Where TradeDupe wins
Price at the same connection count. TradeSyncer Basic and TradeDupe Standard both give you 2 broker logins with 10 accounts each; TradeSyncer charges $49, TradeDupe $30. At 4 logins it is $99 against $60. At unlimited, $149 against $120. Yearly, $34 / $69 / $104 against $20 / $45 / $90. There is no per-account surcharge inside a tier on either product.
Documented follower controls. Each TradeDupe follower has an on/off toggle, a whole-number multiplier and an allowed-contract list. A fill on a follower that the copier did not place — a manual click in the Tradovate app, a stale bracket leg — is market-closed automatically, which is what stops one account ending up hedged against the rest (this does not cover followers on the same Tradovate login as the leader). TradeSyncer advertises 'Follower Account Protection' and per-account loss limits and lockouts, but does not describe a per-follower toggle or an automatic close of unauthorized fills.
Authorization. TradeDupe connections are authorized through Tradovate's OAuth flow; TradeDupe never sees your password. TradeSyncer says accounts are 'connected via encrypted APIs' and does not state whether it uses OAuth.
