A Pionex Alternative That Runs
On Your Own Exchange
Pionex bots are genuinely free — but they only run on Pionex, which means moving your funds to their exchange first. Blitz is free too. Open your exchange account through the Blitz partner link on Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin, BingX or Bitget — your money never moves, and partner-link accounts get 20–40% of eligible trading fees back. BingX works only with partner-link accounts.

Why pay more to run DCA?
If a laddered DCA setup is what you would run anyway, Blitz runs it with no subscription. Open your exchange account through a Blitz partner link and 20–40% of your trading fees come back to you. Nothing to unlock, nothing to cancel.
When Pionex is the better fit
If you are comfortable holding funds on Pionex and want to experiment across many bot types — grid, arbitrage, rebalancing — on one venue, Pionex is a broad all-in-one option. Blitz is instead a DCA bot for futures and spot that runs on a supported exchange account you control, with multiple ready-to-run T-DCA presets you can copy and edit, or you can build your own DCA ladder. Its published U75 result is historical, not a promise of future returns.
Frequently asked questions
Pionex bots are free — so what does Blitz add?
Blitz runs on a supported exchange account you control, while Pionex bots require funds on Pionex. Blitz also returns 20–40% of eligible trading fees. Choose from multiple ready-to-run T-DCA strategies, copy and edit one, or build your own. The reported U75 historical result applies only to the exact published preset.
Is moving funds to Pionex actually a risk?
Any custodial venue is a counterparty. Concentrating funds on a smaller exchange purely to access its bots is a trade-off many traders prefer to avoid. Blitz runs on a supported exchange account you control: it trades through revocable, trade-only API access, and withdrawal permission is never requested.
Can I run Blitz without any exchange account?
You need an account on one of the supported exchanges (Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin, BingX, Bitget) or a wallet for Hyperliquid. If you sign up through a Blitz partner link you also unlock the fee cashback track — connecting takes one OAuth click on Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin or Bitget, with no API keys to create; BingX uses a manual API key and Hyperliquid uses your own wallet.
Does Blitz have grid bots like Pionex?
Blitz does not offer Pionex’s range of Grid, arbitrage, and rebalancing bots. It is a DCA bot for futures and spot, with multiple ready-to-run T-DCA presets you can copy and edit, or you can build your own DCA ladder. You can backtest your settings free in the app (long setups), with no plan-gated lookback and no monthly run quota. Results depend on the selected parameters, and custom setups are not covered by the reported U75 result.
Judge it by its fills, not its pitch
Open your exchange account through the Blitz partner link, connect, and watch the bot work. No subscription to cancel later — there is none.
