The Pineify alternative for traders who already use an AI assistant
Pineify is a hosted AI workspace: a coding agent with monthly AI credits, a visual Pine Script editor and code generation for several platforms, sold on one-time lifetime plans. Pine Builder Lite by ProEA is much smaller: a $14.99 skill pack of build rules, two TradingView-verified skeletons and a build report, which you run inside the AI assistant you already use. It includes no AI model and no credits.
| Dimension | Pineify | ProEA |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Lifetime plans, one payment each: Plus $99, Advanced $149, Expert $259, shown against crossed-out $129, $219 and $369. Its page says it is moving to annual subscriptions soon. | Pine Builder Lite $14.99 once. The Starter Stack (Builder Lite, Pine Fixer and Prompt Vault) is $19.99 once. |
| Who runs the AI | Pineify does: 500, 1,000 or 2,500 AI credits a month by plan, plus Advanced Model messages that refresh every five hours. | You do. The pack runs in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini, and you pay whatever that assistant costs you. |
| Platforms | Its coding agent targets Pine Script, MQL4, MQL5, cTrader C#, NinjaScript and thinkScript. | Pine v6 only |
| Building without code | A visual Pine Script editor builds indicators and strategies with no code and no AI. | No visual editor. You describe the idea; your AI asks up to 5 questions before writing anything. |
| Guardrails | Coding Agent features include a Pine Script knowledge base, automatic error fixing and memory of past conversations. | Six build gates check look-ahead, repainting and zero-cost backtests, and every build ends with a report whose "Not validated" section can't be deleted. |
| Refund | Its refund policy says no refunds of any kind after purchase, on every plan. A free plan with basic features is offered to try first. | 7-day refund before download |
| What you keep | Its Terms reserve the intellectual property in material on Pineify to Pineify and its licensors, for your personal use. | Personal license to the pack; scripts you build from the skeletons are yours, and you may publish them |

FAQ
Does Pine Builder Lite include an AI model?
No. It is a set of rules, skeletons and a report template that you hand to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini. Pineify includes hosted AI usage; we don't.
Is there a free example of code built this way?
Yes. Our free IFVG Desk was built from the Pine Builder skeleton architecture, and its full source is on its page.
Will a script built with either tool make money?
Neither tool can promise that. Builder Lite makes your AI write code that compiles, avoids look-ahead and counts costs; whether the idea has an edge is a separate test.
How we check an indicator for repainting
- Freeze. Screenshot the right edge with the version, inputs and time visible.
- Reload. Let several bars close, reload the chart and compare the same window.
- Replay. Step through and note when each marker first appears, not just where it is drawn.
- Alert receipts. Set once-per-bar-close alerts and compare their times with the chart.
With the source open you can also look for higher-timeframe requests that read ahead and markers plotted into the past. The full method is our 20-minute repaint audit. Run it on Pineify's tools and on ours.
