Comparison
PropCopy vs Replikanto
Replikanto is a long-standing NinjaTrader add-on for trade replication, sold as a one-time license through FlowBots. PropCopy ships a cloud-based Tradovate copier plus a native NinjaTrader 8 add-on, sold as monthly subscriptions. Two different shapes of the same product category.
Short version
Pick PropCopy if
- You want a cloud-based copier — no Windows machine running 24/7, no install on every laptop you use.
- Most of your accounts are on Tradovate prop firms (Apex, TopStep, Tradeify, etc.) where the Web Copier is the native fit.
- You prefer subscription pricing tied to how many accounts you’re running this month, with no upfront cost.
- You want a single vendor for both Tradovate cloud copying and a native NT8 add-on.
Pick Replikanto if
- You live in NinjaTrader 8. The leader-to-follower flow inside NT8 is Replikanto’s home turf.
- You prefer a one-time license over a recurring subscription, and you’re comfortable running the copier locally on your own machines.
- You want copy methods like Net Liquidation, Available Money, and Percentage Change configured at the copying engine level.
- You explicitly want cross-contract copying (ES↔MES, NQ↔MNQ) handled by the copier itself.

The real decision: cloud vs local
The biggest practical difference between the two products isn’t any single feature — it’s where the copying engine lives. Replikanto runs inside NinjaTrader on your computer (or on a VPS you rent). PropCopy’s Web Copier runs on our infrastructure; trades route through the cloud whether your laptop is open or not.
Local copying has real benefits: no third-party service to depend on, latency between NinjaTrader and the copier is a network hop you control, and a one-time license is the cheapest possible long-term cost. The trade-off is that you have to keep a machine running, you have to manage NinjaTrader updates and Replikanto compatibility, and copying stops if your machine reboots in the middle of a trade.
Cloud copying flips those trade-offs. You don’t maintain anything, the service is reachable from any device, and the copying engine has no single-machine failure mode. The trade-off is that you depend on us being up — so we treat that seriously.
The honest verdict
Replikanto has been in the NinjaTrader ecosystem for years and is a mature local option, especially for traders who already run NT8 as their primary workstation. PropCopy is the better fit if you want Tradovate-native cloud copying without owning a server, or if you want a single vendor handling both your Tradovate prop accounts and your NT8 setup. If you’re NT8-only and want a one-time license, look hard at Replikanto. If your accounts are spread across Tradovate prop firms, look hard at PropCopy.
