Verdict
you already pay for one, you're comfortable checking the Pine Script version and pasting compiler errors back yourself, or you need languages Edgoro doesn't write. Both have free plans.
you want every script in Pine Script v6 with inputs, alerts and install steps without writing the prompt rules yourself, MQL5 Expert Advisors compiled in MetaEditor before delivery, and every version saved.

What each tool is
ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Claude (Anthropic) are general-purpose AI assistants. They can write Pine Script, MQL5, Python and almost any other language, explain code, and read images you upload. Both have free plans; Claude Pro is $20 a month ($17 a month billed yearly), and ChatGPT sells Go, Plus and Pro plans.
Edgoro turns a plain-English description into a TradingView indicator or strategy in Pine Script v6, and analyses chart screenshots. MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors in MQL5 and Python crypto bots are an option on top of a plan; each EA is compiled in MetaEditor before you get it, with up to two automatic fixes. It launched in November 2026 and is built by a small company in France. Plans are Pro Monthly at $29 a month or Lifetime at $49 once.
Where ChatGPT and Claude are stronger
- Free to start, and you may already pay for one. No extra subscription for occasional scripts.
- Any language, any question. Pine Script, MQL4, MQL5, EasyLanguage, NinjaScript, Python, plus general explanations and debugging help. Edgoro writes Pine Script v6, MQL5 and Python only.
- Flexibility. You control the conversation completely, which suits experienced coders who know exactly what to ask.
Where Edgoro is different
- Pine Script v6, every time. General chatbots don't fix a version. TradersPost's April 2026 review reports that ChatGPT often returns v5 syntax even when asked for v6, and that most AI tools default to v5 or v4 unless you name a version. Edgoro starts every script with
//@version=6, avoids deprecated v4 and v5 calls, useslookahead_offfor higher-timeframe data and adds onealertcondition()per signal. - A compile check for bots. Edgoro compiles each MQL5 Expert Advisor in MetaEditor and checks Python bots with py_compile, sending errors back to the AI automatically (up to two fixes). With a chatbot you copy compiler output back by hand. For Pine Script, both rely on TradingView's Pine Editor.
- The trading parts are already in the answer: inputs for every setting, alerts, install steps for TradingView or MetaTrader 5, risk inputs and a daily-loss stop in every bot, paper mode for crypto bots.
- Every version saved in a library with copy and download, instead of scrolling back through a chat.
If you use a chatbot, do this
- Say "Pine Script version 6" in the first message and check that the script starts with
//@version=6. - Name every setting you want as an input, and every alert you want.
- Paste the exact compiler error back, one at a time, rather than describing it.
- Ask it to avoid future data in
request.security()to limit repainting. - Test the result on several charts and on a demo account before relying on it.
For a quick v6 script without an account, Edgoro's free Pine Script generator writes 3 a month, and the Pine Script error fixer explains and fixes TradingView errors.
Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT write Pine Script v6?
Yes, if you ask for it explicitly and check the result. The version isn't fixed, so confirm the script starts with //@version=6 and paste any TradingView error back for a fix.
Is Claude or ChatGPT better for Pine Script?
We don't rank them. Both can write Pine Script and MQL5, and both need the same checks: the Pine Script version, compile errors in TradingView or MetaEditor, and a test on demo before real money.
Why pay for Edgoro if ChatGPT is free?
For the rules and checks around the AI: v6 every time, inputs, alerts and install steps in every answer, MQL5 compiled in MetaEditor with automatic fixes, and saved versions. If you only need an occasional script and don't mind checking it yourself, a free chatbot or Edgoro's free generator may be enough.
