review; automatic claiming undocumented. |
| 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 Standalone app; no group surfaces. |
| 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 Eight chains (Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, World Chain), five tokens auto-converted, plus MoonPay card/Apple Pay on-ramp and documented bank-account withdrawal. |
| 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 Leaderboard page plus AI top-trader analysis trained on 55k+ resolved markets (vendor marketing). |
| 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. | Yes Native iOS and Android apps plus a web app — the widest mobile-native footprint in this comparison. |
| Referral program | Yes Three-level referral program on trading fees (25% / 5% / 3% defaults), paid to balance with a ~$5 minimum claim. | Partial Roadmap lists a referral system as complete while the $PM page says referral rewards are coming soon — conflicting vendor statements. |

Shipped versus scheduled
The core of this comparison is tense: present versus future. PolyBot’s automation stack is live and documented across 27 guides — automatic wallet mirroring under a deep filter set, an Auto Trader for crypto Up/Down markets, take-profit, stop-loss and trailing exits, and background claiming of resolved winners. Polymtrade’s equivalent column is mostly aspiration: copy trading is filed under Upcoming on its own roadmap, TP/SL appears nowhere in its docs, and limit orders only landed with v2.1 according to third-party reporting. Anyone choosing Polymtrade for automation is buying a promise, not a product.
Where the mobile app genuinely leads
Polymtrade’s strengths are real and PolyBot doesn’t match them. It ships native iOS and Android apps — the widest mobile-native footprint we verified — behind the best funding rails in this comparison: eight deposit chains, a MoonPay card and Apple Pay on-ramp, and a documented path to withdraw to a bank account. Its 0.5% rate with covered gas is half PolyBot’s published 1%, and its 7,600 active users at rank 4 on Polymarket’s builders leaderboard represent the largest verified user base here. As a first touch with prediction markets from a phone, it’s the easier door.
The asterisks, sourced
The growth has caveats, each attributed. The iOS app sat at 2.6/5 at capture (a small ten-rating sample), with users publicly requesting basics. The zero-fee tier is gated behind a million units of the team’s $PM token — closer to a token-marketing device than a discount path. Vendor statements conflict on whether the referral system is complete or coming soon, and the App Store seller of record, Accunex Digital Ltd, doesn’t match public team descriptions. PolyBot’s ledger is cleaner on those axes — no token, one published fee, no incident reports — though its team, like most in this niche, is anonymous.
The pick
Someone who mainly wants to fund from a card and tap positions on a phone will be happier on Polymtrade — until they want automation, at which point it has nothing shipped. Anyone whose reason for using a tool is copying, exits, or claiming should start where those features already exist.

Frequently asked questions
Does Polymtrade have copy trading like PolyBot?
Not yet. Copy trading sits under Upcoming on Polymtrade's own roadmap at our July 2026 check, and no TP/SL is documented either — limit orders arrived only with v2.1 per third-party reporting. PolyBot's copy engine is live with sizing modes, odds-range filters, daily caps, and per-outcome limits.
Is Polymtrade cheaper than PolyBot?
On the sticker, yes: 0.5% per buy or sell with gas covered, against PolyBot's flat 1% with sponsored gas. Polymtrade's zero-fee tier requires holding one million $PM tokens — the team's Solana-launched utility token — which most users won't realistically reach. Neither tool charges a subscription.
Which is better for funding from a bank card?
Polymtrade, clearly. It documents a MoonPay card and Apple Pay on-ramp plus bank-account withdrawal on top of eight deposit chains — the best fiat rails we verified. PolyBot accepts crypto deposits from six chains from a $1 minimum but has no documented fiat on-ramp.
