So you want to create custom indicators for TradingView but don't want to learn Pine Script? I get it. Learning a programming language just to make a simple moving average crossover indicator feels like overkill.

I've been testing both GetPineScript and Pineify for a while now, and honestly, they're pretty different despite trying to solve the same problem. Let me tell you what I found.

What Are These Things?​

GetPineScript is basically a simple code generator. You pick some settings, it spits out Pine Script code. Nothing fancy, but it works for basic stuff.

Pineify is more like having a coding buddy who actually knows what they're doing. You can either draw what you want visually or just tell it "hey, make me an indicator that does X" and it figures it out.

The Actual Differences That Matter​

How Many Indicators You Get​

GetPineScript has about 40 indicators. That's decent for most people's needs - you've got your RSI, MACD, moving averages, the usual suspects.

Pineify has over 90. Yeah, that's more than double. Some of them are pretty niche, but when you need something specific, you're glad it's there.

How Easy Is It to Use?​

GetPineScript is straightforward. Pick your indicator, adjust some settings, copy the code. Done. It's like ordering from a limited menu - simple but not much room for creativity.

Pineify gives you two ways to work:

  • Draw what you want (seriously, you can just drag and drop stuff)
  • Type what you want in plain English and let the AI figure it out

The AI part is actually pretty good. I asked it to "make an indicator that shows when price is above the 20-day moving average but RSI is below 30" and it just... did it. No fuss.

The Best Pine Script Generator

What Can You Actually Do?​

Here's where things get interesting.

With GetPineScript, you can:

  • Make basic indicators
  • Set up simple alerts
  • Add basic stop losses and take profits
  • Run backtests (though they're pretty basic)

With Pineify, you can do all that plus:

  • Take existing Pine Script code and modify it (this is huge if you find something online that's almost what you want)
  • Work with multiple timeframes at once
  • Build really complex conditions (like "if this AND that OR this other thing happens")
  • Combine multiple indicators into one script
  • Actually edit the code yourself if you want to tweak something

The Money Talk​

GetPineScript costs $79 for lifetime access. Sounds great, right?

Pineify has three options:

  • Free version (limited but you can try it out)
  • Plus for $99 lifetime (they say it's usually $123)
  • Advanced for $159 lifetime (supposedly down from $229)

Yeah, Pineify costs more. But here's the thing - I hit the limits of GetPineScript pretty quickly. With Pineify, I haven't found something I couldn't do yet.

Also, if you're on TradingView's free plan, you can only use 3 custom indicators at once. Pineify lets you combine multiple indicators into one script, which is a neat workaround.

What It's Actually Like to Use​

I'll be honest - GetPineScript is fine if you just need basic stuff and don't plan to get fancy. But I got frustrated pretty fast when I wanted to do anything even slightly complex.

With Pineify, I've made some pretty cool indicators that would have cost me hundreds to hire someone to code. Plus, when I mess something up, I can just ask the AI to fix it instead of starting over.

One thing that surprised me: Pineify's visual editor actually helped me understand how indicators work. I'm not a coder, but seeing how the pieces fit together visually made a lot of concepts click.

So Which One Should You Pick?​

Look, if you just need one or two basic indicators and you're really tight on money, GetPineScript will do the job. It's like buying a basic calculator when you need to do simple math.

But if you're serious about trading and want tools that won't limit you, go with Pineify. It's like the difference between a basic calculator and a smartphone - yeah, it costs more, but you can do so much more with it.

The lifetime pricing is nice too. No monthly fees to worry about, and you get updates as they add new features.

Honestly, I wish I'd started with Pineify from the beginning instead of outgrowing GetPineScript and having to switch later. Would have saved me some headaches.
