Comparison

SignalKit vs the alternatives

Four common paths to running a trading-signals subscription business. Each one is the right answer for someone. This page lays out the trade-offs honestly.

Dimension	SignalKit	Whop	Cornix	Custom dev
Pricing model	One-time setup + flat monthly support, OR all-in monthly	Platform fee + 3–9% of every subscription	$60–$120 / month bot fee (no setup, no take rate)	$15–30k upfront + ongoing dev retainer
Custom branded domain	Yes — apex + www on day one	Available on paid plans; sub-route on hub-style URL	No native site (Telegram only)	Yes
PayPal subscriptions	Native, your merchant account	Whop is merchant of record; you receive a payout	Not built-in	Whatever you build
Telegram delivery + auto-kick	Native via chat_member webhook	Via Whop integrations	Native — Cornix's core feature	Build it yourself
Source code access	Full repo on self-hosted; managed exit gives you the export	No (SaaS)	No (SaaS)	Yes
Regulatory fit (FSP / FCA review)	Code on your infra; legal entity in BRAND_* env	Whop is merchant of record — adds reviewer questions	Bot-only; you still need your own site for compliance	Whatever you build
Time to live	3–7 business days	Hours, but no custom site	Hours, but Telegram-only	3–6 months
Performance dashboard	Native, equity curves + summary stats from your bot data	Limited (subscription metrics only)	Trade tracking via TradingView	Whatever you build
