The free plan has limits
GoCharting has a free plan and a Premium plan. The charts you keep open together, your alerts and the advanced order-flow tools depend on the plan you are on.
Compare
GoCharting vs Arth.live.
A free GoCharting alternative.
GoCharting is a charting platform known for its order-flow tools. Arth.live is a charting platform built from scratch in India, and it is free for everyone: every indicator, every drawing tool and up to 16 charts on one screen, with no paid plan. Here are the two side by side, so you can decide which fits the way you work.

02 / Why traders look
Why look for a
GoCharting alternative.
Arth.live starts from the other end. Nothing is held back for a paid plan, your own indicator starts as a sentence, and the broker is the one you already have.
Your own indicator means code
Your own indicators and strategies on GoCharting are written in Lipi, its scripting language. Its docs show how an AI agent can help write a Lipi script, and say that a script written by AI should be tested in the editor.
Trading needs a supported broker
To trade from a GoCharting chart, your broker has to be one of the brokers it integrates with. Not every broker is available.
03 / What you get
On Arth.live,
free.
Every tool, from the first day
100+ indicators, 25 candle patterns, 25 chart formations, 19 chart types, 50 drawing tools, bar replay, saved layouts and alerts. Nothing is held back for a paid plan.
16 charts on one screen
Sixteen symbols or sixteen timeframes side by side on a larger screen. A phone shows four at a time.
Arth Script, in plain words
Say “show me when the close crosses above the 20 EMA with RSI above 55”. Arth AI writes the script, shows the rule back to you in plain words and draws it on your chart. Save it, use it in alerts, share it.
Your own language
Arth AI answers in 25 languages: English, 15 Indian languages and 9 others.
04 / One rule, two routes
The same idea,
both ways.
A trader has a simple idea for NIFTY. Buy when the 15-minute close crosses above the 20 EMA and RSI (14) is above 55. Exit when the close falls back below the 20 EMA. This is how it gets from an idea to a backtest on each platform.
| Step | On GoCharting | On Arth.live |
|---|---|---|
| Put the rule in | Write it as a Lipi strategy, with its entry and exit rules in code | Type or say the sentence to Arth AI |
| Check it | Read the code, and test it in the editor | Arth AI shows the rule back to you in plain words |
| Backtest it | Run it on GoCharting’s built-in backtester | Ask for a backtest. The trades, P&L, win rate and drawdown come back |
| Use it again | Save the script | Save it under My indicators, or ask your own AI app through Arth MCP |
A backtest shows past results on historical candles. It is not a forecast. How Arth Script works
05 / Fair to say
Where GoCharting
is stronger.
If you read the market through order flow, GoCharting is made for it. This is what its own pages describe.
Order flow
GoCharting is built around order flow: footprint and imbalance charts, volume profile and market profile (TPO), delta, cumulative volume delta, a depth-of-market panel and time and sales. Its pages state that basic footprint and profile tools are on the free plan and the advanced ones need Premium.
Market data in the box
Its pricing page states that the free plan includes real-time NSE and MCX data, with US markets on paid plans. Arth.live is software, not a market-data vendor: live prices come from your own broker or data-feed vendor.
Markets beyond India
Besides NSE and MCX, GoCharting covers CME futures, crypto from exchanges such as Binance and Bybit, and CFD and forex prices.
Apps and a scalping screen
GoCharting has iOS and Android apps, and ScalPro, a scalping screen with a depth-of-market ladder and bracket orders.
06 / AI
Arth AI, and
your own AI.
Arth AI is software, not an adviser. It gives no buy or sell calls.
Arth AI, inside the chart
It writes rules and indicators from plain language, explains what an indicator measures and backtests your own rules on historical candles. 100 free actions a month.
Arth MCP, for the AI app you already use
If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, connect it with Arth MCP and keep working in your own AI app. Arth MCP is live today: your AI can read candles, build a rule and run a backtest on the Arth.live engine. GoCharting’s MCP server searches its documentation, so your AI can look up Lipi.
07 / Trading
Trade from the chart,
with your own broker.
Your broker, not a short list
Arth.live is charts and research. When you want to trade, the free QuantPower bridge connects your own broker account to the same chart, with 100+ Indian brokers to choose from. Your money and positions stay with your broker.
Brokerage is your choice too
Because the broker is yours to choose, you pick the brokerage plan that suits you. The list includes brokers with lifetime-free brokerage plans.
You place the order
