Pricing
Streak has been free for Zerodha users since 17 January 2024, when Zerodha opened it to all its customers. Its older paid platform stopped taking new subscriptions in 2024, and Streak's team said it would be phased out. Some limits remain. In replies on Zerodha's announcement, Streak's team gave them as five live deployments at a time (confirmed again in May 2025), 15 virtual deployments and five live scanners.
QuantPower has three monthly plans:
| Plan | Monthly price | Main features |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Proposed ₹299, GST extra | Final allowance pending; see pricing |
| Professional | Proposed ₹499, GST extra | Final allowance pending; see pricing |
| Ultimate | Proposed ₹999, GST extra | Final allowance pending; see pricing |
QuantPower prices exclude GST. Yearly billing is also offered, and there is a free trial.
The QuantPower Standard plan is free during the Beta (₹299/month after); Professional is ₹499/month and Ultimate ₹999/month, GST extra. See pricing. From October 2026, Zerodha credits the next month's fee to users whose brokerage reaches ₹2,000 in a month. So the real comparison for a Zerodha user is Streak at no cost against a QuantPower plan plus the Kite Connect fee.
How orders are placed
This is the biggest practical difference between the two.
Streak. In a 2024 reply on Zerodha's announcement, Streak's team said that, in line with regulatory guidelines, Streak does not place orders automatically, and in January 2026 it said automated execution was still not supported. When your conditions are met, it sends a notification with the order already filled in, and you confirm each buy or sell. You stay in the loop for every trade, which some traders prefer.
QuantPower. Your strategy's rules place and exit orders as an algo bot. Orders go from your own broker account through the broker's official API, using your own API key, from a static IP registered with your broker, after your daily broker login with two-factor authentication. Self-built strategies stay within SEBI's order-rate limit for them, fewer than 10 orders a second. Your funds and securities stay with your broker. QuantPower is software, not a broker or an adviser, and it gives no tips or calls.
Strategy building compared
Streak is built around technical indicators. You set entry and exit conditions from indicators on a chosen timeframe, backtest them, and deploy them live or virtually. Its scanners search for instruments that meet your conditions, and you can act on the results in Kite.
QuantPower's strategy builder is built around options positions. You choose the legs, strikes and expiry, then add entry, exit and stop rules for the whole position. Signal trading covers the indicator side: an alert from your own indicator can place the order. The MTM stop loss then watches the combined profit or loss of every open position, not just one strategy.
Which to choose
| If you | Consider |
|---|---|
| Trade with Zerodha and use indicator setups on stocks | Streak |
| Want to confirm every order yourself | Streak |
| Need more than five live strategies at once | Verify final plan allowances against your needs |
| Trade options strategies with several legs | QuantPower |
| Trade with Fyers, Upstox or IIFL Capital | QuantPower |
Moving a strategy from Streak
- Note the rules. Entry and exit conditions, instrument, timeframe and position size.
- Connect your broker. Create your own API key and register a static IP with your broker. Zerodha users do this in their Kite Connect developer account; the Zerodha algo trading guide has the steps.
- Rebuild the rules in the strategy builder.
- Backtest them and compare the results with Streak's backtest.
- Paper trade for a few weeks on live prices.
- Stop the Streak deployment before the QuantPower one goes live, so the same signal does not trade twice.
