Comparison
WickScan vs Chartelligence
ICT/SMC Screenshot Grading vs Three-Engine Consensus
Last updated 2026-08-21
Short answer
Chartelligence and WickScan both turn a chart screenshot into a graded trade setup with entry, stop-loss and target. Chartelligence is the stronger fit if you trade ICT/SMC concepts specifically — its output speaks that vocabulary natively and it grades setups against prop-firm rule presets. WickScan reads each chart with three AI engines in consensus rather than one lens, derives every level from the chart's own price axis, works via a store-listed browser extension as well as upload, and its permanent free tier includes the full entry/stop/target output with no sign-up expiry. Both have free tiers — the fastest way to choose is to run the same chart through each.
Overview
Chartelligence and WickScan do the same core job: upload a chart screenshot, get back a structured trade read with entry, stop and target. Chartelligence approaches it through an ICT/SMC vocabulary — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps — while WickScan runs three AI engines in consensus over a price-axis-calibrated read. This is an honest look at where they differ; we build WickScan.

What Chartelligence does well
Chartelligence is purpose-built for ICT/SMC traders: it extracts market structure in that framework's own terms — break of structure, fair value gaps, order blocks, liquidity sweeps — and returns primary and alternative scenarios with an A+-to-No-Trade quality grade. Its Prop Firm mode, which grades a setup against the rule presets of popular funded-account programs, is a genuine differentiator if you trade a funded challenge. It also runs a free allowance that resets every Monday with no sign-up required (their pricing page quotes a small number of analyses per week; as of August 2026 their terms quote a slightly higher one).
Where WickScan goes further
WickScan reads every chart with three AI engines in consensus rather than a single analytical lens, and it calibrates the chart's own price axis before quoting any level — entry, stop and target are read off the axis, not estimated. Every scan lands in WickJournal, where you tag how the setup played out and a personal AI trains on the trades you tag — a different mechanism from importing broker CSVs after the fact. WickScan also runs beyond the upload box: a Chrome and Firefox extension (store-listed) scans any chart image you right-click, and an in-app TradingView widget scans without leaving the dashboard. The WickFree tier is permanent and includes the complete output — entry, stop-loss and take-profit are never paywalled.
Pricing and how to choose
As of August 2026, Chartelligence lists a free weekly allowance, a Trader plan at $19/mo ($179/yr) and a Prop Firm plan at $39/mo ($349/yr). WickScan's list prices are a permanent free tier, WickPro at $29.99/mo and WickElite at $149.99/mo. If your trading is built on ICT/SMC concepts or funded-account rules, Chartelligence speaks that language natively. If you want multi-engine consensus, axis-calibrated levels and a journal that trains on your own tagged outcomes, that is what WickScan is designed around. Both free tiers mean the honest answer is to run the same chart through both and compare the reads.
The Verdict
Choose Chartelligence if you trade ICT/SMC concepts or funded-account challenges — its output speaks that framework natively and the prop-firm rule grading is genuinely useful there. Choose WickScan if you want three AI engines in consensus, entry/stop/target read from the chart's own price axis, a store-listed browser extension, and WickJournal training a personal AI on the trades you tag — with a permanent free tier that never paywalls the levels. Both are free to try: run the same chart through both and compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chartelligence?
Chartelligence is a web app that analyzes an uploaded chart screenshot through an ICT/SMC lens — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, break of structure — and returns graded primary/alternative scenarios with entry, stop and target, plus a prop-firm mode that grades setups against funded-account rule presets. As of August 2026 it offers a free weekly-resetting allowance with no sign-up, a $19/mo Trader plan and a $39/mo Prop Firm plan.
What's the main difference between WickScan and Chartelligence?
The analytical approach. Chartelligence reads a chart through the ICT/SMC framework specifically; WickScan runs three independent AI engines in consensus and calibrates the chart's own price axis before quoting entry, stop or target. WickScan also adds a store-listed browser extension, an in-app TradingView widget, and WickJournal — a personal AI trained on the trades you tag.
Is WickScan free?
Yes — WickFree is a permanent free tier with no credit card, and it includes the complete analysis output: three-engine consensus, patterns, support/resistance and the exact entry, stop-loss and take-profit read. The free allowance never recharges; WickPro ($29.99/mo list) recharges it weekly.
Does either tool connect to my broker?
No. Both are screenshot-based by design: Chartelligence states it does not connect to any broker or exchange, and WickScan reads only the chart image you upload — it never streams live market data. WickScan's extension and TradingView widget still work from the image alone.
Which is better for ICT / Smart Money Concepts traders?
If you want output phrased natively in ICT/SMC terms and graded against prop-firm rules, Chartelligence is built for exactly that. WickScan detects the same underlying structures (order blocks and imbalances surface as supply/demand zones and structure labels) and adds multi-engine consensus and axis-calibrated levels — run one of your own charts through both and see which read you trust.
Which is more accurate, WickScan or Chartelligence?
There is no published head-to-head benchmark, so the honest answer is to test both on the same chart. WickScan's three-engine consensus exists precisely to reduce single-model misreads, and its WickJournal lets you tag outcomes over time so you judge it against your own record rather than marketing claims.
