The Core Difference: Score vs Setup
Prospero.ai ranks stocks. It's a research tool that helps you filter a universe to the names worth a closer look.
Tradewink turns that research into tradeable setups — entry price, stop loss, target, conviction score, and reasoning — that you review and paper trade. Tradewink's public offering is paper trading only: Paper Autopilot runs in a simulator or a paper/sandbox broker account, and broker connections are limited to paper or sandbox accounts.
If you're still building a watchlist, Prospero is lovely. If you want to practice acting on signals, Tradewink helps you review each setup and paper trade it; for public-plan users, any real trade is your own decision, placed by you at your broker. Plenty of traders run both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tradewink a replacement for Prospero.ai?
Only partially. Prospero is a free AI stock-scoring app — it ranks tickers on signals distilled from many data points so you can research smarter. Tradewink goes further: it turns signals into trade ideas (entry, stop, target, conviction, and reasoning) that you review and paper trade, runs Paper Autopilot in a simulator or a paper/sandbox broker account, and exposes your watchlist, strategies, alerts, and paper account data to Claude via MCP. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. If you want research-only, Prospero is the lighter tool. If you want to practice acting on AI scores, Tradewink lets you paper trade each reviewed setup.
Does Prospero execute trades?
Prospero does not route orders to a broker — it's a research and scoring app. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. Paper Autopilot runs signals in Tradewink's simulator or a connected paper/sandbox broker account (Alpaca paper, Tradier sandbox, IBKR paper, and others); broker connections are limited to paper or sandbox accounts. For public-plan users, any real trade is your own decision, placed by you at your broker.
Does either support Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code?
Tradewink ships an MCP server (the @tradewink/mcp bridge) for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and other MCP clients, with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE sign-in. Order tools return a preview by default, need your explicit confirmation, and place paper trades only. Prospero does not publish an MCP integration.
How do the AI signals differ?
Prospero distills many data points into a composite score per ticker — great for portfolio-level scanning. Tradewink's signals are per-setup (strategy + entry + stop + target + reasoning) and carry a conviction score from routed-model analysis; some workflows add a multi-agent review with bull and bear perspectives. Different shapes for different trading cadences.
Pricing comparison
Prospero has a generous free plan and paid tiers for premium signals. Tradewink's free tier includes up to 3 delayed AI signals a day (2 sampler signal types) and Discord alerts; paid tiers from $19/month (Starter includes a 7-day free trial) add real-time signals and email and webhook alerts, with deeper analysis routing on Pro and Elite. Every public plan is paper trading only.
Can I use both?
Yes — many traders use Prospero for ranked-list watchlist discovery and Tradewink for reviewing and paper trading setups. The tools are complementary rather than competitive.
