▸ Compare · BitGuard vs altFINS

altFINS finds signals.
BitGuard explains your holdings.

altFINS is strong for active traders: chart patterns, RSI/MACD screening, trading signals, push alerts, and research across many coins. BitGuard is different: Guardian AI explains why your actual portfolio moved, using your positions, CEX + wallet data, ETF-flow context, news, and live market data.

01 / 06 Signals versus context

altFINS tells you what screened.
BitGuard tells you why your portfolio moved.

Screeners are useful when you are searching the market. BitGuard is useful when the question is about your own exposure: the assets you hold, the P&L you see, and the news or flows that explain it.

#1 · AI on actual holdings

The question starts from your portfolio, not a generic chart.

Guardian AI knows the positions you connect. That means explanations can reference your real exposure instead of returning generic market commentary for coins you may not own.

#2 · Portfolio integrations

CEX + wallets + CSV + manual entries.

BitGuard is built around the messy source mix most crypto traders actually have. Signals are useful, but your real balances and transaction context matter more when explaining P&L.

#3 · Conversational follow-up

Ask why, what changed, and where the risk is.

A screener returns candidates. Guardian AI lets you drill into your own holdings: which asset drove the move, what news changed, what macro/ETF context matters, and which source has a discrepancy.

#4 · Honest boundary

Not a chart-pattern scanner.

altFINS wins when you need RSI/MACD screening, chart pattern recognition, broad signal discovery, or trading strategy workflows. BitGuard wins when the workflow is portfolio explanation and monitoring.

03 / 06 Pricing

Signal platform or portfolio intelligence?
Both can coexist.

The choice is less about who has more charts and more about where your daily workflow starts.

altFINS

  • Best for: active traders screening the market for technical setups
  • Strong in chart patterns, RSI/MACD, trading signals, watchlists, and research workflows
  • Useful when the goal is finding new trade candidates across many coins
  • Not primarily built around explaining your connected portfolio sources

BitGuard

  • Best for: understanding and monitoring positions you already hold
  • Free at launch: Guardian AI + Daily Report + Smart Alerts included
  • Founder lifetime: first 500 paid seats lock Pro EUR 9.99/mo or Elite EUR 24.99/mo
  • CEX + wallet + CSV aggregation, Guardian AI, and mobile-first context
What "founder lifetime" actually means: the first 500 people on the waitlist who convert to a paid tier post-launch lock that price for life. Once the cap fills, the standard price applies. Free at launch is for everyone. The lifetime rate is for the first 500.

06 / 06 Structural promises

A signal is useful.
Context decides whether it matters to you.

BitGuard is built around relevance to your own holdings, not generic market discovery.

No data resale — ever

Your wallet addresses and transaction history are never sold, shared, or used to train external models. Not a data brokerage.

EU-hosted backend

Railway EU (Amsterdam). GDPR-native by default, not as a regional adapter. Your data doesn't cross the Atlantic.

Direct support, hours not days

Real human at the other end. Not a ticket queue, not an offshore script reader.

No ads — at any tier

Free at launch. Paid post-launch. Either way, zero ads, zero upsell popups, zero "premium locked" overlays inside the app.

5 languages, native

Italian, English, Spanish, French, German — interface, Daily Report, and Guardian. Not Google-translated.

Built for EU regulation

Designed with EU regulatory constraints in mind. Guardian's outputs carry a disclaimer; alerts use descriptive language only — no buy/sell prescriptions.

Weekly build log, public roadmap, kill criteria documented. You see what's being built and why.
