TakeProfit vs StockCharts

TakeProfit lists one paid plan, All-In, at $20 per month or $120 per year, alongside a permanent free tier called Freeroll, while StockCharts lists Basic at $19.95, Extra at $29.95 and Pro at $49.95 per month on its pricing page. TakeProfit has no dedicated pricing page: its pricing, plans, subscription and upgrade URLs return HTTP 404, so its prices appear only in FAQ answers, and its Terms say the fee depends on promotions, location and payment method. StockCharts gives a 13th month free on 12 months prepaid and a free first paid month, with trial accounts starting at Extra. TakeProfit's trial wording differs between pages: the homepage promises 30 days to every new account, while the Terms say a trial is offered only to some users. StockCharts sells real-time data separately at $9.95 per month for each of the US, Canada and UK. The billing bases differ, so no price winner is declared. Figures come from the vendors' own pages, last checked in October 2026.

StockCharts has no indicator scripting language: custom scans are written in a text scan syntax of up to 8,000 characters, and ACP plug-ins sold in the StockCharts Marketplace extend the charts instead of user-coded indicators. TakeProfit scripts in Indie, described as a dialect of Python with decorators such as @indicator and @algorithm, executed server-side in the cloud, and its 80+ built-in indicators are written in Indie. TakeProfit runs in the browser with no installation, and its docs say mobile use is through a mobile browser with no separate app, while its Terms of Use mention mobile applications, so the vendor's own pages disagree. StockCharts offers StockChartsACP, a full-screen web tool with up to twelve chart panels, a mobile-friendly site and an iOS app. TakeProfit charting uses a proprietary in-house WebGL2 engine, and the vendor states it is not an embedded TradingView chart. Figures come from the vendors' own pages, last checked in October 2026.

TakeProfit's All-In plan includes up to 400 non-expiring cloud alerts, while its Freeroll tier allows 1 alert valid for 3 months. StockCharts allows 2 price alerts on Basic, 100 on Extra and 500 on Pro, with none on the free level, although its Support Center says Extra can have 200, so its pages differ. StockCharts alerts notify by email, text or a workbench banner, and TakeProfit alerts by Telegram, webhooks, email or in-platform pop-ups. TakeProfit's own latency figures conflict: feature pages claim under 100 ms, while the FAQ gives about 300 ms typically and up to about 1 second, and says this is a measurement and not a guaranteed delivery time. For history, StockCharts' pricing table starts daily data in 1980 for Basic and Extra and in 1900 for Pro, other help pages differ, and intraday 1 to 15 minute charts go back 20 days. TakeProfit lists 5,000 bars per chart on Freeroll and 20,000 on All-In. Figures come from the vendors' pages, last checked in October 2026.

StockCharts has no backtesting: none was found on its pricing, features or scan help pages, and the nearest feature is a Starting Date Adjuster that runs a scan against a chosen past day. Its saved scans number 1 on Basic, 200 on Extra and 500 on Pro, its ChartLists 1, 250 and 500 with up to 1,000 charts each, and the Scan Engine uses daily, weekly or monthly bars only, not intraday. TakeProfit includes a built-in strategy tester that runs backtests on up to 20,000 candles, and no bar-replay or paper-trading feature was found on the pages checked. TakeProfit's stock screener covers about 5,000 US stocks on fundamentals and price data. Indie scripts produce chart analysis and alerts, and live trading from a script goes through webhook alerts to external brokers or bots. StockCharts' free level includes no scans, alerts or multi-chart layouts. Figures come from the vendors' own pages, last checked in October 2026.

StockCharts covers US exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, Amex, BATS), Canadian exchanges (TSX, TSX-Venture, CSE, NEO), the London Stock Exchange and India's NSE, plus indexes, cryptocurrencies, currencies, commodities and futures. Beyond the free data plan, which gives BATS real-time for US stocks and delayed data elsewhere, real-time data costs $9.95 per month per region. For trading it links charts to Tradier Brokerage, with unlimited options for a flat $25 per month, and states it is not a broker. TakeProfit claims 5,000+ instruments and 70+ crypto exchanges, but only some exchanges, such as Binance and Bybit, are direct feeds and the rest come through a third-party aggregator; its Terms describe the platform as tools for personal cryptocurrency holdings, so its pages differ in scope. TakeProfit integrates Bybit natively, lists US stocks through Lime Trading widgets, offers Market and Limit orders, and describes Binance and Exness support as in development. Figures come from the vendors' pages, last checked in October 2026.

StockCharts is operated by StockCharts.Com, Inc. of Redmond, Washington, under Terms governed by Washington State law; its homepage cites more than 25 years in financial charting, and its About page names Chip Anderson as founder and president. TakeProfit's Terms of Use name Takeprofit Systems Ltd, a British Virgin Islands business company, as the contracting entity under BVI law, while the homepage footer shows TakeProfit Inc, so the vendor's pages differ on the entity name. No founding year was found for TakeProfit, and no regulatory licence or register number was found on its Terms or homepage. Its Terms state that it does not hold user funds or execute trades on behalf of users, and its exchange API keys carry no withdrawal permission. StockCharts states it is not a broker and that its content is not investment advice; it offers no service-level guarantee, and compensation after an outage is discretionary.
